  1. You can believe them if you chose to do so. I know I will not take their word for it...
  2. Free for a year. after that is quids in for Microsoft. Every year, so long as you run the computer.
  3. Windows 10 is a subscription service. Every year you are called to pay for a product you have bought. As a matter of fact, windows 10 is not a product you would want to install in your PC for a myriad of reasons. Just google it.
  4. It is legit, but stay well clear. http://www.ghacks.net/2015/06/01/how-to-block-the-windows-10-update-notification-in-earlier-versions-of-windows/
  5. I am looking at this (it is the VLEH, right?) and the SR22. Both look the part, and are similar price. Please let us know how it feels after you shoot it a bit.
  6. I do not know. I admit, I was not very learned on the whole subject, and when I read the text I was taken aback. I found it incredibly one sided and potentially harmful to Europe. I thought it was something new, and with all the noises being made with regards to the TTIP, when I was offered to have a read I took the opportunity. Either way, old or new development, that is, I feel it is doing Europe no favours...
  7. I think that the the most disturbing topic in the tenth round of negotiations is focused on new powers discussed mean that TTIP will grant US corporations the right to sue European governments for any policies causing future loss of profits, in a parallel judicial system available to them alone. I think this is a very important issue not many people are aware of. What it means is that if a US corporation feels that a European country threatens its future profits by, say developing a medication targetting a condition they currently have a treatment for, they can sue and, under these new powers, be awarded a lot of damages. It is a very disturbing idea. I was in Brussels in the European Commision on Monday and Tuesday, and I had access to a draft of the legislation. When I say it is scary, I mean it. It is still under negotiation and subject to secrecy, so I cannot really go into details.
  8. I agree. If you are a US corporaton is GREAT news. If, on the other hand you live in Europe and are European, you are snookered!
  9. Well done on them. Very brave of them.
  10. Aparently Marlin 1894s are not even in the production line yet. SMK confirmed that when I enquired in two different firearms dealers. They do not know just when they will get them manufactured, let alone shipped over here...I tried a Rossi but I did not feel like it fit well. I did not like the looks of the Chiappa they had either, and they did not have a Henry in stock, neither did they know when they would. I guess I will have to ait a few months and hope that Marlins start getting shipped in the UK again...
  11. I came across a couple of articles that I found particularly interesting. It looks at things from a diferent vantage point. One of them is a bit longer than the other, but both are quite insightful. Here and here.
  12. I hope the 'hero' who punched the guy for doing some gardening is dealt with promtly.
  13. You said it yourself. So why make a claim that is so extreme? Unless you believe your ability to judge who is genuinely fleeing persecution and who is an economic migrant is objective and you base your answers on that, which I maintain, is laughable. I do not have a figure, and this is the reason I do not make any claims. I do believe though that most of these people are not economic migrants. Some are, but if I was living in Syria, Iraq or any other warzone, a better life in a richer country (which, by the way, played a massive part in flattening my hometown and plundering its resources) would be high in my agenda, but not as high as saving my life and the lives of those I love and care for.

    Kalivia and Hasia are a meat eater's heaven. Unbelievable... That and 'biftekadika' in Glyfada...
  15. I made no claims. You said with some certainty that 90% of these people are economic migrants. Pulling numbers out of thin air and then making claims based on these figments of your imagination is laughable.

    There. I fixed it for you...
  17. There is a lot of truth in what you said. Indeed, Europeans and their colonial past have a lot to answer for the state of many failed states in Africa Asia and beyond...
  18. If you canot afford children, you should not have any. Why is two acceptable if you do not have the means? Nobody should pay for anyone's family, idealy.
  19. Which channel is this? I had a lovely day, I think I need some balance in my life. Time to get angry at reality TV characters.
  20. I would love to see where you get your sources. As a side note, the sun and the daily mail are not legitimate scientific bodies, you know...
