Good luck tazzymtb. I know a bit how you feel. My partner suffers anxiety depression and I think is just about to be made unemployed (been off work since last July) unless he returns. I must admit that I am scared to death of thinking the next 30 years of my life will be filled with running around after him and never knowing happiness again; it’s been like this for years. Love is there but I feel more of a carer than a partner. I Just hope things may improve once his job situation is sorted/fixed.

I wish you the best. Get out on your bike, see your lad and enjoy life. Look forward: no regrets in that direction! 😀

My neighbour is having his house extended, but it was all done kosher, we received a letter months ago from the council planning people. They’re a nice couple and he’s cute so all I can do is blush & smile anyway. 😀

Never put the data into a format you can’t be sure you will be able to get your data out of in the future. Things change.

Save as word by all means but also save as text too, in case you can’t fire up the right version of word in the distant future.

Personally I’d make multiple copies – put a nice blog up, save as HTML/text/word thus keeping a backup on your PC and also online.

Also remember that CDs/DVDs degrade.

Scan your images at the highest resolution you can (disk/time!) ready for the future, you can always copy & ‘downgrade’ them for use. Save as TIFF then have JPEG versions about. Also scan the book as that would be a nice nostalgic bit.

Just my 2p.

Half those dancing in the streets were not even born during the good bit of her influence.

That may be true, together with the other half eulogising her not even being born during her influence.

Which “good bit” was that? The leaving of Downing Street?

Years ago I worked in an office with someone who lived in London (worked in Swindon). He wouldn’t go back home each day but live in his car all week.

By Friday all the windows were open (sod datacentre security, it *reeked*) as he was most pungent. And he’d leave his Y-fronts on the back seat of his car drying after washing them in the loo sink. And his car was full of cigarette burn marks.

Eww.

-She voted for some very progressive policies such as making homosexuality legal, she was one of very few tories who voted for this

Decriminalisation of homosexuality was a bill put forward in 1967. She entered parliament in 1968. I don’t see how this can be true, though I am willing to be corrected.

She also brought forward Section 28 based on the usual Daily Mail hatred, as a sop to them during the first years of the AIDS epidemic. This, and how the tories have acted thereafter with regards to gay issues, means I will never, ever, vote for them. They’re a party of hate.

I will not be glad about her passing, but neither will I even consider mourning. She was an old woman, she is now dead. Unfortunately it happens.

Any attempt at work or something to have a ‘minutes silence’ will be met, however, with vuvuzelas and the birdy song.

I will raise a glass, however, to friends from the eighties (yes, I was there in 70s/80s) who suffered so much.

I’m still wondering about “run you clever boy and remember” if it has any further implications…

Heard that Waitrose do some but they are comparable price an not that brilliant tbh.

Search for cafe pods.

I ride round there every few months. A couple of years ago the same thing was found at Pines.

Reminds me that I must convert to tubeless soon..

Must be those thighs. Good looking bloke though, so I can relate to why Hora wants to be full of him.

As an aside an interesting website is Godchecker[/url] which lists all known gods/demons/supernatural stuff. It’s fascinating, learning about ancient gods/mythology from all over the world.

You mean he forced his creation to have free will? 😀

What about Matthew 5:17?

“Do not think I came to abolish the Law but to fulfil it.”

I guess you could say he said “I come to end that and now follow this.”

That’s the problem, too many inconsistencies. If it was written by the creator of the universe s/he did a pretty poor job.

But then again the story of this particular prophet is seen in many other tales, such as Mithras, and others. Perhaps a good story to live by, keeping in mind that it was based on desert nomads’ stories.

Is that a lazy slur? I don’t think so. Such people exist. I’m not judging. Sheesh.

These are few and far between. Even Dawkins isn’t that – the only logical case is agnostic theism/atheism (I’m not sure but I think god does exist/doesn’t exist).

Aggressive theism: kill people.
Aggressive atheism: write a strongly worded letter to the local paper.

Gnostic theism/atheism is where the problem lies, and it is mainly on the former.

Fantastic weekend:

3 days at Afan, doing Whites/W2/Wall/(bits of)Skyline and watching the 4X (kayak23 you can see some of me mates on the right of your photo).

Then off to Cwmcarn yesterday for a blast which was absoeffinglutely brilliant.

All aided by training given by Jedi too! 😀

Is that the one with all the naked fit blokes?

If so, I’ll have to, err, get a couple of box sets. You know, in case the first ones wear out! 😀

Due to be in Afan …

I used to hate it, now I simply turn it off when they start/can’t be bothered with it. If anything they should either allow humanists to have a thought for the day or simply rename it ‘Religious Thought for the Day’. And if you’re going to keep it religious allow all religions a chance. It would be interesting to get the Jedi (not ukbikeskills, though I don’t know..) point of view, or scientology or devil worshippers etc.

Perhaps put klaxons before and after it too.

It’s not yours, so hand it back (theft by finding). If the owner is embarrassed then that’s his/her problem.

Take a copy of the stuff, natch, then blackmail in the future… 😈

Who are they? Are they cold? They should put something on, they’ll catch their death!

Mate of mine got married and after a year found his wife had racked up debts of £180,000 on online bingo and the like. He was not skint but it completely wiped him out and he ended up with a loan of £25k to finish it off.

She went back to gambling after promising to go to gamblers anonymous and he’s now single again…

OP – I’d gently enquire where the money went. Make sure it wasn’t anything like this.

I always thought that ‘Adam’ is a good name for a girl.

I’d name my child Adam, if I were you.

Look into the eyes, not around the eyes….!

I chose my own name; I added Adam in 1992 when I was 26 and moved to Nottingham; clean break.

Just fancied it. Though I am still called by both of my other names: Charlie and the-one-I-don’t-really-like. 😀

A few:

Excelsior (given to me by a chap when I was 13)
Don’t think it, do it.
Life’s too short for cheap red wine.

Awwww puppy!

Awww.

Oh, did you ask something?

Awww, puppy! 😀

Every Yorkshireman I know starts every conversation with “Now then!”

PS3

Now been on Skyrim for over 120 hours since Chrimble.
Played Mass Effect 3 to death but love the multiplayer so will be on it at the weekend (also just got DLC ‘Citadel’)

Contact Cy/Paul and see if they’ll send you one or sell you one.

Next big crash? Me, Sherwood Pines, Sunday.

Did he ‘call his boss’ after you initially told him to do one? I have had two here I’ve had to throw out.

I found a local firm who came round and then wrote me a letter with a quote in it, no hard sales. Price was OK, reviews OK so they get all my trade now as I replace each window.

Although her life was long and placid,
She added water to the acid.
She didn’t do what she should oughta,
That’s adding acid to the water.

Not compass but still kinda good for this ageing chemist.

When I first turned up in Nottingham (1992) I was inundated each Saturday in the city by young people giving me cards for nightclubs.

Now they either don’t acknowledge my existence or run away!

You need reading glasses… 😥

EDIT: yes, with a string on them.

That said, the very premise of the Bible is that God is a given. Not so much that God exists, but that he is a given. The shared worldview of the human race until very recently was that there was a divine reality beyond the material reality of our empirical experience. The Bible calls this ‘God’ or ‘Yahweh’ and later, ‘Jesus’. Native North Americans call this ‘Manitou’, Hindus call it ‘Brahma’ or ‘Krishna’ (or whomever), Muslims ‘Allah’, etc., etc. Few, if any, of these traditions are traditionally interested in ‘proving’ the existence of divine reality, since the idea of proof is something not normally applied to such things. It is medieval Scholasticism that begins to talk in terms of proofs for God’s existence, and subsequent philosophical inquiry never entirely gives up on the question.

To be honest this is a massive leap. Equating all gods to a single ‘god’, usually Abrahamic.

Hmm. No answer. Better start at the (known-of) beginning then!

Time to worship Abassi: “Nigerian Creator God and Lord of the Sky” for a bit.

I’ll let you know how I get on. Next week: Achimi from Algeria!

I thought they had all personnal tried finding God, rather than just dismissing faith without even giving it a good go themselves.

Which god? I see over 3000 to have a bash at: http://www.godchecker.com/%5B/url%5D

I only have a finite life. I can’t believe in them *all*. I’d never get the washing done or go out biking or owt.

Elton area in the Peaks.

Trails getting drier…. 😀

Persephone
Ophelia
Gingivitis

Though the poor girl can change her name. I changed mine, so you aren’t stuck with it for life.

So go on, call her Lucy Lastic, you know you want to!
