to start my day with: as i was walking down the street towards hell the assembly, i went to cross halfway across the road when a cheese and cracker brother told me that i should "cross at the light so that others can see that jehovah's people are law abiding citizens.
stick my lapel badge up his ass sideways make a good impression so i waited until he was distracted by other jaywalkers and then dashed across the road complied with his suggestion.
once in the building i managed to find a seat next to a guy who looked remarkably like fat bastard was a bit on the plump side.
So, tell me about War of the Worlds. Is it worth going to see?
Sorry to go off topic but I couldn't resist, I went to see WotWs last night and if I were to sum it up in one word it's 'PANTS!' Go and spend your money on Jeff Wayne's musical version instead - far superior.
when i first became a father over 17 years ago i was so 'dedicated' to the truth' that i just know i'd have followed the society's policy on blood to the letter.
fortunately it never came up.
however, having kids was also something of a watershed.
Yes, I passed the 'ultimate' test of faith too.
When my son was 18 months old his bowel collapsed and he needed an emergency operation. Of course being a good little JW I refused to sign the consent form to allow a blood transfusion. Waiting for my son to come out of the operating theatre was the longest night of my life. My son survived and is now a healthy 17 year old with his whole life ahead of him thanks to the fantastic work of the doctors. I resent it bitterly that I could have ended his life by following the rules of a cult.
Strangely though I was out less than four months later.

Hi Yans!
Again, when thinking about this guy telling horror stories in the bathroom
Oh yeah! That was a bit scary. But camping was so much fun (except for your cheap airbed!)
Are you bringing your anti-mosquito arsenal again this year?

OK, I'm coming with my girlfriend... I mean...
Looking forward to seeing you folks again. Shame about Avengers
So nobody's camping this year? I'm bringing a slightly bigger tent than last year and coming by car rather than motorbike.
Hope I can find the campsite!
Hey Mike, what's your address again?

as an american, i see words such as cheerio, blimey, bloody (when referring to something negative), loo, bugger, fag (cigarette), etc.
as chiefly british (i suppose they are).. what words and/or phrases do you consider to be chiefly american?
i'm honestly unaware of which words i use that may not be used in other english-speaking countries.
Faucet = Tap
Movie = Film; flick
Yard Sale = Car Boot (but on a bigger scale)
Zipper = Zip
Garbage = Rubbish
Pants = Trousers
next week, due to his recently learned so called knowledge of psychiatry and medication??

What do you mean by the original version of the film? As far as I know there was only a 60's (?) one set in America which bore no resemblance whatsoever to the book, which is set in Victorian England.
I don't care about Tom Cruise's beliefs as far as the movie is concerned. He did a good job in 'The Last Samuri' as an actor so I'll give the movie a chance. But it won't be the 'War of the Worlds' by HG Wells, it'll be totally Speilberg, and U.S. orientated.
I saw the new Hitchhikers movie and it sucked big time. Not a patch on the BBC TV series.
anyone from the cambridgeshire congregations of st ives, st neots or huntingdon?
or any rotherham congregations?
Cardboard box? You were lucky!
Along with Dougie Remsbury I got the shed. At least the bros in the caravan had a kettle!
.
k....ppl what silly name did you give to your dog,cat,hamster,rabbit or horse?.
i named my dog.....holy cow....
We had an aggressive Doberman called Caesar. Once, it tried to kill a little Jack Russel dog that dared to square up to him. We kept shouting 'Caesar!, Caesar!' and the woman who owned the jack russel got very upset because she thought we were yelling 'seize her!'
I now have two Chinchillas called Pika and Choo.
A beautiful blonde sits next to a handsome man in a bar, and after he buys her a couple of drinks, she says in a seductive voice "I'll do ANYTHING you can name in three words for $200".
I heard a slightly diferent version:
The blonde offers to do anything for $50 and the man gives her a can of paint and says 'OK, paint my porch!'
Ten minutes later she comes back and says 'Finished!' 'That was quick' said the man. 'Yes', said the blonde, 'and it isn't a Porche it's a Ferrari!'
Do you know what an Aeroplane Blonde is? It's a woman who has dyed her hair blonde but still has a black box.
there was a horrible story about a special-needs teacher this month who was subject to a campaign of violence and intimidation from local youths.
the police ignored her repeated requests for action and in desperation, when she again saw her car being vandalised, she ran out brandishing an air-pistol to scare the yobs off.
she was promptly arrested and sentenced to six months in prison.
And do you remember this?:
