Just by Radiohead

The compelling part of the music video... Why is he lying on the pavement? ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 10:43, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's open to interpretation. The video deliberately does not give an answer. See Just (Radiohead_song)#Music_video. I've always wondered if it's possible to lipread what he says at the end, but no-one has managed to do it to the best of my knowledge. --Viennese Waltz 12:10, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry but we can't offer legal advice, so we can't give specific information to help your friend's case. You or he should contact someone who deals with immigration issues - the college may be able to point you in the right direction. - Cucumber Mike (talk) 12:47, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not legal advice but common sense. At this site there is a "click to enter" button where you or your friend can send a message to the Colombian consulate for advice. Good luck. Richard Avery (talk) 16:17, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As well as the college and the consulate, the Citizens' Advice Bureau offers help to everyone, not just citizens. Your friend might want to visit his local Citizens' Advice Bureau (CAB), or at least look at this website: Citizens' Advice Bureau 'Advice Guide'. 86.129.248.199 (talk) 18:09, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why not try the UK Immigration Service? They should be able to help. KägeTorä - (影虎) (TALK) 06:58, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Laundry detergent sheets

173.26.104.42 (talk) 17:11, 1 March 2013 (UTC) ADvertised on TV today (Eskimo brand?); Application described as used in lieu of liquid detergents; benefits to old people who can no longer can lift heavy detergent bottles. Request assistance in locating more information on this subject. Best Regards. allan c. griffiths.[reply]

They used to be offered under the Purex brand, but now they put it into a small packet instead. It still serves the same purpose, though: [1]. Of course, another, more economical solution is to have somebody pour the large bottles of detergent into smaller, more manageable bottles. I do this myself with bleach. (In my case, it's not so much the weight, as not wanting to have it slosh/splash out, which it's likely to do in a large bottle.) StuRat (talk) 17:49, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think an interesting question concerns the pros and cons of powdered versus liquid laundry detergent. Here is a little information on that. Concerning powdered, you don't have to lift the container each time you need to scoop out a measure of detergent. Bus stop (talk) 18:11, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And they can't mess with concentration by diluting with water (although I suppose they can still dilute with something like salt). However, the powder has an amazing talent for finding a place to hide, like the top of the agitator, only coming off in the final spin, thus leaving your clothes speckled with powder. StuRat (talk) 18:20, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To the OP, maybe you can find a pump action dispenser that will fit the top of the liquid detergent bottle, or one that comes with a bottle that you can top up with liquid detergent. --TammyMoet (talk) 10:54, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a article in vogue magazine featuring Mtherapy? I would like to have a copy or a link where I can view the article.

You might want to try your request at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Resource_Exchange/Resource_Request, but also be more specific (date of publication, or volume and issue numbers, for example) --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 19:17, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Saw a post on fordf150.net that says four. Not a technical guide by any means, but car owners' forums are usually the quickest/easiest source of this kind of info. Foofish (talk) 20:39, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
