About the compulsary voting thing - if they have a blank vote option, then that's actually pretty cool, because if you don't like the candidates you can vote for noone - you make the effort to go to the voting booth and then vote for noone - you can't be accused of apathy and in fact it can be a form of protest. I like it.

That reminds me of a funny story my wife told me - in her hometown there is a mental home and one of the 'guests' is a drug dealer who was running away from the cops and hid his stash of liquid LSD under his hat as he escaped. The bottle leaked, drenching his head in the halluconogen and to this day he thinks that he is a glass of Orange Juice. If you touch him he starts screaming because you might spill him.

Anyway, I hate travelling to work on the underground. It's cramped, hot, and always delayed. Plus I heard that it's so dirty down there that an avaerage journey is equivalent to smoking 5 cigarettes. And I don't smoke, so that pisses me off.

To be honest, I don't remember that. But I do remember Aslan being a wise and kindly lion who occasionally roared, rather than a CGI lion who roars constantly.

Kev, the dark tower rings a bell but I can't remember any details.

Chalts, what is legally an adult in America? 18? And what exactly can you do at 18 that you can't do when you're seventeen? I'm English and here it's 16 to smoke, gamble, have sex, move out on your own and quit school if you want, and basically be an adult (sign contracts, etc, etc) and it's 18 to drink and vote. Of course, thiese age limits really mean nothing beacuse everybody does most of these things waaaayy before the legal age.
