Its in this soldiers will to have the second verse included at my funeral. This is the first time I've seen it done in any public place. Thank you.

There is a second omitted verse. It reads:

"I heard my country calling, away across the sea,

Across the waste of waters she calls and calls to me.

Her sword is girded at her side, her helmet on her head,

And round her feet are lying the dying and the dead.

I hear the noise of battle, the thunder...

@linzelj no argument here.

Awesome! Just one point to add:

I heard my country calling, away across the sea, Across the waste of waters she calls and calls to me. Her sword is girded at her side, her helmet on her head, And round her feet are lying the dying and the dead. I hear the noise of battle, the thunder of her guns,...

@WhiteStarOrion What a load of bullshit. Its sick that anyone would take out a verse recognizing those that fought and died in places far, far away from home. Governments who make decisions like this would do well to remember who it was that sent them there in the first place.

screw you, Tf00t, if you don't think that the valiant among us will be lead by wotan across the rainbow to Vallhala.

At risk of being that guy, the tacit understanding is that it will all even out in the end. The balance of change doesn't matter as long as one doesn't always end up being on one end or the other of the transaction. David Mitchell's "at risk for OCD" rant is funny, but shit, it's only money and y...

@jettrooper3rd Firing it, and Its a GPMG.

@lyingstudent there's always the daily mail...Its bad when I can compare a uk tabloid to a major market american news organization.

Using satire to address social ills ? The horror

I feel just a little sick from watching this.

Good review! The point may have been lost on me because, since you showed it, I've been thinking more about going out and grabbing a Duvel than I have about knives.

Not only is this not top gear, its got an obnoxious affront to dick dale for a soundtrack.

@CreativeImpulse For me the test of this piece is always the chorale. This might be better than my DG or Berlin Philharmonic versions.

Shit's almost inevitable given the nature of the job

Orwell explained it as: "men can only be highly civilized while other men, inevitably less civilized, are there to guard and feed them"

So you sum up and carry on and make your personal outlook something more like this: "I have neither the t...

We, the west, owe Britain the beginnings of the idea that individual liberty is sacred. We also owe them the export of western culture. Though it is unpopular to say so and though it may cost us dearly, the export of western ideals has been and may, through our efforts, continue to be a force for...

Thanks for uploading, any chance you have the title track?

I've always wondered about doing a "science experiment" where A child was isolated and raised strictly according to the teachings of any of the abrahamic holy texts, the intent being to find out what the moral compass such an individual would look like.

The problem here is that my atheist moral...

I didn't have anything available to make violet syrup so I substituted some home-made orgeat. It was so good that I served it to some holiday guests (even if I stuck to sazeracs myself). It went over great. I'm going to have to keep my eyes open for violet candy now.

Yes I'd eat a bunny. Cute animals are tasty too. Actually that looked kinda good... you know for a side dish

I use arctic candles in snow shelters frequently. Between a few bodies and a candle the things warm up very well (temperature differential up to 35-40 degrees C.)

As a point, I'd almost never scrape the ground bare of snow conduction will suck the heat our of you, and snow is a better insulator ...

@Mirroga Point well made, however, strictly speaking a lot of the things you mention are "organic". This other unscientific definition of the word is nearly useless.

Not to ever suggest that Stephen could have done more with English, but I was expecting Alan to be introduced as "where am I" for the sake of consonance and measure.

@The95superfly Wasn't even a glint in my fathers eye in 65. Fully agree though. Tunes might still be catchy but the lyrics and subject matter are meaningless.

Can't even imagine how many people this song has helped...named my sailboat silvergirl because of it...
