Vespasian

I do remember saying Brexit would unleash forces in Europe that may get out of control.. David Cameron has a lot to answer for if this descends into anarchy.. Perhaps Borris aught take a look at these scenes and wonder at his own contribution to unfolding events...

Well its obvious Richard Dawkins has read some of the bible, he might of read it all for all I know. but I suspect he's not wasted any time on researching it in any meaningful way.. He's a scientist after all, not a biblical scholar or ancient historian.. In that regards I feel I'm on safe grounds assuming some facts that might or might not be factual..

As a scientists I doubt Richard Dawkins has had any need to research the bible for clues to how it evolved.. He would just assume it to be ancient myths written by dotards who didn't know any better.. In some regards I can't blame him.. still, its an interest I've had and like any interest that catches my attention I want to figure were all the pieces fall into place. moving on a little.. Kim Kardashian wants to do somethin about that big fat arse of hers, its disgusting..

I recon your right in regards a placebo, and like you said if it works for your wife then all's well an good.. but damn, to eat your own placenta thats takin faith in a placebo effect to a whole new level.. LOL, A thought did cross my mind yesterday, not so much about the placebo effect but animal instinct and behavior.. a day or two ago I was talkin about dogs eating their puppies with someone, a friends dog had had pups and one of em was dead, she phoned the vets to explain the situation, the vet advised her leave the dog with the dead pup to grieve in its own special way for a day or so. Well, obviously the dog ate its dead pup.. apparently she was distraught at this turn of events.. though no surprise to the vet I imagine LOL.. Anyway, if your wife(god forbid had a stillbirth) I don't suppose she'd want to eat the bloody child now would she?...

And you sir have nave never had to deal with humor. is it any wonder people are depressed?

Has it ever crossed your mind that animals might want to eat their placenta to be rid of it to avoid rotting flesh where their young are?... Wouldn't want to attract the attention of roaming scavengers would they, nothing to do with the value of meat available to eat... Which brings me to your geographic location, any alligators live nearby? any lions or dangerous black bears?.. Seems to me you've fed your wife her placenta under the false assumption it might do her some good... why I feel it won't do her any harm, at least if your gonna feed it to the poor girl, you could of married it up with some onions an fried the damned thing up..

As someone with a lifelong interest in the subject, I can safely say, and without any doubt that he didn't.. Richard Dawkins is defaulting to consensus, nothing more.. its easier to conform to consensus than do some research, I suspect he never had the time or inclination to research the subject... On the other hand Richard Carrier has a PHD in ancient history and has written many peer reviewed academic publications on the subject, you should look him up..

Ah so you have a couple of Jewish grandparents then?.. maybe one, a quarter Jew then?...or is it an eighth?.. Anyways problems solved.. Just a heads up, Jesus wasn't Jewish, he was invented much the same as Sherlock Holmes was invented, but thats for another day.. Look on the internet for foundation myths, the Jews picked Moses for theirs, the Romans Romulus and Remus..

Your Jewish!!!!!, thought you was a born again god bother-er...

WTF, don't tell me you drank that crap, I mean you fed it to your wife/partner...FFS

What I don't want is slanted news, like on these sites you linked to.. better to sub to a few news commentators on Utube, some from the left some from the right.. For instance, I'm as happy to watch secular talk as I am Ben Shapiro.. Question, why the interest in Israeli politics?....

I'll bet its Kangaroo meat or somethin, I'm sure liddl sells odd ball meats sometimes..

well in an update I read, it said burning wood on fires and stoves would only come into effect on given days, when the air quality is likely to be bad.. I sense some walkback on this one...

Well what do you expect!! as the take up of woodstoves/fires increases it was gonna attract the attention of the environmental brigade.. anyway, I can see the sense of using woodfires if you live outside the suburbs but not if you live in towns or conurbations.. its just askin for trouble down the line.

11.45, I'd say a whiskey or two, which is fine far as drinkin whiskey goes, but your gonna have to be a bit more subtle if you expect to rope me into a slangin match with you LOL's.. Still, nice try, perhaps tomorrow when I have more time as its about time I made ready for a good nights sleep... and so to bed.. bye

Don't worry Timon, I feel your pain when it comes to Corbyn..

Here an there when I write anythin about the Tories, I just can't help my old feelins risin to the surface and wantin to have a dig at em.. Not that I feel the Tories are full of dirty scum, but theres enough there to make my blood boil whenever I think or write about em in a general way.. Its the same with Corbyn, whenever I think or feel a need to write about him, I tend to want for a cat to strangle..

Do you think 90% of new builds would of been paid for in tax's or borrowing if the Tories were in power in that period?.. if not what your point?..

We agree on that then, that both Labour and Tory are guilty of the same crime.. as to running out of money, had more to do with encouraging growth than anything Labour ever did in regards PFI. remember, grow your economy quicker than your debt and you're on a winner.. both Labour and Tory play the same game in that regards.. like musical chairs, its a matter of luck when the shit hits the fan in regards a downturn.. So to blame labour for mucking it up is a mater of bad luck in regards timing on their part, then again they had a long run so it was gonna happen on their watch at some point...

Only because labour were in power at the time, don't imagine if the Tories stayed in they'd of done any different.. lets not forget, but for John Major opening pandors box the labour party would have had to borrow or tax to build new schools or hospitals at the time..

You do realize it was the Tory scum under John Major who introduced it don't you Timon?...

Thers nothin to be done, apart from hopin your arguments are better, and more people side with you.. I realize its tempting to want to go for direct action but you have to understand that your opponent then has the same option.. an eye for eye and soon the whole world will go blind..

No idea what you said apart from using the C word.. but you have to ask yourself who's worse, someone who thinks somethin, or someone who wants to thump someone for thinking something?.. I mean, I agree with Matelots arguments for the most part, but don't mind you pointing out why he's wrong.. The last thing that ever crosses my mind is I should get round to thumping you for having those views.. If, you want to beat someone, do it with arguments, not threats of violence.. not that thats what you threatened but it wouldn't surprise me givin your track record...

PFI is one of the worst idea's ever thought up... basically putting governments account into the private sector.. a way to hide government spending if you like... skew the data, hide the truth... bleat how you have brought spending under control... However that being said it is what it is, to late to bleat about it now.. though I'm sure if it was the Tories threatening to take back control of PFI accounts and renationize utilities, I dare say no one would give a monkeys, most would see it as a good idea... But its gonna cost, cost big, so big I think this will only ever be a promise to get on with, not a promise fulfilled.. The worry isn't what some in the Labour party are threatening to do, but that Labour in the not too distant future might gain power with Corbyn as its leader.. I can't think of anything worse at the moment than Corbyn being our Prime Minister, well. apart from May still being a Prime Minister in three years time... What the scum need is a stratagem to keep Corbyn out.. I have one, Groom a new Tory leader over the next year or so. Procrastinate on Brexit until it looks like a cliff edge is before our eyes.. Then tell the British electorate that such is the danger of Britain coming out of Europe at this present time that we're gonna have to concede defeat on the subject and postpone brexit until the next Parliament when it can be sorted out in good time.. hint, wink wink, never. This will assuage all those pro europeans who voted labour to get back at the Tory scum brexiteers, and stump Corbyn because he is the real danger in regards Europe.. He will get us out of Europe, all the better to get on with pouring billions of taxpayers money into subsidizing any one of his numerous pet projects.. So, in a nutshell, the Tory scum need to be the ones procrastinating on Brexit, forcing Corbyns hand to demand we leave... that will go down like a sack of shite with all his momentum lemmings.. The labour party will be in turmoil as they openly fight to be rid of Corbyn, giving the Tory scum the majority they thought the'd get last time round..

The trimmer is an HS86R, in case it has bearin on matters.. Oh, thanks for the replies lads, I just felt I might end up havin to bin the damn thing.. but it seems the consensus is its repairable.. Lurkalot The engine runs fine, whats at issue is the star looking thingy coming out the engine part of the trimmer that rotates the gears on the head.. its not turning when the engine runs... I can hear somethin rattlin about when I start it up....
