I'm not trying to veto the idea, but Free Religion? You goddamn hippies. Give us Theocracy, and an all-conquering army.

No probs here. Is it possible you've [icked up some bug somewhere? Or have you an outdated version of Firefox/IE?

For the record, I am a cretin.

Off for my first bit of training later today. I am very very apprehensive. I'm too old to get shouted at, dammit.

Rain like the fall of ruined seas from secret worlds above?

I'm sure my learned colleague meant to put this in C&C.

Out of date legislation? Basic reason is that back in the day no-one gave a crap what happened to kids. Send 'em down the mines, let 'em get typhus, whatever. I hope we've gone beyond that now.

On the subject of theft it is never a bad plan to have decoys such as a decoy wallet. You put a small quantity of cash in here along with expired bus passes, and library cards. Use this cash as your daily working cash, and transfer other cash to this wallet as necessary IN PRIVATE. But similar principles apply to valuables in bags.

Jaunting about up hill and down dale. Got news an old friend ay be coming to visit this weekend. There really is no pleasure like retiring to the pub for a day, drinking beer, and talking total balls.

Who's up next?

*sigh* I'm all in favour of sexy but when are we going to face the fact that armour has to cover all of you to work. I don't recall Saladin cantering about in a halter-top.

Small girls don't eat candy. They eat lead piping and boy's shins.

Oho. I wasn't sure if we could use that, or if it was for looking at your images. What a thoughtful chap you are.
