I hadn't thought of that. I guess it'd make a good weight loss regieme (Just have a video of sara cox and chris moyles talking at you, which would spontaneously cause you to run away. Perhaps if you combined this with a treadmill, then you could keep me running indefinately!) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

Christmas ad's are driving me crazy! Here I sit, innocently trying to work, with live radio streaming coming through my earphones. You know what I'm listening to? One bastardised Christmas carol after the next. X| Can you believe they have even put words about some Braun electric toothbrush to a carol's tune? :mad: Apparently the average UK household (quoting from Thursday night's TV news) will go an extra £1000 into debt this Christmas. Ridiculous! Considering how many of them don't even follow the Christian religion (ok, ok, I know the man Christ was actually born around September, the day for remembering this was mixed with an ancient pagan holiday, etc, etc) what on earth are they doing?! :confused: I feel we have gone overboard forking out almost £200 on gifts in total, but considering that includes my husbands entire extended family are getting UK souveniers as Christmas presents and have missed him terribly this year, I didn't complain when he was generous towards them. £1000 in debt for an average UK family with 2 kids just seems insane. :suss: Damn - time to switch my listening to MP3's I think, where I can at least control what I listen to. :rolleyes:

Hurry now and get two for the price of three! Only available at ChristmasSoulless.com. Happiness, meaning and family values not included... :rolleyes: Want to hear something sad? I have stopped listening to 5fm... :~ No not because I am getting old. They let Alex Jay and Barney Simon go! The fools! Now all you hear is R&B and Rap. Only three good DJs left on 5fm now. IanF, SashaM and Mark Pilgrim. *sigh* At least I miss all the ads now :)

with live radio streaming coming through my earphones. Well, as my friend once said while we were twiddling the analog tuner in my car (this was years ago) trying to find a good radio station: "if one knob doesn't work, try the other one". Hmmm. I think you have to have been there to get it. Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

Can you give me a little bit more background info (links etc.) to this. I love educating my wife and her parents from time to time with some truths about their religion. I have read the bible (different versions) at least 3 times more than them put together (yes I have only read it 3 times). They are cathoic and just believe what they hear and have really never gone into reading and understanding their religion. My mother In-law Catholic School German Nuns and devout believer all her life still doesn't believe me when I tell her Methusela existed in the bible and lived to over 900 years old. Is it true that Pope's up until about 1500 were allowed to get married, have sex and children? And is it true that the church instated the celibacy rule to minimize loss of church property being left to family in wills? Yes I'm an arguementative nothing better to do with his time prick. But you've met me twice and must have come to that opinion by now. ;P Michael Martin Australia mjm68@tpg.com.au "I personally love it because I can get as down and dirty as I want on the backend, while also being able to dabble with fun scripting and presentation games on the front end." - Chris Maunder 15/07/2002

I dunno about the latter, but in your three times through, did you notice one of the last NT books talks about false religion and says that forbidding people to marry is one sign they will have ? As for links, no, I have only read real books ( remember paper ? :-) ) about the subject. I'm sure there are plenty. Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002 C# will attract all comers, where VB is for IT Journalists and managers - Michael P Butler 05-12-2002 Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program.

Well since the last time I read the bible I was 12 or 13 I reckon I can forgive myself for not remembering everything. I don't remember that part.
