It's academic - any decision to change the clocks in the UK has to include a buy-in from the devolved Welsh and Scottish assemblies - both have a veto, and the Scottish will use theirs!
It seems that we have this particular Chestnut come up every year, and every year it's the same - it isn't going to happen (sadly!)

According to the study's Executive Summary:
"This review does not address contaminant content (such as herbicide, pesticide and fungicide residues) of organically and conventionally produced foodstuffs or the environmental impacts of organic and conventional agricultural practices."
Why such a pejorative stance? All it's saying is that is hasn't taken into account - for either types of food - the effect of eating them unwashed - isn't it?
And, also that it hasn't looked at environmental impacts etc., but that it's *just* looked at the nutritional value - which is the focus of the main report.
You must be new here, despite that ID number. Slashdotters don't rtfa. They barely rtfs.
Saves time that way.
What ID, where?

3. a. A string or wire, on which papers and documents are strung for preservation and reference. In recent use extended to various other appliances for holding papers so that they can be easily referred to.
c. A catalogue, list, roll. Obs.
4. a. A collection of papers placed on a file, or merely arranged in order of date or subject for ready reference.
b. Computers. A collection of related records stored for use by a computer and able to be processed by it. Also attrib. and Comb.

Sounds like a file is a queue - or, is that a list!

Global warming, fundamentalist christian, jews, muslims, poisonous food additives,and a global echonomic collaps can be a good start.
Who's this 'fundamentalist christian' you're referring to - the Pope?
So, how does this 'bollocks up' Eric Idle's Galaxy Song?
>>Granted, it's idiotic to think a real terrorist would dress the part to get on an airplane
As terrorists are apt to blow themselves up, believe in faries etc, I think it's safe to assume that they're morons - rather than being simply idiotic. As such, and given that they're 'as thick as shit', I wouldn't put it past them!
