Would I date a girl?

err…. no

Come out of the closet *now*. Have (safe) fun.

Buy knee pads.

@Drac: read the second paragraph I wrote. If I do this there will be blood everywhere. Or I’ll have an enormous beard…

I was head boy at my school. Didn’t mean that much, had a badge for it, had to join in stupid religious stuff (they tried to make me do communion and I told them to get lost) but also did some good bits: helping with talking newspapers and a few other community things.

Had my inguinal fixed something like 2001. Went private as work had me on the BUPA scheme. Mesh installed. Total time from diagnosis to repair was about 3 weeks.

Had general anaesthetic and now have a scar which has faded (non-keyhole). I was surprised that no one came to shave me beforehand and after the op only half my pubes we’re gone. They could have done something a bit more artistic!

For about 3-4 months it would ache if I was going lots of exercise but in general it was fine.

The only issue was me. I kept fainting after the op. I was on oxygen for a few hours afterwards.

http://uk.crucial.com/gbr/en is an OK site. (edited as I got it rong)

A room full of nekkid ladies.

Am surprised that no-one has already said:

And the existance of 29ers. That obviously refutes a personal god.

So what I’ve taken away from this thread:

No-one actually knows what religious people believe, it’s like a will-o-the-wisp that every time you ask seems to change so a decent discussion can never be had.

That molly is everyone’s dad on threads like this. 🙂

But that’s a lot of words, some attempting to be big, that basically bake down to:

1. God (as the author defines it) is inherent to the universe.
2. You define gods by their place in nature (taxonomy).
3. A side kick at non-believers in the same vein that believers complain about getting from non-believers.
4. If gods exist then we haven’t yet found a way so we can only investigate by logic or experiences.

This is classic strawman. Define your object in (1), knock down the options you don’t like in (3) and (4) leaving you with what you want.

0/10 do better next time Mr Hart.

He also didn’t consider Buddhism or the multi-god religions. If we’re talking about religion you can’t just cherry pick *which* god you’re talking about, there’s loads of others too that must be explained or dismissed.

I don’t see why we can’t just tear up all these books and just replace the lot with:

“Be excellent to each other.”

(“And party on, dude!” optional).

Minford’s statements have already been soundly debunked. His model is extremely simple and refuses to take into account things like distance and goods differentials etc.

If you’re into games and are thinking about getting one I recommend watching Wil Wheaton’s ‘tabletop’ youtube programme:

You get a good idea of the game and how it plays. The ‘Cards Against Humanity’ of course was a *smidgin* rude.

My dog suffers from separation anxiety.

He’s fine, it’s just me. I don’t like being apart from him.

🙂

Same with cheese. Bloody cheesolutionists claiming it exists. Meh.

@dannyh I think it is to do with this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-34579423

Tom is strident in his dismissal of it (chronic lyme’s) yet equally on the other side C_G believes in it without clinical evidence.

Me, I think the jury is out and it is for the people who make the positive claim to provide the evidence. Hopefully with the people who claim to have this condition research can be done to find if it is an after-effect of Lymes or something else that has occurred (e.g. an opportunistic infection at the same time, a knocked immune system, too much Scooby Doo* or even Z-rays from space). Unfortunately people tend to be somewhat fixated on one thing (an extreme example: autism and vaccination) so if/when this condition is understood there will be even more arguments.

Hence for Tom and C_G, I tend to ignore both of them.

* – not possible

My husband had a bite from a tick which developed the ‘bulls-eye’ rash. We’d been up in Scotland camping (no, don’t do the ‘camping’ gag, I’ve heard it so many times…!) and there were deer about.

He went to the doctor’s who diagnosed Lymes.

The doctor prescribed antibiotics.

My husband took said antibiotics.

My husband is OK.

No quackery needed, no “mavericks” that appear on their own websites peddling miracle cures or owt.

Another donation bump! 🙂

Last Christmas I went to the supermarket and a present of a small bottle of Glenfiddich was accidentally scanned three times. I discovered it the next day so went back and they refunded me twice the incorrect payment, returning £56.

Which I thought was brilliant as they could have said “get stuffed!”.

The Robert Galbraith (aka JK Rowling) are pretty good, read by Robert Gleneister.

Yes, we add another letter every now and then to keep you on your toes.

@tj – nothing will. No matter what you put there will be a reason why it is not good enough. “No true Scotsman” type thing. Have a sit down and a cuppa, go out on the bike, your blood pressure will only go up mate.

The Mash does it again:

It is comedic, quoting Seneca. JRM is not what I would describe as a stoic. I’d prefer him to be a peripatetic and simply walk away.

Also needing to google to get a joke is like having to explain it, which makes it very unfunny.

Dydy e ddim yn gwerth rhech dafad.

Oh look! Another language! Fiercly intelligent! Hilarious 😕

Well he has just called his new child ‘Sixtus’. Obviously a man of the people. 😆

Had one and was happy for a few days then found every time I created an espresso the milk wand leaked all over the shop. Took it back pronto.

I didn’t read it as an insult and I’m gayer than Gaylord McGayface, winner of the Gayest Gay on the Planet of the Gays, Rainbow Galaxy.

Every time I see him I do tend to think “As thick as mince” as someone else put it.

I can’t wait to be honest. Suggest you don’t read below the line on the video as there are a lot of bitter nasty types lurking.

No, THE Doctor! Sheesh! 😀

Good idea Jamie! Saves costs too!

Surely this easy answer to this to have pretty girls on odd days and hunky men on even days, so the winner can get their trophy kiss and flowers. Or both, where the winner gets kissed on his/her cheek by one of each?

Cos if its not about sex and all that then there should be no problem.

If it helps I came from North Wales into England.

In 1992.

I’m *still* waiting for the sheep jokes to stop…. <sigh> 🙂

I’ve had it since middle of last year. Hasn’t had oodles of use but it does burn clear as long as its hot, it is apparently clearview. No problems with it, although learning the foibles of woodburning takes a little time.

And I use the embers when it dies down before I go to bed to make a sneaky slice of toast.

I’m still learning and am sure I’m burning too much wood as I leave the flue open a bit too long. I’ve also found I like those wood shaving firelighters as opposed to the brick ones as they don’t smell.

Mine’s OK. It burns wood, it gets hot and it heats the room. It is also fairly contemporary (no twiddly bits) and I like it.

The thread on here about the EU will be at 10 billion posts and someone called ‘chewkw’ will be telling us that if we wait just a bit longer it will be wonderful. 🙂

Having read this I’m afraid I’m 100% behind Geetee1972. If your children are too precious to be accidentally caught in a hobby photographer’s image in public perhaps you should keep them at home.

We’re not talking about someone stalking your kids, just someone taking public photos. Those women should be ashamed of their behaviour.
