As I have pointed out - blacks and Arabs were every bit as involved in the trading of slaves. Slavery isn't and wasn't a white thing.Quote:

Morocco going solar. That's pretty cool.
That is a quite impressive project although it will still be hydro doing most of the heavy lifting.

That seems a crazy escalation to me. :cab:

Lol no pun intended btw.
Keep your marriage talk to the relevant thread please.

Surely there's a more innovative way to get Shakespeare in there than just sticking a pencil drawing of his face into an arbitrarily tippexed out bit of the image.
I don't really know what the purpose of it is, but the current ones have a similar light bit.
I'm sure most will have seen them by now but Norway's new ones are pretty classy:

They have a lighter bit, but it isn't in the middle of a full colour image so it doesn't look as daft. I'd also like to know why Shakespeare is in the middle of the 'Landmarks and Architecture' pages. There was definitely an architect among the people being 'honoured'. Stick him in there, you twats.
Those Norwegian ones are great.
I assumed that image isn't how it will actually appear when printed. If it's as dark as that any stamps are going to be illegible.
It's best to be minimalist with these things, otherwise they risk looking shit (as above) and end up dating very easily. Look how well our national sporting emblems have held up.

In the Supreme Court's decision, Mr Justice Liam McKechnie said the IDA had never denied that it had no particular industrial undertaking in mind for the lands.
He said the authority was trying to create a land bank and added that the law did not give any power to the IDA to acquire lands not required for immediate use.
The court also ruled the IDA could not be satisfied the criteria laid down in the legislation for acquiring lands had been met because it had not established who the ultimate user of the land would be.
It doesn't just "suggest" it, it says they openly admitted it.
No, but I spent enough time inside the walls there to know that there was/is a site well into the planning stages to match what they have in Portland currently. There is never anything officially announced until they play the sites off against each other for it but this was 95% (pending that site) after the delays in Tel Aviv with the newest process, as it was to go on an existing current process site outside the US.Quote:

I think everybody's aware of that. There are still plenty of better looking ones about and our current ones aren't bad at all.
Bit annoyed as I've just updated my passport, wouldn't mind getting a shit design one for the lols.
I don't know where else to put this but it sounds and looks hideous.

Mine were sorted differently, so I just got the musings of some dreadfully smug English Lit students.

How on earth did he avoid a custodial sentence?
Why the need of mentioning tattooed bouncer?
So you can tell him apart from the other guy in the photo who looks like a bouncer with tattoos!
What sort of "indecent images of a child" would warrant punishment but only to the tune of a £500 fine? It's surprising he got such a lenient sentence for the drink driving alone, but that that was part of the same incident and seems to be such a sidenote of the case is particularly strange.
The title of that picture. :D
And me thinking that they could just write "the one on the right " or similar.
Because they need to let you know how terrible a person he is. In the world of the Daily Mail having a tattoo automatically makes you the bad guy.Quote:

What a fucking mook. Surely unless she fingered his g-spot he'd have to be aroused for this to have taken place?
He looks exactly like I would expect a GamerGater to look so I can imagine they're rallying around him.
I bet he was twice the size of her. Powerless.

Would you stop posting these obviously fake articles, @Jeet? It's not good enough and you're beginning to become a bit of a fucking pest.
