Air Canada Crash, oops, I mean "hard landing"
by Simon injust watched the news about the air canada crash in halifax that they want to claim was just a "hard landing".. i can only imagine the distinction matters for insurance purposes otherwise they are just being idiots.
pretty poor behavior for the airline whatever the motivation imo.. now i'm no plane expert but i think when then plane is smashed up, the engines have come off and the nose is in pieces that should be obviously classed as a crash.
if you can't take off again then you have been in a crash, not a hard landing.. .

IKEA Bekant motorised standing desk
by Simon inif you're anything like me and have a desk job you will sit for long periods of the day and it's very unhealthy according to lots of studies.. one thing you can do to change that is to stand - you burn more calories as well as reducing health risks.
yes, it hurts (like hell) at first and you really need a chef's mat to stand on and ideally some hard foam 'things' you can put one foot on to allow you to change your position.
you can also get 'standing stools' like the mogo to give a bit of a half-way house:.

Our dog doesn't shed but we have two white cats that are able to disperse hair throughout the house.
Make sure the table will take the weight of one of those cats of yours. LOL.

I remember CO Ken Richmond and his wife in London in North Kensington area. Big guy, broad shoulders.
He used to drive a Heinkel Micro Car. Tight squeeze for him and his wife.

Is this what the society imagines will be above that 'secret hiding room' in the basement?

Another reason.
They could be in the basement because JW--Org has sold off all the Kingdom Halls.

Complete and Finished.
No dictionary has ever been able to satisfactorily define the difference between "complete" and "finished." However, during a recent linguistic conference, held in London , England , and attended by some of the best linguists in the world. Samsundar Balgobin, a Guyanese linguist, was the presenter when he was asked to make that very distinction. The question put to him by a colleague in the erudite audience was this: “Some say there is no difference between ‘complete’ and ‘finished.’ Please explain the difference in a way that is easy to understand.”
Mr. Balgobin’s response:
“When you marry the right woman, you are ‘complete.’ If you marry the wrong woman, you are ‘finished.’ And, if the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are ‘completely finished.”

New forum 'parousia' is upon us! (software version)
by Simon inthe time has nearly come to switch over to the new forum software.
of course it's not completely finished yet (and never will be) but i think it's good enough to go live with and probably already better than the current one.
i'll give you a quick overview of what to expect and post more detail about the changeover process later.. cloud platform.

Yes Tim Hooper
It was a rented hall when we attended it many years ago when I was young.
I remember Len Hobbs.
It was the old market hall in the centre of the market.
In the winter to heat the hall there was a open coal fire and a brother used to sit near the fire feeding the fire with old 78rpm records of Judge Rutherford recordings. There was a stack of them in a back room.
Also in the warm summer the place stank from the fruit and veg market below.
OH Happy Days
