    owning your web presence/history?

    I can't remember, does dissensus have a terms of use agreement? Wouldn't that say that anything posted is subject to the moderators or something - basically you agree that you are participating in a public arena?

    clumsiness

    When I used to work in Subway many jobs ago we had one of these drains near the front of the shop. Someone dropped a flash mobile phone down there but couldn't get it out (the drain was about 1.8m deep) so whoever it was just left it there. My fellow bored sandwich artist and I spent ages trying...

    Tibet is not China

    San Francisco has a huge Chinese population doesn't it (I heard somewhere it has the largest Chinatown in the US/world?). It'll be interesting to see how that plays out.

    Bojo

    Hehehehe. Aren't those flesh coloured Y-fronts he's got on though? Who know's what's under there ;) I'll probably vote for Paddick and give my second preference to Ken. Ken's great but as people have said he's been in office for a while.

    disappearance of ambient/chill out rooms?

    dubstep has become the second room chill out thing at some raves. Could be detrimental to the public perception of dubstep though by having it painted as a 'chill out' genre.

    Life before death

    It's sad that their relatives and friends stay away to avoid being close to death. I hate how it's such a taboo (in western society at least). Mortality is the only given in life and we shouldn't spend all our time fearing it.

    Pregnant US man hails 'miracle'

    Haha, my work colleagues where just talking about this and I was expecting it to get the dissensus treatment. It's all a bit sensationalist isn't it. He's just a woman with a beard. Google 'Buck Angel' to explore the issue further (NSFW):P. They could have both gotten pregnant and had a race.

    Nandos [split from disssensus drinks thread]

    Well you're missing out on the best kebabs in London. side note: 'Harringay' is the name for the area around Green Lanes. 'Haringey' is for the Council and its area.

    haircuts

    4 back and sides, 5 on top with some hair to syle at the front :) That's the basic formula I've been rocking for most of my life

    Bojo

    The congestion charge lead to a 14% reduction in journey times for those entering the central zone and reduced variability in journey times. Bus patronage increased from 90k pre charge to around 116k after. Trains didn't change much. I'm all for the congestion zone and dread what Boris would...

    Direct me to broken-beat in London please

    Agreed. I still consider grime to be the most advanced dance genre in terms of rhythm structure.

    Clothes

    Nice to see someone else converting the value of everything into records. I would see an ad for a car on tv think 'that's like 1000 records!'

    Direct me to broken-beat in London please

    I love broken beat. The positive vibes are a great anti-dote to a lot of the dark wankery I listen to. And ok, so it can be a tiny bit pretentios sometimes but I think there's a lot of humour and silliness to it. I miss the days when J Da Flex was still on 1xtra , all I know about broken was...

    The next generation

    Ah, of course. I was thinking more along the lines of how far conservative religious views can be accommodated in the public realm, e.g. should Christian adoption charities be able to turn down gay couples etc.

    The next generation

    To be OT for a second... I find this very interesting. Are you talking about Christian Conservatives?

    Nandos [split from disssensus drinks thread]

    ok well I have low standards then. But you have to admit that peri-peri is nice. I know other restaurants use it but Nandos popularised it and made it their 'thing'. So when people say they like Nandos they're probably just really saying they like the chicken with peri-peri.

    The next generation

    I was just expressing the immediate impression I got from what people have said in this thread. To declare my political leanings I would like things down and to the left (surprise surprise).

    The next generation

    Isn't this just a case of the 'left' and 'right' wings operating on two axes: And that current bipartisan politics doesn't fully accommodate this spread of opinion. From what has been said here, the next generation are moving down and to the right
