Resolved Question: Can you tell me what a Lory is?
I was just going to ask What is a Lory, but yahoo answers wanted the question to be longer, so I had to awkwardly rephrase it.
Anyway...
I hear about these things when I watch the BBC. I'm from Canada, and am not really sure what one is. I know the Queen drove one during the war. Is it a bus, an ambulance, or something else?

Voting Question: Can somebody help me condense this letter?
I have been set a college assignment: I have to write a letter, fictionally, to the BBC, stating my opinion regarding development in music technology. The thing is, my tutor says it's too long! Help! Here it is...
Letter to The BBC
Dear Editor
I am writing to share my opinions regarding the development of portable music technology throughout the second half of the 20th century, and so far throughout the 21st. It would be of great interest to me, to discover whether any of your other readers share my views.
We have, as a nation, witnessed the development of numerous portable audio players, and it seems that each new concept is much more complex than the one before it. It is only when we compare the ideas which were developed in the 1980?s and 1990?s, to the devices which are available in the modern day, that we can truly appreciate the process of utilising new technology to produce devices of a higher sound quality and durability than the devices developed in these earlier times.
The personal stereo, which was introduced in 1979, was the first portable audio system available for purchase. The personal stereo enabled an individual to listen to a cassette tape via a pair of headphones. This meant that music could be listened to in a public place, supposedly without disturbing others. (I say supposedly because, should the music be playing at a very high volume through the headphones, complete isolation of the sound would be lost.) The individual could create compilations of cassette tapes to listen to, by recording tracks from a record, or another cassette, according to his own personal preference.
The portable cassette player was criticised by some, owing to the fact that it was not compatible with 8-track tapes. However, it was argued that cassette tapes were much more suitable for a device such as this, as they were much smaller and compact.
Portable CD players became predominant during the 1990?s. These devices enabled the user to listen to CD?s while on the move. CD?s were preferred by many, as cassette tapes had a tendency to snap, or become otherwise damaged, while they were being transported from place to place. As CD?s are more durable than cassette tapes, the possibility of damage was reduced.
However, unlike cassette tapes, CD?s could be easily scratched, which would affect the sound quality of the music. Furthermore, vigorous movement, such as jogging, running for a bus, or even a bumpy car journey, would cause the CD to ?jump?- something which would not occur with a cassette tape. For this reason, personal cassette players remained popular during the 1990?s/
Manufacturers offered a solution to the limitations of the CD in the form of the MiniDisc player. This digital device used recordable CD?s and had various advantages to the personal CD player, including the fact that it was more compact, and the user could move around without the sound quality being affected. The Minidisc could not be easily damaged, due to the fact that it was contained in a protective plastic case.
Obtaining pre-recorded albums on Minidisc format, however, was very difficult. Therefore, if the user did not own a MiniDics recorder, his choice of music was limited. For this reason, although this format received some interest, it was never very popular.
The first Digital Audio Players, also known as DAP?s, became available in 1998. These devices contained a miniature hard-drive in which music tracks could be stored. Solid state storage enables the device to hold much more information than a CD or a cassette, and as a result, the hard drive can store many albums, and sometimes thousands of tracks.
These devices are extremely light and durable. They can be transported inside a pocket or the smallest of bags. It is possible for the owner to create playlists according to his own personal preference- not unlike the cassette player, but much more convenient. The shuffle, skip, search and random features of a personal CD player are available on this device, and there are no CD?s or cassettes to become scratched or damage.
The main disadvantage of these devices is that, to transfer music to the device, the individual requires access to a computer. Even in these modern times, not everyone owns a computer, and the procedure itself can seem complicated to those who are not confident on a computer. Also, the device runs the risk of becoming damaged by things such as magnets, water, sunlight, etc- just the same as earlier devices. Also, as the device is so small, it is more easily lost than its larger, more prominent ancestors.
So there we have it; a brief history in the development of portable audio devices. Every individual has his preference. Personally, I am the proud owner of an Ipod Nano- and a Sony personal cassette player! For this reason, the following comments may seem strange, if not total nonsense. So here goes?

Resolved Question: I want to go to Thailand in a few days... ?
I was supposed to go TODAY, but due to protesters and all that, it's been shifted to the 8th. And even then, we don't know if we can go.
But seeing as the protesters have agreed to leave the airports and everything seems normal, we should be able to go, right?
I know it's going to take much longer for them to clean up, but we should be able to fly to a different location - perhaps Utapao - and get a bus to take us to Bangkok from there, right?
Apparently flights will resume after 4th Dec at 12 midnight.I heard it on BBC World News.

Voting Question: Part 2..Why this pervasive dark mutterings of hopelessness of a future black Prime Minister in Britain?
Greg Dyke, a scion of the true Brit, an incorrigible Establishment hand and former honcho of BBC once indicted the world famous broadcasting station of being hideously white. Dyke forgot to mention also that the corporation had gone Asian. In the BBC, blacks are invisible as newsreaders and presenters. They are unwanted as producers, reporters and editors of news. But blacks are in the backroom as cooks in the canteen, cleaners and delivery ?boys?. Few miles from BBC?s White City?s head office is the House of Commons. If BBC is hideously white, the British parliament is obscenely more so and shamelessly racist and patriarchal. British parliament is a treacherous, white dominated enclave. Of the 600 MPs, only 15 are non white. Permit me to say that I hate the term ethnic minority.the higher you peep into its greasy hierarchical pole, the whiter it becomes.There are no Collin Powells in the British Army. No Condoleezza Rice in its Foreign Service. Another English peculiar mess!
For the past decade the Sunday Times has not featured a single black millionaire in its April Rich List edition. Here there is no P-Diddy, Beyonce, Michael Jackson, Oprah Winfrey, Samuel L Jackson, Jay-Zee and Stevie Wonder. There is dearth of black faces in business, politics, law, medicine, pharmacy, entertainment, film and banking. There is no quickening in British soul. It is not a place where an area boy can emerge as head of the London Underground in 20 years. But in America an area boy with gut could remake himself and head the New York Metro in 20 years. Britain is a gradualist and deeply racist society with deeply entrenched consciousness of Europeanism and hierarchy rather than assimilation and oneness. Here you are still judge by the colour of your skin for higher posts.
When America embraces unifying patriotism, Britain celebrates fragmented nationalism. Perceived as outsiders, millions of non white British people still find comfort in their countries of origin. This loyalty has been tested in cricket and football matches. For instance, British born and bred Jamaicans are naturally disposed to support their home cricket team when pitted against the British team. The same sentiment resides in British born Pakistani,s when they meets the England Criket team. The Norman Tebitt?s prognosis of immigrant natural bias here finds self fulfilment! Can you still see Englishman?s peculiar mess?For blacks, Britain is not a place of the big dream. General Collin Powell, former US Secretary of State, once said that he was lucky that the ship that transplanted his great, great, grand parents did not drop anchor in Liverpool. His prescient was right. He must have seen the present state of black British and their backwardness and immobility. For him to have been born here, according to his reckoning, he would have become a bus driver! Unlike America, Britain is not a melting pot. Britain is still European in temper, attitude and projections. Blacks in Britain are still wetbacks on plantation reserve eking out living as office cleaners, bus drivers, parcel couriers, site security officers, cab drivers, hospital porters, rubbish clearers, boiler technicians, night train cleaners, receptionists, janitors, akiri ja number- night traffic warders, CCTV manipulators, hairdressers, barbers, doormen and nightclub in-toilet serviette dispensers. The City where the high flying jobs are aplenty are reserved for the well heeled, well connected, well jawed spoilt brats using social network and class to full advantage. It is no secret that the English have difficulty believing that black people can be clever, intelligent, middle class and patriotic. They have given up hope of ever seeing our Shakespeare, Beethoven and Thomas Addison.

Resolved Question: Is anyone else sad about Russell Brand?
I am going to miss that radio show so much, every wednesday i looked forward to getting the podcast and listening to it before I fell asleep, and it kept me entertained on long plane, bus, car journeys. I was so disapointed when Russell resigned. The whole situation was blown out of proportion, the woman is in a dancing troup called the satanic sluts for god's sake! The BBC handled it really badly. I'm praying that Ponderland isn't pulled, I don't see why it would be since it's channel 4. Anyway I thought that the stuff Jonathon Ross said was worse. All in all it wasn't nice but everyone makes mistakes and I hope Russell's career isn't damaged too badly.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4003063.stm

I mean ok i live for a thousand years but that means I have to get hit by a bus in some point in my future? wtf.....

Resolved Question: What do you think of the upcoming Richard Dawkins bus signs?
On London buses there have been bible quotes for a while, such as "When the son of man comes, will he find faith on the earth?".
Now, as a response, Richard Dawkins has funded a counter to this. At first The British Humanist Association struggled to get the money, but as quoted by BBC News:
The BHA planned only to raise £5,500, which was to be matched by Professor Dawkins, but it has now raised more than £36,000 of its own accord.
The quote will read: "There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life."
What do you think? A good attempt at countering Christian "propaganda" as a joke, or a serious message from atheists to get people to think, both, or a major mistake on Dawkins' part, to encourage this behaviour?
NB this isn't a flame; it's just getting different views from different religions!
Sean F: What about Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, and the other non-Christian religions that AREN'T quoted on London buses?!
Belle: I've been in London every weekend for the last 4 months, and I've seen countless Christian / Alpha Course statements on buses!
