Thanks for the tip. I'll be reading that, at some point.

Just finished Juice. Well worth the read. Right up to the final paragraph.

I suspect that Heinlein appeals because his pages are the first place you encounter some concepts as a young reader. That is certainly true for me. 50 years later my (our?) ideas are more nuanced. That said, the minute my friend returns The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress I intend to reread it. I...

I have just started Tim Winton's Juice. Nine pages in it bodes well for being a VERY good book.

I'd be interested to know about those scenarios. And if you can, as I said before, I would love to hear how taking that life in those circumstances could possibly advance your wish to die One that your argument brought to me was someone who prevents a bridge jumping. You end his life for the...

Nah, if you have the capacity to kill someone, and you want to die ... do I have to spell it out?

Yeah, we don't do any of that here. Pumpkins are for roasting. :) With lamb, or beef or chicken or pork, and potato and parsnip. Damn! It's 5 days 'til Sunday and I want Sunday lunch NOW. :D Pi.

Is that a pumpkin pie? I've heard of them but never seen one.

I realise you are making a highly theoretical argument but it is a false equivalency. In practical terms, killing the politician who opposes legislation, the doctor who won't give you extra morphine or the loved one who won't do what you need them to do, in order to die, doesn't advance your aim...

No question, but not an offence punishable by death. Of the 3 or 4 groups that are likely to try to prevent an earnestly desired death, the only one I could think of that wasn't well intentioned is the busy-body religious kind. And even then you could argue good intentions. As tempting as it...

That was funny, but it's a direct descendant of Dara O'Briain's Mock the Week, which was funnier.

Yeah. Relatively healthy, active for age, most of your marbles still rolling freely - gone. That's unexpected. That's what I want, too. Expected. Cancer, Parkinson's, MND, strokes, heart conditions, a whole bunch of deteriorations that make your life miserable, regardless of age. I know a...

OOC Wingwalking used to mean something different.

I didn't like The Da Vinci Code so I wasn't optimistic when a mate told me I HAD to read origins by the same author. I was wrong. Enjoying it.

Have been bingeing Firefly for the last few days. Then I'll binge Hustle.

Very nice and accurate list - except that drudges are always the bottom of the barrel. You would have realised that if you hadn't been in poor health.

I came across this when i read a book that was written with various Irish idioms and i heard the whole book in my Irish friend's voice.

You do realise that some men have no idea that they have fathered a child, where most women figure out that they are a mother.

Thank you. I needed that.

I don't know the show but I love your review.
