Sinchronicity
''Sinchronicity'' is a six-part comedy-drama series broadcast on BBC Three in the United Kingdom in summer 2006. Set in Manchester, the programme is narrated by Nathan ( Paul Chequer) and focuses on the love triangle of him, Fi (Jemima Rooper), and Jase (Daniel Percival). The programme is executive produced by Julian Murphy, who was an executive producer on Channel 4's '' As If'' and '' Sugar Rush'' and Sky One's '' Hex''. Stylistically similar to ''As If'', following a non-linear narrative, it also features ex-cast members Chequer, Rooper and Mark Smith and, as such, can be seen as its spiritual successor. ''Sinchronicity'' was part of BBC Three's aim to divert from programming with a parenting theme, and aimed at viewers in their mid-20s to mid-30s "for whom parenthood is the farthest thing from their minds". The theme tune is "Boys Will Be Boys" by the Ordinary Boys. The show was filmed in high definition and was re-run on BBC HD in October 2006. Cast *Nathan ( Paul C ...

Personal Identification Number
A personal identification number (PIN; sometimes RAS syndrome, redundantly a PIN code or PIN number) is a numeric (sometimes alpha-numeric) passcode used in the process of authenticating a user accessing a system. The PIN has been the key to facilitating the private data exchange between different data-processing centers in computer networks for financial institutions, governments, and enterprises. PINs may be used to authenticate banking systems with cardholders, governments with citizens, enterprises with employees, and computers with users, among other uses. In common usage, PINs are used in ATM or PO transactions, secure access control (e.g. computer access, door access, car access), internet transactions, or to log into a restricted website.

Blowjob
Fellatio (also known as fellation, and in slang as blowjob, BJ, giving head, or sucking off) is an oral sex act consisting of the stimulation of a penis by using the mouth. Oral stimulation of the scrotum may also be termed ''fellatio'', or colloquially as ''teabagging''. It may be performed by a sexual partner as foreplay before other sexual activities, such as vaginal or anal intercourse, or as an erotic and physically intimate act of its own. Fellatio creates a risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections (STIs), but the risk is significantly lower than that of vaginal or anal sex, especially for HIV transmission. Most countries do not have laws banning the practice of fellatio, though some cultures may consider it taboo. People may also refrain from engaging in fellatio due to personal preference, negative feelings, or sexual inhibitions. Commonly, people do not view oral sex as affecting the virginity of either partner, though opinions on the matter vary.Sehere an ...
