Just a quick one, if a poster has their first name displayed as part of their posting ID, is it fair game to use that in replying to them ? Does it show a lack of respect ? If someone was to get peeved about people calling them by their first name, should they not have their name in their ID ? My opinion: call me Phil. (More)

If so, what happened? Has anyone been lucky enough to have a near death experience? What was it like? Did ya see the light? (More)

While entering McDonalds on the weekend, I noticed a middle aged women ( maybe 37-40 age ) sitting at a bench table. This woman was SO obese, she could not fit in behind the table, so she just kind of sat on the corner of the seat, and the rest of her sat in the isle. In front of her was a tray with a couple of burgers, a thickshake and she was eating a hash brown. Her ?? hubby ?? sat opposit. Here is my question- Does McDonald has a legal right to refuse her service under the *DUTY OF... (More)

THE Anglican Church wants New South Wales Premier Nathan Rees to abandon a trial of ethics classes for students who do not want to attend scripture in schools. "Is there such an ethical hole in the current system?" Bishop Davis said. "If so, then teach it as a part of the curriculum rather than allowing a non-religious group to enter the realm of the special religious education system." Bishop Davis said scripture had been taught in NSW schools for more than 120 years and provided... (More)

You know how you think one thing but you know it would be inappropriate to say it out loud? Lately I've been saying what I'm thinking! It just escapes from my mouth! Example #1 I'm dealing with a young angry woman on the phone at work. She's saying things like 'hrmphhh well I think it's unacceptable blah blah blah'. In my mind I'm thinking 'well you're a little Princess aren't you'. But I said it OUT LOUD. Took a lot of fancy footwork to calm her down. Example #2 I'm on the... (More)

Let me start by saying, you couldn't get a more sceptical non beleiver than me, But the other night I had the most unusal visitors, woke up at exactly 3.30am, because I glanced at the clock, and there at the end of the bed was a ghostly figure of a bearded man dressed in Victorian clothes, naturally thought I was dreaming so didn't think much of it. But I sat up on one elbow and watched as he disappeared and was followed by many other ghostly figures, men, women and children of all... (More)

The new programme provided for none of... (More)

Elinkfast is selling MP3 players as 8GB which are only 2GB. The one I purchased had the title of: 8GB Slim 1.8"LCD MP3/MP4 Radio FM Player+Free Ship&Gift Although they will 'appear' as 8GB when you connect them to your computer they are in fact only 2GB. They will let you seemingly transfer more than 2GB of files, however, all additional files will be corrupt. It will also screw up the directory structure and result in cross linked files. This initial appearance in windows of 8GB is no... (More)
