RE: Ok what's this about then.

But it's a sheet with an image on it.

How is that different from a painting, or a photograph?

RE: Ok what's this about then.

Okay, let me rephrase that: What do you think my interest in seeing the Turin Shroud as a piece of artwork, or as a memory aid has to do with me being brainwashed?

RE: Ok what's this about then.

Okay, what do you see as brainwashing in what I've said?

RE: Ok what's this about then.

Because it's fascinating and caused such a stir for so long? It's still a piece of art, isn't it?

Or because some still believe it's a relic and the scientific tests the work of the devil?

I remember all the fuss going on before it was shown to be not what it was claimed. To be fair, if you really believed it was a relic, to take a piece for testing created an issue of sacrilege.

RE: HOME SWEET HOME

It looks like paradise and very special indeed.

Congratulations on the completion of your new home.

RE: educatio & business

I think you need to be sent to borstal.

RE: educatio & business

Ian, you're incorrigible!

RE: well done...

I suppose one has to question whether it's about freeing people, or whether that's a cover for another agender.

I'm sure a lot of people who go into the armed services and to war, firmly believe they're protecting the innocent. I can't criticise that as my mother said they were overjoyed when the Americans arrived at the end of WWII. Brave men indeed, to whom I owe a debt of gratitude for my existance.

But I do wonder how many are duped into risking life and limb.

RE: woman wanted

You've got a point about the open minded thing and the comment about my pic, Nam. I'm disappointed in myself for missing that clanger. Most unlike me.

RE: woman wanted

I'm getting embarassed now.

RE: woman wanted

I didn't, Nam, but thanks for your concern. I really appreciate it.

I put the other pic up last night as it's my 'party pic' for fun on the hug blog. I took it down just now because it looks like the party's over.

RE: woman wanted

Okay, if your age is honest, whose photos have you got?

RE: educatio & business

Hello Salman.

Peace be with you.

What's the link between the 'education and business' in your title and searching for your life partner?

RE: Sneak Preview

I'm shocked by your comment, Zee.

So, which is the other possible representation of me, you cheeky sod?

RE: woman wanted

Wonderful, a woman can only have understanding of you if she takes the time to get to know you. The chances of anyone wanting to get to know you are much slimmer if you believe they are only interested in income.

RE: woman wanted

Objecting to an old man looking for a relationship with someone barely more than a child is not ageism, it's about appropriateness. It might be legal, but it's not fair. Perhaps you should think about how vulnerable very young women are, given their lack of knowledge and experience.

An 18 year old and a 28 year old is a massive age gap, where a 35 year old and 45 year old is not nearly so much.

As for your focus on honesty, how old are you really?

RE: had a very close one few days ago

I agree about that being the longest sentence ever, but a good story!

I'm glad there wasn't too much damage and hope the springs rains come soon.

Give the doggs a pat on the head from me, eh?

RE: woman wanted

Your attitude will turn off those you seek most.

Good luck!

RE: woman wanted

@ Wonderful... Youre going to get nowhere with that attitude about money.

@ openminded... Youre going to get nowhere with your attitude about age. I mean, you're 45 years old...? Is that on your second time round the clock? And you're looking for 18 year olds? I feel a bit queasy.

RE: Love and Peace To All Bloggers

A good song, Crazy.

Thanks for the lyrics for the deaf old grannies amongst us. I've got to the stage, if my granddaughter told me her guinea pig died, I'd probably say something like, "Oooh, lovely darling! And are we having that with icecream, or custard?"

RE: ok...so ill do is..

What lead you to think I was pouring fuel on the fire?

I was admiring your chnge of heart.

RE: ok...so ill do is..

How many of us have not taken a step back and thought, "What am I doing?", or "I don't like what I'm doing."?

Isn't that one of the grat things about people?

That they frequently don't stick doggedly to something which they realise isn't right for others?

RE: ok...so ill do is..

/\/\/\/\ There's some of your process.

We all may vent at some point and say mean things, but we all have the right to change.

RE: John's Anti-Squirrel Mixture (I hope)

HaHa, if you had a Greyhound, or Lurcher you'd have a flower border in a perfect circle.

RE: The Problem With Religion

I expect Al's half way up your dress by now, Crazy.

RE: ok...so ill do is..

Why should this blog be deleted?

I think there's an interesting process going on.

RE: ok...so ill do is..

Zee!

RE: The Problem With Religion

@ Crazy... more fool you!

@ Lou... that's poingent, that thing about the misuse of religion coming between ordinary folk.

RE: ok...so ill do is..

Yeah, the anti-muslim stuff is going on in the forums as well.

As I see it there are two options:

1. Don't partake in threads/blogs which create bad feeling, rather than healthy discussion.

2. Create alternative threads/blogs.

I'm not so good at creating threads, or blogs for the masses. I ususally bore the pants of people.

But there's not much sense in complaining that other people aren't providing the 'right' entertainment if we're not prepared to try ourselves.
