A lot of 'modern' musical styles are either Blues or Jazz based, except Pop Music, which is generally vacuous, homogenised crap.

Just in case people didn't already know, I'm pretty sure these sorts of programs can't be used on an SSD. Even on CCleaner I had to change my settings. I now have it set to not wipe free space (including MFT free space), and use normal file deletion instead of secure file deletion. I also use CCleaner a lot less frequently now. Maybe once every couple of weeks or so.

I won't watch the original version of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The remakes are just blatant gore-fests. The original really gives a sense of this family being completely batshit crazy. For me it's a hell of a lot more disturbing than the remakes. I recently watched a movie called 'Martyrs'. It's a French Movie, so if subtitles aren't your thing, you'd be best off not watching it. Pretty gory, and it has been labeled as 'torture porn', which woul

At that price you'd be off your chump not to buy it if you have a tablet. It may not be as feature rich as the PC version, but as Doc has stated, it might be nice for doing stuff on the go. For example, having an idea for a

My apologies for the late reply. I ended up sleeping quite a lot yesterday due to feeling ill and not being able to sleep properly over the last few days because it's been so warm (read humid). Anyhoo... Given that I'm a misanthrope, there's quite a lot I find to be abhorrent about my species. But I guess violence is something I consider abhorrent behaviour, especially when it comes to something like war. I'm not going to turn this into a war thread, but simply state t

Allow me to clarify a few things, just in case my first response is misinterpreted. The article Jorge linked to also states that "The decision follows the revelation last month that details of the holder’s sex could be erased from all passports to spare transgender people from embarrassment". I believe such action is wrong. The UK Passport Service provides me with the ability to change the gender listed on my passport once I have taken certain steps and

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="1" id="3004678"]Just another side to look at[/quote] Fair comment, and I do agree with what you've said, but it does seem rather predatory. How many foods contain saturated fats? I have a limited diet as it is, just so I can keep my food bill low, and thanks to inflation I'm already finding that harder to achieve. If something like this gets introduced over here, I'm going to be eating more noodles in a week than a University student.

"Denmark has become the first country in the world to create a fat tax. The tax, which came into force on Saturday, is a government health drive aimed at encouraging people to buy less foods containing saturated fats. In practice this means an increase in the price of a pack of butter by 2.20 kroner (25p) to more than 18 kroner (£2.07). Christian Jensen, who runs a supermarket in Copenhagen, said: "It has b
