For those of you who have the good taste to dig XTC, then check out the "25 o'clock" EP and "Psonic Psunspot" album by a band called The Dukes of Stratosphear . This is XTC under a different name making music of a somewhat 60's cum psychedelic bent and it's just midbendingly good...

Does this mean the barcode conspiracy theory was all for nothing ? I can now go shopping without satanic overtones ?

Wow, that's a weight off my mind.

It's terrible. The government is going to have to redo all those barcodes on the backs of our necks.

God is infallible.
Sorry to say, people aren't.

LOL, Iryssa.

In God's so infallible, then what is the aesthetic or indeed practical justification for the design of the human reproductive system ?

Could it be that God just has a nasty sense of humour ?

I'm sure I'll be damn nervous and reactionary, rather than taking the lead. If memory serves me correctly I was exactly like that, and I'm willing to bet the same applies for pretty much everyone. I found that being in the company of an extremely nice lady who was a fair bit older than me made my a...

Lord Foul, Firstly, I take my hat off to you for having the courage to even bring the subject up. Honestly mate, it really isn't that abnormal that you've reached 20 and you remain a virgin. It's more common than you might think. As regards sex, and the mystique of it all... yes, there may be times ...

Are there any strong connections with Ratz and a Nazi past? All I've seen is a few Brit headlines, but I haven't read the articles, and I don't really know which Brit-tabs are worth the paper they're printed on. The only connection is that as a young Bavarian lad, Ratzinger wound up in the Hitler Y...
