E-bay is great for finding just about anything. I've had great experiences on E-bay and have gotten some super cheap stuff. Just make sure you check out the sellers feedback before you bid. 99% of the sellers on E-bay are honest, but there's always that 1% that ruin it.

Thanks for the link to the ad. I thought is was rather amusing. I can't see how the ad would be scary to kids, except for kids like Rod and Todd Flanders from the Simpsons.
It reminded me of an old Monty Python Skit with the giant Blancmange going around eating everyone, until finally the one couple eats the blancmange. -

How Many Brits Here Use Rhyming Slang?

This is such an interesting thread.
I've heard about the rhyming slang, and heard it referred to on certain British Comedy shows that are shown here in the US. But, for the most part, it was always over my head. For example, "How 'bout a cup of rosy". I knew it referred to tea, but I thought it referred to a particular type of tea, not tea in general. I could never figure out what the heck "Butchers" referred to until now.
Thanks for posting this. I love the English culture. I really hope and wish that I could visit England one day. -

Did The Elders Treat You With Respect & Love???
by minimus ini know there's a lot of elder bashing here.
most of it is quite justified.
i'm curious as to whether all your dealings with the elders were horrible.

Hell No. For the most part, they were all self-righteous jerks who don't
know anything about leadership. -

dubspeak follies
by what_Truth? inwhat would you think if i told you "last thursday i went to the service meeting at the kingdom hall to hear the presiding overseer give a talk from the platform.
most of us here know that to mean "last thursday i went to church to hear the head pastor give a sermon on the door to door ministry from the pulpit", a pretty common and straight forward event for a jehovah's witness.
i asked my pennicostal wife what she thought the phrase meant and she guessed it had something to do with slavery and human sacrifice.

Depression - a possible cure in sight
by gumby ini was just reading an article about a 50 year old toronto psychiatric nurse who has had 10 years of horrible depression.
she has fought off suicidal thoughts, cried and sobbed on her balcony for hours on end, spent 6 months in bed, shunned food and friends.. today.....two years later, she is happy, full of energy, and feels like living again.
what happened?.

>>>Didn't I see this on Cheers? Cliffy got a shock device and his doctor shocked him everytime he started to say something dumb.
Then Carla go ahold of it. BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Bwaahahahaha......Dance Mailman....

Sounds like something that will replace the "Be Like Jerimiah" Kingdom Melody.
