Sorry to go on about this - but is snorky/huncamuna now Twirly? Well....? Nice YouTube entry ridgley btw.

I'm confused. Did Snorky morph into huncamunca? Or did snorky merely marry huncamunca ?And where does twirly fit into all this? Hmmm?

Ha! Alan M, only upon returning from Ethiopia....

Just stick to the bald facts please. RosueH - you trample on the memory of huncamunca. Besides, i wanted to say it !

Actress for me but yet to try gowlett. Firezza and the one on melbourne I find really average. Actually, had a couple at Licorish which were divine but that was a couple of years ago.

Spent a week there for work last year. Once you get out of addis it's gorgeous lush gently undulating countryside . Very historic - check out the ancient churches at Lalibela . Jaw dropping. But to my shame my overwhelming impression of the place was that it had an abnormally high proportion of stunningly beautiful women. I don't mean pretty or good looking . I mean women who are works of art, brought to blessed life by a benificent Almighty. Faces that dazzle the eye and pierce the heart. At every bus stop, every market stall, every supermarket checkout every passing car. From age 18 to 80. Everywhere you look, beauty , beauty , beauty. In the end it became slightly surreal - as if you were trapped in a blissed out narcotic haze of inscrutable eternal beauty. Sigh. Food was ok.

This is getting out of control. It is firmly established by principle practice and precedent that only the late lamented Hunamunca has the authority to make an official declaration of Gang Activity (GA). Failure to respect societal rules results in problems such as greedy bankers, looting louts and youths being questioned in Barry Road. Please report any rogue declarations of GA to admin immediately.

When does SkyNet become self aware ?

Damian H. Correct analysis re off-putting sense of "entitlement " espoused by so many ED parents. They should get a grip . However ... Civilservant . Persuasively argued and charmingly put. I am now undecided.

Lynch. Mob . Mentality. No mention of defending one"s property. He's clearly referring to the mentality of some posts on this forum. Clue? He uses the phrase "this forum " Focus, man, focus.

Ian R - hmmm can't make up my mind if I'm pissed off at apparently gratuitous mention of ethnicity. Endresi - tell the police.

But whatever, > I sure as hell applaud them anyway, just for > having the balls to be out there. Incorrect representation of my position. Police are essential to proper running of society. I applaud them by and large. Very close friend's daughter is special constable. Very brave. I worry about her during this time. But some police fall well below acceptable standards of conduct and act to erode vital support. Silly and naive to hide from that. My basic point is that this country has more dialogue with the freaking Talban than it has with vast swathes of its own population - as demonstrated by some of the sillier posts on here. I can't claim to know why the riots are happening - but I do know that we've got a major structural problem on our hands. Won't be solved by the drooling ranters we see coming out of the woodwork. And it's not a question of whether a solution is liberal or conservative - many folk hold a healthy, honest mix of both approaches. It just gets my goat when we get slack jawed simple mindedness instead of actual thought - be it liberal or conservative.

They're running from the police so they must be guilty. Jeez this kind of ass-backwards simple mindedness barely merits a response. Did broadcasts from earth about a fellow called Ian Tomlinson reach your planet? What's the weather like there, btw?

Last week I saw a cyclist do the usual dumb-ass stunt of abruptly swerving into a different lane ...only to go into the path of a motorbike....which wasn't able to avoid him. Horrible smash with both parties sent flying onto the other side of the road. Miraculously ,both able to stand and walk. Weirdly the motorbike seemed to have come off worst with bits knocked off and a big dent. You see this kind of reckless cycling all the time - so I don't know about murderous ... but in some cases I'd say suicidal and dangerous.
