Obviously the Titans aren't going to be replacing Joe Nedney anytime soon...

The only opinion I can come up with the recording industry is now more unpopular, but at the end of the day if File Sharing goes under, there is really little Joe Public can do but pour more into the recording industry's coffers.

:lol: Good one :thumbup:

Or at least a messy snack. But I've seen worse. Or said, to be precise. "Gee Voodraiss lah frit-es" (emphasis on the t in "frites") The wonders of tourism.

About a year and a half ago it cost me £1.10 for ~ 1 litre of milk. So, it's quite a bit more. In New Zealand fuel is cheaper than bottled water, so go figure :p Remember, of course, that there are a lot more costs for farming producers in the United Kingdom than in the U.S. And yes, food...

Perfect 10 :)

You make a reasonable point. However, surely if the percentage is an average, then algebra says that it is equal to the average of the food spending over the income x100? Though not an immutable law, I often think the higher the income the higher the costs.

Congratulations... :thumbup:

Sorry, not shorter than before but shorter in comparisons to Europeans. Unfortunately for your statements, growth is not necessarily hereditary. Junk food lacks the "bits" which a balanced diet has and which made us grow taller. So, the fact that Europeans spend more on healthier foods in...

Interest rates in the 1980s were 15%, and my parents paid £40,000 for their house. Remembering that 25-year mortgages were a rarity at this time, let alone the 50-year mortgages now, being forced to pay £46,000 in a short period while average income was but a fraction of what it is now, it is...

Again, refer back to my 1800s Ireland example. Back in the early-mid 1900s, diet was "good" (i.e. nobody could even fathom obesity). Now, with the advent of junk food, and social changes the average USer is shorter. It is impossible to say junk food is good for you. Having said this, during...

I will also add that 5' 10" is below the average height here in New Zealand.

Anomolies do exist. For instance, take Ireland during the 1800s, the average income would be quite respectable. Take away the gentry (but 1% of the populace), the average income would be pitiful. It's a common problem with using the mean as the average. The problem I have with your statements...

I know you didn't mean that, and it was a joke, but it justified a common anti-american stereotype among other people. Sorry if you took it the wrong way.

Also all you've proven is that you have a lot of Hispanics immigrating into the US. You haven't, on the other hand, disproven the fact that junk food leads to lacking height. You also haen't explained an alternative reason to why Americans are getting shorter. I know of someone who is the...

I don't live in Europe. But I can assure you after seeing my parents struggle to make ends meet while paying off a mortgage in the 1980s, it's not much better, just income has risen. It is very expensive.

:lol: How can income be irrelevant when the entire point of that survey was food spending over dispoible income?
