    Saxon / Anglo-Saxon Archaeology & Artefacts

    I remember corinium museum as having some rather triff mosaics. Guess they just didn't appeal? :( i've always felt that there really is no art to find the minds construction in the face and I don't really get excited by the facial recinstructions - although I do enjoy the progs and other...

    World's End: Post-Apocalyptic Fashion & Music

    It was fashinable, easily done at home and annoyed the grownups. Mind you, I moved out and into motorbikes asap so I'm not an authority. From my experience by the time people heard about it it was already a media fabrication and any attempt to see a movement or whatever would be post hoc...

    Christian Mysticism

    Many people of faith (broadest term implied) regard all ritual as adiaphora. :) Mind you, some people of faith regard all of it as adiaphoric and merely the outward visible sign of inward spiritual truth. Shrug. Maybe you need to work out what you mean by "ritual" as well as "christian" and...

    Faking Victimhood To Get Attention / Celebrity / Notoriety

    Breezilla, you've nailed it :) I can eat wheat. I don't go into anaphylactic shock, it's just not too good for me :D Well, unless hiccups and hives are this season's must-haves of course :rolleyes: Kath

    Faking Victimhood To Get Attention / Celebrity / Notoriety

    hug for BRF :( I get especially wound up by food faddists. Especially people who think they MIGHT have an intolerance and decide to upgrade it to an allergy, instead of getting tested and making any necessary adjustments. GET A LIFE! SMACK! GET OVER IT! SMACK! and in general just SMACK...

    Christian Mysticism

    Ah! my initial reaction was exactly the same as Lopaka's (now what are the odds against THAT huh? ;) ) and so I wonder if you should maybe look at the whole phrasing of the question? Mainly on the grounds of me still being baffled I have to confess....... :rofl: There is a well defined and...

    Do Cohabiting Women Synchronise Their Menstruation? ..

    Have never been in the situation for long enough to test it - would need several cycles/months to adjust I assume? but it's often been a topic of discussion when settling into things like dorms or lets for digging. I /do/ know that having some very MALE chap about leaking hormones all over...

    GhostStudy.com: What Do You Make Of It?

    these days, in scotland at least, the custom is to take photos and to hold the child for as long as you need. Rather than being sick or repugnant it's a cultural difference, no? People used to have mourning jewellery of jet and hair, portraits and photos and so on... But it's a theoretical...

    The Grave Of Robin Hood

    To continue the archery thing (well, this IS Robin Hood!) most of us archers find we are limited by the weight we can draw not our distance from the ground.... so it's upper body strength and a good solid base to brace on not having enough clearance for a longer bow. Look at the popularity of...
