RE: We Wish You a Merry Chri

No thanks.

RE: 2 words backwards

Long John

RE: Is there a GOD???

Surely the answer to this question is self-evident?

How can there possibly be creation without a creator?

RE: Gifted children

I was also a "gifted" child - although it is not a term I like, as all children are gifted in one way or another, and IQ is not the only thing that matters. In fact, I'd have had a more successful life with a lower IQ and better people skills......

But there we are.

The subject does remind me how annoying I find it, however, that governments spend so much extra money on the really stupid, to try to boost them up to "average", yet not a cent more on high-IQ kids, despite the fact that the money would be better spent there, surely.....

RE: 2 words backwards

Bye bye

RE: Migration Not A "Human Right"

Angela Merkel must be the most odious Western leader currently in power.

RE: We Wish You a Merry Chri

A Merry Chri?

What is a "Chri" when it's at home?

RE: 2 words backwards

Game on

RE: 2 words backwards

It's OK, dear. I understand you are having difficulty getting your head around the rules of this thread. We can't all be good at everything.

All the best!

RE: 2 words backwards

You might have a valid point - if "way no" even remotely made sense as a an expression.

But it doesn't. None of your posts in this thread ever do.........

Figure go.

RE: What Are You

Q: When is a pixie not a pixie?

A: When his head's up a fairy's skirt, he's a goblin!

RE: Your all time favourite

Goodbye Pork Pie was both the worst movie, and the most over-hyped movie, I have ever seen in my life. It was even worse than 84 Charing Cross Road, and that is saying something!!!!!

No beginning, middle, or end, no discernible plot - the movie just seemed to have absolutely nothing to say.

An hour and a half of my life I can't get back.......

RE: What is money good for except paying for education and paying other bills?

In the 1970s, the Khmer Rouge government in Cambodia actually abolished money, as part of their peasant agrarian revolution.

RE: The revolution will be televised....

Sadly, the politicians will ensure that Brexit never happens.

RE: How do you know when your pop tarts are toastie enough?

Am I missing something here?

What are pop tarts?

RE: Why do so few women create forum threads

.....which is really bizarre......

RE: Stopping birth right citizenship

Trump was the son of LEGAL immigrants from Germany and Scotland.....

As far as I know, he has no Russian ancestry.

RE: 2 words backwards

You really don't get the gist of this thread, do you, dear? Perhaps some remedial comprehension lessons are in order?

RE: Jordon Peterson

Agreed.

Always good to see someone on the :inside" of university life, attacking political correctness (AKA neo-Stalinism).

RE: Hollywood Boycotting Georgia

This is not at all surprising.

The intolerance of the Left gets stronger every day.

RE: The land where women rule

The One Child Policy was one of the most tragically evil things of the Twentieth Century.

RE: Ireland V New Zealand......................Rugby

Never seen a pub here that looks like the one in your painting.....

RE: Ireland V New Zealand......................Rugby

I am sure you are sufficiently worldly to know that no generalizations can be made about people from a certain country, based solely on a bad experience with one person......

RE: What country would you like to visit while taking your two week vacation?

Well, that is wrong too.

RE: We want Brexit

I still favour Imperial Union, an idea popular a hundred years or so ago, and even advanced at the time by some big names, including the then New Zealand Prime Minister.

Basically, a Federal structure a la the EU or USA, but among the countries of the White Commonwealth.

Realistically, of course, its time has passed and it won't happen, sadly.....

RE: Finland hosted world wife-carrying world championship

There's an underwater version of this...but you're not allowed to use Finns......

RE: Ladies, here's your 2019 calendar. You're welcome.

Things like this show how far off whack feminism really is.

All women really want is a big hunky fireman to carry them off into the sunset.......

RE: Christians flee Germany

Thank God Merkel is on the way out, but it's probably too late.....

RE: What country would you like to visit while taking your two week vacation?

Because it's not a country. It's part of a country.

RE: Ireland V New Zealand......................Rugby

There are weird people in every country.
