Dammit Janet! Why does my intercontinental ballistic trebuchet targetting and firing loom keep jamming? And why does the ammunition keep biting back?

That's something that is way overdue. A highly reliable, computer controlled and aimed intercontinental trebuchet.

Sadly, some can suffer very badly from depression. It can go both ways (and the consequences for the child may not be particularly pleasant).

No. I have a couple of friends who can have sex, but cannot become parents. And, before anyone jumps to the wrong conclusion on the point I'm making here, I'm talking about heterosexual couples.

Here, here! Something that is WAAAAY overdue here in the UK is a bit of respect for the truely horrible job over drugs that NICE have been tasked with doing. I can't think of a better definition of a thankless task.

I hope you mean the same result given the same votes... (Actually, I wonder if for anything other than a purely electronic system -- which makes me somewhat nervous -- exactly the same result is a sign of tampering?)
