Some good ideas here. Not so sure about the web address. Could raise the red flag of internet apostasy too quickly. Then again if you're target is liberal dubs it may well work.

Put on your copywriter hats...it's ad time!!
by seattleniceguy inokay, so i've been trying to figure out what i can do to help jws out.
obviously, no one can force someone to think, but sometimes a thought-provoking question can get the gears turning.
so i hit upon this idea of placing ads in a weekly newspaper here in seattle.

Ban on smoking in public places in the UK and todays news
by ball. inireland having just joined the list of countries banning smoking in public places, it has suddenly got media attention here in the uk.. as some of you know, i gave up smoking for a year and a half ago on a thread on this board.
i started again, however, i have always, as smoker and non-smoker, believed that such a ban would mean an infingement on your civil liberties and freedom.. then todays news along with a sad story about a 3 year old who died of obesity:.
obesity has now overtaken smoking as the biggest killer in the uk.. then i wonder, why is this nanny state discussing banning smoking in pubs, when they should be logically banning beer, in light of the new statistics and all the beer belies they show in these news items?

Maybe because you can't passively drink beer but you can passively smoke.

That reminds me of being on holiday with two pioneer sisters in Italy. They insisted on taking photos of a van with Smeg (quality kitchen appliance maker) written on it, for the school friend of one of them who had the same delightful nickname. Took me years to tell these girls that the nickname was short for smegma and that the congregation thought their photos a little weird.

Is it necessary to say to any potential visitors to the UK: Don't go using all these words when you get here. Some are best used only with good friends.
Celtic, you'll get their heads kicked in!

Never heard of "raw ramp." But it sound nasty and painful. I'll be using it next time a Witness crosses my path.

Did Morrissey go too far this time?
by Sirona ini know we've mentioned morrissey's new cd on this forum before, but i don't recall anyone talking about the shocking lyrics of his new album.
i love morrissey and i own all his stuff, but this time i've found myself cringing!
here are some excerpts:.

Well, in analysis of the lyrics - Mozzer's made it fairly obvioulsy how he feels about Dubya in interviews and while living in LA his relationship with American culture is pretty ambivelant so the lyrics are an expression of how he feels. He's clearly not alone.
Forgiving Jesus? Hhmmm... can't quite see the controversy there (unless you're a traditionalist Christian) but understand the sentiment.
Lazy dykes - who is he getting at? God knows, but he's only a musician (although I once thought he was a god)
Sirona, perhaps you'd like to say how you think those lyrics are extreme.

Can't say these lyrics bother me. I found it harder to work round his thoughts behind Nation Front Disco.

I'm a fraud. It makes me sick (possibly due to excess!) and I'm always cranky after drinking it so I tend to steer clear. But when I do, it's Macallan.

No offense to Gadget but... Teachers isn't the kind of whisky that needs handled with kid gloves. Shera, try it with ginger ale. If it was chilly I'd say Crabbies Green Ginger wine, but it's a bit warm now for that.

Which men / lads here cry when listening to music / watching films?
by Celtic inyou know how some of us guys have to put on a bit of an act sometimes, we have to set our faces into our coping scowl, but underneath, we're too well aware of just how soft we are?
well.. what music to the big guys here only, not you wimpy bunch, brings a tear to your eye or which films is it that you need to keep a box of tissues handy by you to wipe away the dampness in your eye?.
for celtic it's a track by dido - white flag and also black eyed peas - where is the love?

I've cried at
Manon de Source (when Yves Montand learns how awful he's been)
Fiddler on the Roof (not because it's inately sad but because my dad always cried at it)
The Railway Children (again, because my sister-in-law cries at it)
A.I. (but I was mad at allowing myself to be manipulated by Spielberg. Possibly because of the ressurection resonance)
Some pieces of classical music can make my eyes fill up but it's not crying and it's more due to feeling overwhelmed.
