<r>Do you think it was worth it to have done the implants in the first place? Absolutely NOT. If I wanted a plastic woman I'd buy a blow-up one that doesn't answer back! :sneaky: Ok, I know all this female concern with their appearance is because men (shallow, dick led cr...

spot eagerly puts his hand up, quails at the sight of so many frowns turned toward him and shuffles quietly out of the thread before someone starts throwing stones

So THAT's what's in the squishy packages they pass around in Royston Vasey!

<t>No they all have great sense of humors. They play tricks on me too. My mom called me one year and told me she was in the hospital cause she had to have emegency surgery & she might not pull through. My husband has told me that he has another girlffriend & he wants t...

<t>Galbally: Fortunately the nice ones outnumber the nasty by a large majority. Actually, I do have a positive feeling about Anglo-French relations - but you won't see it in the Press generally and the Murdoch Press in particular. They seem determined to keep Britain out of Europe, and I ...

Chuckle. Hi BobStew. It's rather nice, isn't it, being met by a horde of gorgeous girls when you turn up! Course, it happens to me all the time...

Sorry....:-3

Clodhopper

<t>Jester: If I said to you, given the row we've been having, that I was considering killing you, but on the whole I'd decided to let you live - at least for the moment - how would you react? Bear in mind that I have read your posts about killing on other threads. It is possibl...

<t>RedGlitter: The shock of that moment is still with me and I want it to stay. I remember how my eyes tracked what her hands were doing as she cut the roses and how the numbers appeared as she reached slightly forward. I don't recall what I was saying at that moment, but my words stopped as if she'...

Can just picture it!

Clodhopper

<t>Wow, I dont think anyones ever called me a liar and a hell bent demon in one sentence before and lived to tell about it another day. I think I'll do the christian thing here and spare your life. At least that way you can say that I did show some mercy in my lifetime. (My emphasis...

Dear AussiePam, you have nothing to apologise for! It weren't you - but in the same vein, let me apologise for the English. There. :-4

Clodhopper

<r>Good poem! Thanks Immy. I should warn you though that encouragement of that sort means I'm likely to post another one tomorrow! Oh and btw, have you really thought your name through? Doesn't the rhyme go, "Seek for the sword that was broken/ In Imladris it dwells..." :...

Clodhopper

Galbally, AussiePam: Um, I never used the word "hate". Please don't be annoyed, but isn't it interesting that you thought I had?

Clodhopper

<t>Galbally: "Hate" is generally overstating it - though you have to wonder sometimes! My brother - a doctor and at the time rock climber - was in one of the countries in these islands with a friend who spoke the language who explained how the group behind them was discussing how they'd like to knif...

AUGH! :wah::wah::wah:

Jimbo, sometimes reading your posts is just punnishment..

Hilarious story Chezzie. Did feel sorry for the dog, though.

Clodhopper

<t>It used to be said of the English and the French that the political elites actually rather admired eachother but the masses despised eachother with a passion. That may have been true in the past but certainly in regard to some of us it's been breaking down more recently. The case I know of is in ...

<t>JAB: I ended up graduating in English Literature, but it was touch and go whether it would be History. I am aware of the English Civil War and the 30 Years War in Europe. Both sides claimed the other was the enemy of God, and from there it's but a short step to atrocity. Both sides pitched in wit...

<t>I reject the Creation myth as factual truth. The science says it isn't true. Your position on this issue makes your opinions in general suspect. I am aware that nothing anyone says on the issue will change your mind, which seems entirely closed. Best of luck, but I'm simply not interested in your...

Clodhopper

<t>I think the secret protocols of the Nazi/Soviet pact were a naked land grab. I've always been very sorry we were simply not strong enough at the end of WW2 to obtain the freedom of the Poles. I think the seizure of the Baltic States (combined population approx ten people) was unnecessary for the ...

Clodhopper

<t>Hmm. We'll have to disagree about Poland (and indeed Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania, which are hard to see as threats to the USSR). So it's ok in your book to kill as many of your own people as you like? Crumbs. Don't think I'll be voting for you in the upcoming Greater London Authority...

<t>Jimbo: Sympathy. I've been there, or somewhere like it. Lost wife, career and what little self respect I'd managed to develop. I think Chezzie's advice is very good - one step at a time. You must have some idea what the issues in your life are. If you can identify one small thing that ...

<t>Dear Ted, I've very much admired the patience and scholarship with which you've responded to Jester's posts. Jester, I know you believe what you believe sincerely but your arguments seem weak to me and you give the impression of ducking issues you can't deal with - eg why homosexualit...

"I'm a tart with a heart," she thought, "And ole Duck needs a ...friendly chat."

Clodhopper

<t>Yes a lot of people died in both instances. What's left is completely transformed as a consequence. It's not at all obvious to me why the net result is to be disparaged. Um, in part at least, because a lot of people died in both instances. I find the whole thing ...

Clodhopper

<t>As a sort of addendum to this debate, I've been wondering if one of the reasons Creationism is so popular in the USA is at least in part due to its relatively recent occupation by humans. I've just finished a lot of work on my garden, which involved digging down a metre or so in places...

<t>Jester: My initial reply is on your voting thread. Will come back to this when brain shows signs of functioning, but IF you belive God created the world in 7 days in 4004 BC or whatever Bishop Ussher came up with AND say Jesus shouldn't always be taken literally we're going have further disagreem...

<t>I have a suspicion that in 100 years (if civilisation hasn't drowned by then) historians will look on the Bush family Administrations as the ones responsible for the collapse of American power and prosperity. It could really be that serious. I half-heard a report a year or so ago sayin...

<t>Accountable: chuckle. They way I think of the political spectrum is to imagine a ring with a cut through it at one point. Opposite the cut is what I would call moderate liberalism. On one side of the cut is Fascism, on the other side is Communism. Fascism and Communism are so close together they ...
