  I went to Corfu a couple of years back, but it was full of scrub and rather tatty. We stayed in Paleokastritsa which was great but I wasn't impressed with the rest of the island.

  How would you compare Kefalonia with Corfu?

  Is this the same as the Cephalonia as featured in Captain Corelli's Mandolin?

  I dunno if she has or not. I'm a married man and consequently never look at boobies. Well, only sometimes. Quite a lot actually.

  I believe that around 12% of the posters here are from the UK.

  To smoke a pipe successfully, one must first of all let it go out after the initial ignition and long draw. Then, tamp down the still warm tobacco and relight. A number of very short draws is then required as drawing too hard will make the pipe too hot and the tobacco unpalatable.

  Pantyhose. hah! I just love that expression. Sounds like some sort of flexible tubing. I presume we are referring to ladies tights?

  I was there!

  12 years old, baptised at Orchard Beach. New York was bloody hot back then in 1958. Took us 10 days to get back to England, the unusually warm summer had melted some of the polar ice cap and the Atlantic was full of icebergs, so we sailed far south then back up again.

  Why do/don't you believe in God

  by LouBelle in

  2. friends

  now for all the scientists out there this is not a question of proof or anything along those lines.

  for my part i choose to believe in a god because i honestly believe there is one (though i did start doubting for a little while) i've always felt that there was more to our existance on earth - and that doesn't stem from me wanting to live forever or as a spirit, as i don't even know if that will happen.

  i also believe in him because many many times when i could not carry on, on my own strength, i managed to pulled through.

  I think it's pretty dumb to say categorically that there is no god. Like my ole Dad used to say, we talk about the laws of the universe, so if there are these laws, then there must be a law-maker.

  I certainly don't believe in the god of JW's whose main interest seems to be keeping an eye on what I do with my genitals.

  There could well be a superior or even supreme being I guess. Whether this will make any difference to what happens to us when we die, god only knows.
