Slave to the Grave

According to Jimh's excellent link, St Sebastian is the patron saint of 'Enemies of Religion' which I suppose makes him the patron site of Atheists, sort of.

Perhaps we need to get a sewar flietr.

Eileen, you're starting to scare me haha!, are you in fact Tammy Faye haha!

Do you realize Eileen that your time on this Forum has been well spent, you're already an assassin and if you carry on posting at this rate, you'll be an executioner by the end of the week. The Lord truly works in mysterious ways

Eileen, I have quite enjoyed reading the above posts, and I can understand the frustration you must feel corresponding with people who do not believe in the same things as you, and not being able to change their minds. It is also difficult to have your absolute belief in something challenged. My children are coming up to that age where the existence of 'Papa Noel' is starting to be questioned and I am quite sad about this. Robert Ingersoll puts it much better than I ever could........ 'When I became convinced that the universe is natural – that all ghosts and gods are myths, there entered into my brain . . . the joy of freedom. . . . I was free – free to think, to express my thoughts . . . free to live for myself and those I loved . . . free to investigate, to guess and dream and hope . . . free to reject all ignorant and cruel creeds, all the ‘inspired’ books that savages have produced . . . free from popes and priests . . . free from sanctified mistakes and holy lies . . . free from the fear of eternal pain . . . free from devils, ghosts and gods. . . . There were no prohibited places in all the realms of thought . . . no following another’s steps . . . no need to bow, or cringe, or crawl, or utter lying words.' P.S. having said all the above, the irony of the user name 'Slave to the Grave' is not lost on me.

Oh well, you're in good company, in the immortal words of Groucho Marx: "I don't care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as a member"

I think that honour goes to 'she of the shaking head' (8.31 feb 7) who most definately had the last word. Until of course EX-RIGGI started it all off again. tut tut tut.

Isn't 'playing the banjo' a girl thing?

If you can't sleep...

I don't think Honez was criticising your typing abilities Mr Josco.

Sounds like a bad idea to me. One of the really good things about this site is the absence of live chat.

He's Cured! Nice to see the Popemobile getting an airing.

Mr Josco!!!

Amanda I had a similar thing with my car and it turned out to be a loose exhaust pipe - it was rattling against the bottom of the car and was particularly bad when the car was loaded down with people, luggage etc. It was a real grinding noise which I too thought was the suspension but happily it was very cheap and easy to fix. But, keeping it topical, if it is your suspension, perhaps we could put your car on next year's list, then we can melt it down to make some more armour for Weatherman.

Is that a bit like tromboning?

I would imagine that by now, he's probably moved up the food chain via the early bird.

I think that was Bam Bam Rubble, obviously a popular name.

Perhaps its shame about the Runescape fletching revelations. (Sadly, I can't remember which thread).

Yes it seems he had an eccentric family. His father was apparently a drinker and gambler who finally drove his fed-up mother into the arms of 'uncle' Evelyn, a lesbian with an enormous house. The young Patrick went to live with his mother and her new friend and was made to wear kilts until he was 11 years old (I don't think he was actually brought up as a girl). He seems quite fit and well as far as I can gather and is, according to his website, actively pursuing personal interests: 'In his spare time Patrick enjoys bird-watching, desert reclamation, and preventing terrorism! (He received an award from the Bureau of Federal Aviation for preventing terrorism on aircraft). ' Obviously still thinks he's in the Avengers then.

This part should give the Vatican particular cause for concern (bearing in mind the discussion on clowns in another thread): 'On Friday, two people turned up as clowns. "We're from the Medical Association of Smiles," they said. "We want to let the Pope know we care." ' Scary

Look. This forum is a discussion board which is open enough to allow comment from non-registered members. If you wish to make a contribution, no-one is going to stop you, provided that the focus of the contribution is the subject of the thread and isn't a rant (see, for example, above quote). If you disagree at a fundamental level with this site, then I'd advise you to stay away and use your time more productively. On the other hand, if you'd like to contribute to the debate in a positive manner with (from what I've found) some pretty smart and well informed people, then you are most welcome. Thank you for providing me with material for my 100th post. Hear! hear! LPIII

According to this article, he seems to have shed some bulk.

Malcolm Hardee, criminal turned genital contortionist. Personally, I'd never heard of him. Apparently he founded the Greatest Show on Legs Balloon Dance Troupe and used his genitals to do an impersonation of Charles de Gaulle.

So very very true, although some will always be more stupid than others. This is how it was, is and always will be, and long may it continue. After all one of the joys of being young is not being old. As good old Lev Trotsky once said 'Old age is the most unexpected of all the things that happen to a man' (or woman I assume). Anyway I'm off now to join the ever growing queue at the Post Office.
