Is incumbency really that big an advantage? The circumstances some, Clinton, W. Bush and Obama's second terms were quite unique and prior to those 3 only 13 others have done the consecutive terms thing. Out of 44.

No objection to amendment for this issue.

Biden should have he sense to stop Biden. And there should be an upper age limit placed on the role.

Just read a few pages and put it back down

Cause of the reflection in the window, and the colour I guess, I thought he was running this as a taxi!

Steeping is just another word for soaking the tea/tea bag. For when the tea is sitting in the boiled water.

Didn't Simon Pegg write that one?a big Trekky writing it probably helped

You do!

The power of voodoo!

The man with the power!

I do, kind of two really. Dunnottar above Stonehaven, of the ruined castles. Then Drum Castle, on the Deeside of the intact castles, are my favourite. It's the feel of the place, as well as the history, the original keep section, stories etc. Drum is just along the road from more famous Crathes. Crathes has fancier and larger grounds for walking. Aberdeenshire has the most castles per acre than anywhere else in Britain, so there's a lot of choice in the area.

This is what is pushing me towards a flip phone. I just don't have a need for a 6.7" phone or bigger.

We still have a lot of inhabited castles here in Scotland. Still a ludicrous number of them too,I think 1500 or so, in various states of course. Over 3000 known of existing. When I was young a few of those castles turned over to the National Trust, were partially occupied by the families still. I think maybe still Glamis and a few other Trust (like public now castles, no longer private only) properties are still lived in day to day. A good few are private still, will have open days for visiting, I think there's a designated day for the visits but I forget the details.

Best i know it was s mixed bag, dependent on numerous factors, the exact purpose of the castle, the wealth of the laird, the availability of materials. If it was a defence structure only, then it was unlikely to have been rendered,/washed/painted. As time went on, these weren't just defensive though, they were homes to nobility. So traditionally the castles were rendered/washed in some shade. Often a bright shade as they wanted to be known in the area and to leave no doubt where the centre of power was, who was the richest etc. Nowadays in Scotland probably most look like this but there are still examples, Craigievar is Pink for one... there's a lot to it all. Quite interesting, the evolution of castles through history.

It would be fun wouldn't it.

He reminds me of a man...

Now that sounds promising, I'll check it out today

What's caused the resurgence? Must admit I played a lot when it was new but my interest just fell off. Guess cause of the leveling up partly. Oddly I did just play titanfall 2 online for the time in forever, heard they'd fixed the issues at last, and right enough I was in a game in under a minute. Missed it more than I realised.

I also have a suspension they don't want the kids able to identify the inappropriate sexual abuse they are committing on the kids, startling how often these uptight cunts end up being pedos.

I have to agree, it bothers me every year, but I take a high dose vitamin d supplement, make sure I get out for an hour at least at lunchtime, also bought a wake up light alarm which helps in the mornings
