How is transport today in London?
Snow seems to be one of the many things that causes massive disruptions on the tube/buses – is it worth me trying to get into the centre of town, where I have many important things to do, or should I hope it’s better tomorrow?

I paid 65p for Hallelujah by Alexandra Burke from play.com – was that good value for money?

Steam from exhaust?
I have a 1996 Oldsmobile Aurora, my husband put a new radiator in it and now there is steam coming from the exhaust pipes. It still runs and sounds good, it just smokes all the time. It looks like when you start your car on a cold morning, and you can see the exhaust, it [...]

I am not a very clever person or into High Finance, but with so many people lsing their jobs and facing re-possession through no fault of their own, why does the Government not enable people to stay in the home they have been buying by paying their lender

Ok, when is a real electric car coming out?
I mean sold in North American dealerships. Not concept, testing, shows, hybrids, none of that. When will it be possible to go out, test-drive and buy an electric vehicle? Very tired of big 3 BS.
Why don’t credit report checking companies check to see if you have a job?
I have an excellent credit rating, apart from the fact that I am a student with no job – why do these companies neglect to mention that salient point in their checks and reports?

Do you believe the Genesis creation "days" were long periods of time?
I believe the creation "days" were long periods of time spanning billions of years. Science affirms biblical creation and refutes darwinian evolution. The Hebrew word yom, translated as "day" can also mean "an indefinite period of time" as in Genesis 2:4. Boqer for "morning" can also mean "beginning", and ereb for "evening" [...]
Why aren’t we pushing harder for better fuel economy in cars?
Oil is not going to become more plentiful – EVER.
Why aren’t we pushing for more hybrids or all-electric cars? Only GM is working on an all-electric car slated for 2010, and that’s not 100% certain.
Why aren’t we generally pushing for 45 MPG or better on as many vehicles as we can?
Wars have been waged and [...]
What happened to Hitler’s personal fortune?
Since we’re in a bit of a Hitler mood tonight…
He made a packet out of sales of Mein Kampf. What happened to it when he died? Was it lost, confiscated, transferred to his next of kin?
And what about other Nazis? People like Goering and Goebbels were loaded. Where did their money go?
1p 2p and even 5p coins. useful or redundant?
i hate them. they take up room and serve no real use. all you can do is save them up and change them for real money in a bank. it’d stop shops saying "only

Which nationality of men make the ‘best’ husbands?
I’d love to know the statistical analysis of this (for example, the marriage of British women to, say, Americans tend to last * years, compared to * years for those married to Australians).
Do specific (stereotypical) characteristics of different nationalities make a difference to how good they are perceived to be by British women? For [...]

If you want real facts, what is the best breed of Dog?
If they are talking about International Breed, Huskies are the best breed. They are not meant to live in a hot country where climates are very delicates to them. They are also good family pets and also for Dog Shows. If they want only Bodyguard dogs, Rottweilers and German Shepherds are the best. For children [...]

I don’t mean how important is your marriage to you, although please feel free to comment on that if you wish.
What I am interested to know is, how do people view the institution of marriage? Do you look at people differently if they are married, or living together?

‘Happy Anniversary’ anyway? Today is my 50th anniversary of my first wedding, and I tried to call him, but he no long has that number. His wife is very jealous, though, anyway, and I truly wouldn’t want to cause him trouble.I did call our son, and asked him to call his dad, and tell him [...]
"What do you mean it is not on sale anymore"?
This is what I said after my wife took something up to the counter last night and was told that the marked sale price, was no longer in effect. Shouldn’t a place of business be obligated to sell a piece of merchandise for what it is marked for? IMO, it is not our [...]
Are you a brand name shopper?
When you go shopping, do you only buy brand name items or do you sometimes buy the cheap brand depending on what the product is? I buy brand name shoes because I find that because I wear a fairly large shoe(size 12), the cheap ones don’t seem to hold up very well. For [...]
