Hated it right out of the gates as a child for jacking my childhood. Then as I got older I started to examine the doctrine and that was all she wrote.

i was travelling at the weekend and decided to put the eagles hotel california in the cd player...i have always liked this album but due to my recent music studies i listened to it in a different light...we have been discussing the importance of presentation aswell as good music...and it struck me that this cd has it all...proper balance, the right mix of guitar and keyboard, of heavy and light, of rock and acoustic, great ballads, great lyrics, and great vocals and harmonies, great opening, brilliant ending fade-out.... and all done without drugs.

so whats your favorite eagles top 5. mine are in this order..... no 5.....new kid in town.

no 4.....the sad cafe.

Wohooo ... last university assignment finished !

by Simon in

it feels soooo good having finished the last assignment for the open university courses i've been doing - the 18th one this year .

now i just have to revise for the exams (3 of them over 2 days) ... and if i get at least 40% then i pass, get an extra qualification and we get extra immigration points to get us on our way to canada.

anything extra is a bonus ... distinctions would be nice but i need to get 85% in the exams for that.. although i resent the impact of the wts on my life and not being able to go to university when i should, this actually isn't a bad way to do it - you don't run up massive debts like current students do and because you have more experience probably do better at a subject than if you are starting out.

Congratulations Simon! I remember when I finished my last class and last exam, what an incredible feeling. Then graduation, where you just sit back and gloat all day over a job well done.

Its kind of ironic with me, I almost have the WBTS to thank for my education, because my hatred for them and what they stood for kept me going when many I time I wanted to pack it in. Just to rub their face in it so to speak.

friends

scripture?

i know it may be hard to narrow down just one.

how about what is or was one of your favorite scriptures?

Big Dog

Hold on there sailor, before you go starting any new thread how about going back and finishing your last thread, you never did tell us what you thought Jesus was implying in the scriptures you quoted on your thread. How's about finishing what you start?

WHY DO YOU FEAR..........NUCLEAR ENERGY?

by Terry in

the united states is energy dependant.

like a substance abuse addict, the u.s. will sacrifice anything for the thrill of driving huge sporty vehicles at high speeds, it seems.

well, lets be more precise.

What's the matter with you people? Don't you remember, all the nuclear waste was stored on the moon, and in 1999 it blew up, tearing the moon out of earth's orbit, wrecking havoc on the planent and stranding the personnel of moonbase alpha on a runaway moon. Oh, er, whoops, bad tv show, fiction, not fact, forget I said anything.

But on the serious side, my understanding, limited that it is was that the waste was a real problem.
