Thanks very much guys: it is much appreciated. Tricky - thanks for the offer but I suspect you might be right. Bhaexpress/ Westdene - thanks, this is very useful. I thought it was simply a numbers game but these are useful tools to maximise my chances of getting to the top of the pile.

Hi I don't post often on this board but I am after some advice. I am about to be liberated from the tyranny of work and was wondering if anyone has any advice on good recruitment consultants or other means of finding suitable employment. I have registered with Monster and Reed, so advice on any...

I'm in for Sunday, too. Hope the weather is cool.

Psst, I'm vegan. :smile: I, however, am indifferent to the screams of tofu I am genuinely interested in your promotion of Paul Watson et al in your signature and (what I assume is your position but forgive me if I'm wrong) meat eating. Particularly given the methods that Sea Shepherd use (I...

I'd agree. Seems implausible both from their physiology and behaviour. Although there are scientific reports claiming they do feel pain and others that claim they don't released about every five seconds. Must be a bugger being a fish: one day you feel pain and the next you don't...

If that's right, I guess it's a good job I'm not a Buddhist. The line will always be flexible but the terms I use are sentience with a very heavy dose of the precautionary principle. Celery, lentils, bacteria are not sentient. Cows, pigs, sheep obviously are. Molluscs - don't ask me - apply the...

If it's all the same, I will concede to Looney. Apparently I'm far too misanthropic or mentally ill to debate with him (or her..) Sir (or Madam) I bow to your superior <whatever you think it is> :bowdown: Shi-ite, I hope I don't sound too preachy. My reasoning is (I hope) fairly simple. The...

Surely if meat eating is banned, there will be no livestock breading. Besides, there'd be no egg to stick the crumbs to the livestock. Seriously, though. Where did I say that this WOULD happen? You posed a question, I answered it which means that one veggie has explained what would happen to...

Obviously in a meat-free world there would be no cats. Dogs can survive on non-meat diets but probably best not to. In short, neutering until there are none left. Shirley you could have worked that out for yourself...? Monsieur Pot meet Mr Kettle...

Agreed. My main concern is that the one interested party whose interests are not being effectively represented are Marcus'. If they were, he wouldn't be killed just to provide a life lesson.

Oh Christ, I'll bite. I do not believe for a second that this is a lesson in where our food comes from. This may be the naive belief of the head teacher (I don't know them) but all this does is to normalise the killing of animals for food. I appreciate that it is the behaviour of the majority...

Glasfryn (or anyone else). Does anyone know how many other people who attended the protests at Shoreham have kept a veggie/ vegan diet? I only ask as the number of people I encountered who had made a change to their diet but it was a few years ago now.

Seen her live many times. Always excellent. Her most recent album is also great.

Hants: I have read the propaganda from both sides. One can have the 'he said, she said' argument but it is not productive. I prefer to expose the arguments to logic and look beyond the hyperbole (I would hasten to add that I am not suggesting others haven't done likewise and reached different...

Personally, I don't want to be (ab)used by someone else in ways that are in their interest and not mine. Can't see any reason in logic why I should inflict similar on someone else...

You've got me on that! Etymologically speaking it is inexact but I take vivisection and animal experimentation to be synonyms as per common usage.

Interesting that you should ask. I'm just over halfway through. It appears to be taking forever.

Firstly, how can asking for proof of an assertion be obfuscating the question? I ask yet again for proof that animal research is so vital for medical research. The establishment claim that medical research is impossible without vivisection (or a variant thereof). Prove it! They made the...

The clue is in your statement: 'Animal research was USED in developing all of the following' What I am after is PROOF that this contributed to it. An awful lot of other things were used: water, glassware, general laboratory equipment, computers, and so on. Again I state, it is the controversial...
