  my american friends, .

  when a british person is introduced on one of your tv shows, particularly comedy shows i invariably cringe.

  truth is, the person is so far removed from a standard british person, that it is laughable.

  The Loaded Question

  by ezekiel3 in

  there is a new fad presentation going around, a simple but loaded question.

  "what would it take for you to be interested in the bible?

  of course you can't say no, and if you say, "nothing" the followup question is "why?

  It's an old type of salesman's question. Basically, you never ask a prospect a question that can be answered yes or no. Most answers will leave the answerer somewhat discomfitted and on the back foot. This one is typical of that. Most folk will ask why, and from that point on you're involved in an unwanted conversation.

  King James was not a nice guy!

  He sanctioned hanging, drawing (disembowelling) and quartering (arms & legs ripped off by heavy horses.) of people.

  Ugly People

  do ugly people have a right to normal lives - relationships, marriage, families?.

  about half of us must be below "average" attractiveness.

  maybe xjws are on average more gorgeous than the general population.. what can you tell about a person by their facial beauty or lack of it?

  Fortunately for me, my wife likes ugly men.

  Her Ladyship thinks that Jimmy Nail is the dog's bollocks!

  When you know, I'd appreciate it if you could just indicate in this thread if you intend to come.

  Thanks.

  In 1970, ex-Beatle George Harrison was successfully sued for plagiarising a song. The song he wrote was "My sweet Lord".

  The court said it was a complete rip-off of The Chiffons "He's so fine".

  You can hear them both side by side here: http://www.benedict.com/Audio/Harrison/Harrison.aspx

  IMHO, the WTBTS's "Keep your eyes on the prize" is a much more obvious rip-off of "Someday my Prince will come" than anything that George Harrison wrote.
