  Tractor Boy by birth and upbringing though. Ah, fond memories of East Anglia!

  Apparently it wasn't named after Keynes at all, it's just a myth: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/gareth_lewis/ofguidb.htm

  Always preferred Cambridge, anyway....

  Yes. It is a new (1960's) planned city, named after Keynes. And Milton, probably.

  Therefore quite effecient and smooth working, but utterly without character or charm.

  Sorry montag, but since I'm from that quarter of the country I'm allowed to slag it off.

  Nic:

  I don't think that JW's affect the many nearly as much as they would like to think.

  We have been affected badly, of course, having been part of the sect. Since family groupings are usual in the JW's world, it sometimes seems like everyone surrounding us has also been affected by the Watchtower.

  In reality though, the WT is an insignificant sect on the world scene. The only way most peoples lives are touched by the JW's is to be slightly annoyed with them on the occasional Saturday morning.

  This is also the reason why the world at large is so tolerant of the JW's. They have no idea what they are all about, or the abuses of freedom perpetrated on their own members.

  Just my observations

  The fact that we all have so much free time to worry and fret over supposed crises of crime in itself indicates that conditions are better now than before.

  The vast majority of historical people were far too busy simply struggling for the necessities of their much shorter lives to indulge in such nonsense.

  The poem INVICTUS - what a piece of crap!

  Tallyman:

  What a curious little diatribe! You appear to have transferred your anger and hatred for McVeigh onto the long dead poet that he happened to quote.

  Henley can hardly be blamed if an evil person such as McVeigh chooses to quote him. There is no reason to suppose Henley would have agreed or sympathised with McVeigh in any way whatsoever.

  If McVeigh's last words had been "once more into the breach, dear friends, once more!", would you have presented to us an essay on why Shakespeare was an asshole?

  From a thread on greatcrowd.com re The Weakest Link. Did anyone see this?:

  Did anyone watch tonight?
  They mentioned us! One of the questions towards the middle of the show was,

  "Jehovah's Witnesses produce two publications, the Awake and what other magazine?"

  The woman went blank then said "Mad?"

  Harmony:

  I understand that the elders are no longer allowing alcohol at Prince's parties.

  Also, make sure you pick up a pioneer sister chaperone at the door.
