| dedwardsa | And lo, He said "Spammer, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Sadly, this wasn't one of them". |
| Bill Rigby | Is this Jesus4Preston imported from here (USA)? It reeks of it. Keep Britain sane; you can do without the sickening religiosity that pervades this nation. |
| noel | Don't worry Bill, avoiding it like the plague. |
| William R | Sorry, I`m with Noel on this one. Time and place......... Bill, or should I start using William R. |
| Bill Rigby | And I guess I am with you both! I did not connect, William with the R, since my initials are WJR, but then yours is WH, I guess. |
| Kath smith | Life, the world, the universe, everything you want's on the forum even parched peas(!) So some religion had to be on it somewhere.
Thanx Andy, but no thanx had enough of that stuff at school. |
| Martin | I wouldn't preach any belief system. How you see the universe is all down to personal interpretation at the end of the day.
I don't think any religion has found "The Answer" |
| Hayleypink | ummm maybe there isnt an answer as no one is asking the right question?!
<---wanders off as not christain and doesnt have a PR postcode. <g>
|
| LDunlop76 | Jesus4Preston..... how cheesy does that sound? I've nothing against Christianity, but I'd rather not have it rammed down my throat. Still, they say God loves a trier! (And messages like that are very trying! LOL!) |

Do you think he will be able to get them into the premiership next season? |
| noel | LOL good one Martin, I think we'll need more than him on our side, I have a cunning plan for a pitch that balances on a fulcrum under the centre line. When North End are attacking the Town End, the pitch is winched up at the Cop end to a 45 degree angle. It will be almost impossible for the away team to get the ball out of their half. When they v=change ends at half time, it tilts the opposite way. ( I discovered this worked when I used to play push halfpenny with my cousin as a young child. ) I have another plan, building a massive wind machine to be sited behind the goal North End are defending. These ideas may sound drastic, but I can't see any other way we will get out of the Nationwide 1. ( Apart from going into Div.2 of course) |
| Martin | Wouldn't it be easier if they bought some decent players? Do they still have the musicians playing at Deepdale? |

No Martin, I think my plan has more chance of success. Brindle Brass Band stopped playing in 1962, though Russel Watson has sang a few times in the last 3 or 4 years.[:)] |
| Hayleypink | i like russel watson. |

thats how!!! |
| Martin | Who is Russell Watson? |
| LDunlop76 | That bloke who sang at either the opening or closing ceremony of the Manchester Commonwealth Games.... does opera, but also pop..ish stuff - though it sounds like he's murdering the pop stuff to me ;-) |
| noel | Britain's top tenor opera singer. Surely you must have heard of him? |
| Hayleypink | dont think opera is martins thing....more the beatles. |
| noel | I love the blend of opera and pop Linda.when it's done properly of course, Charlotte Church is an example of someone who just can't make the switch.) Remember in the sixties a judge saying "What are the Beatles" |
| LDunlop76 | quote:

Only vaguely...... but then I used to sing Beatles songs while I was on the swing - I was only 3 when they hit the big time! |
| noel | Not sure how we got around to music on this religuous topic but saw Bond on The Classic Awards TV program, I already have several of their recordings, anybody who's dithering about classical music listen to some of their recordings. ( The fact they look like 5 Vanessa Mayes is another reason for watching them.) |
| Hayleypink | Bond are very good. |
| Lady Griffin | I like Russel Watson too-he's been out to NZ a few times.A very nice young man I thought.
I am trying with my words-three postings -mustn't get too far behind.I'm lagging. |
| Lady Griffin | I find Charlotte Church OK in smallish doses.NZ has Haley Westernra -about the same age .I think Hayley is a more natural singer.She's recorded and sung in Outdoor concerts here with Russel Watson-THE VOICE.
Is this a music topic?Well that's a bit religious anyway. |
| noel | I think it's a sort of anti-religious spam topic LG, good to read your responses again. |
| William R | Noel, I see somewhere that Lady G says she was talking like a Kiwi, I thought a Kiwi was a bird, but I must be mistaken, it must be some kind of parrot if it talks. I can`t ask Lady G, because she would zap my computer and stop me posting, I know she likes Penguins though, and she chops trees down for a hobby, so I have to be careful what I say, and she has a thing about keeping oak leaves off her garden. No wonder they call it upside down land. I`d better sign off as my screen has started to flicker so she must be starting her zapping technique. Cheers. William R. |
| noel | I've not read that yet Bill, but I did notice she kept saying "pieces of eight". |
| Lady Griffin | I thought this was religious/music topic -now it's turned into A Mystical Experience.
The Kiwi may be a bird but it can't fly and only comes out after dark and it's very shy creature.
Don't blame me for your flickering screen.
It must be Barnsley boggarts.
Me a parrot! Never.Never Never.
Back to the wood heap.
LG |
| Lady Griffin | Actually it's stopped raining and my woodsman is back-Half way up a Himalayan Cedar-about 45 feet-Guessing here cos I don't know how to measure heights with a ruler and shadows.It's got too big for its boots anyway and has to be tamed.Must be a male tree.Whoops!
He has short shorts on and wears a wde brimmed hat.The chainsaw is dangling from a rope at the moment.He does have a cell phone though so if he chops his leg off he can let me know and I'll be flat on my back in a dead faint.
I might say a prayer for him though so this is religious in a way and on the topic.
LG |
| noel | LOL.
I am in fear for him LG, Freddy and the Dreamers used to wear short shorts didn't they? |

Blimey! That's a blast from the past! I used to like Freddie, but I liked Chrlie Drake more - used to put a picture of him under my pillow when I was 3. Probably because he used to say Mr Poo (instead of Mr Pugh) and got away with it...... which is more than I could get away with at that age! [:o)] |
| William R | I remember Frank Randle from about your time Linda. Didn`t he do "Over the Garden Wall" kind of thing, before Les Dawson and him off Corrie tried to revive it? Cheetrs, Bill. |
| noel | Think you may be in trouble on this one William, wasn't it Norman Evans? Way before Linda's time. She'll have your guts for garters on this one, I'll write privately to make sure she reads it. ( not that I'm a stirrer you understand.)8-) |
| Lady Griffin | This guy is quite safe from me have no fear -I'm immune to male charms even in shorts.Sure I remember an early over the garden wall.Before Les Dawson.
There were some pretty terrible comedy turns.
|
| Lady Griffin | I've got piles of branches everywhere if anyone would like to make a quick trip across the world to help me clean up.
Never Never plant a Christmas tree too near a house.Or any tree for that matter.
Not my doing but it has been a pain especially as it's one of those that loses thick thick yellow pollen in the spring.Covers everything for weeks.I think I saw a photo once of Canadian Lakes covered in yellow.
Anyway it's now been tamed.Good job

Which Linda are we referring to? [;)] Actually I have heard of Frank Randle even though he was before my time. Did "The day war broke out" etc. Radio 4 had a little series about him, with Michael Williams taking his role.
And as for you stirring it, Noel, Bill will hold you down and I will tickle you into submission![:o)] |

| Lady Griffin | Since in this religious topic you are all on about early wireless'comedians'who was it who finished off with the song" Enoch,Ramsbottom and Me"
Clue We three in*********e.
I don't remember the names but the sketches.Terrible! like."I've got blue blood in my veins."
"Well what do you think I've got in mine ? Lemonade!!!!"
Sorry folks!
LG
|
| Lady Griffin | Frank Randle-'Get off mi foot'?
I forgive you Linda
LG |
| noel | Thanks to the wonders of Google:-
We three in Happidrome,
Working for the BBC,
Ramsbottom and Enoch and me.
We three are not highbrow,
Just a set of twerps maybe,
Ramsbottom etc. etc.
But who were they?
Remember also Much Binding in The Marsh. ??? |
| noel | Found a bit of noatalgia on this URL.http://pub143.ezboard.com/fwhirligigtvfrm3.showMessage?topicID=123.topic |
| Lady Griffin | [8D]Great stuff Noel.I knew I hadn't dreamed it all.One of the Happidrome three -Harry Korris as Mr Lovejoy used to appear on the Blackpool pier as a clown.

Ooops, sorry - showing me youth again! [;)]
It was Rob Wilton that radio programme was about. Eeeh, in 40 years time we'll be having conversations like this about Peter Kay and Eddie Izzard! |
| noel | I bet that religuous bloke who started this thread off is pleased it's got so many responses. |

Sorry Andy as you see Christianity has once again brought out the "Meanies" which is why I dont consider myself a christian anymore,
Christianity = Bigotry
I follow my own heart.[:)] |
| noel | I don't consider myself a "meany" whatever that is,(there again I maybe [:)]) I just want to have a bit of fun and as far as religion is concerned there hasn't been a lot of fun created by that word in the world. 99.9% of all wars are in the name of religion. I can do without it. |
| Spitfire | Here`s your starter for 10. Name any song other than,` When moaning Minnie moans no more`, sung by Vincent Robinson(Enock), Cecil Fredricks(Ramsbottom) and Mr. Lovejoy(Me)Harry Korris.
The following site lists those , and many more memory jerkers.

I don't think I would know any of those... oops showing my age [:D] |
| noel | Yes I'm glad I don';t know any. My life started at Muffin The Mule and Mr. Pastry. Mexican Pete the bandit. |
| Lady Griffin | How about:Nobody Loves a Fairy when she's Forty-Tessie O' Shea.I can still see her on stage singing that.
Or The Bird on Nellie's Hat-Hattie Jaques or Ours is a nice house ours is:Alfred Lester.
Wish I could send them via hotmail-good fun.
There are so many.
LG |
| William R | I`m with Noel here, but I remember the Pony tails singing "Born too Late" will that do? William R
|
| William R | Lady G, you beat me by three seconds then. Bill |
| skitzy | I can only remember as far back as Andy Pandy, Bill & Ben & the Woodentops, I do remember Hattie Jaques though.
Eileen |
| Lady Griffin | Help! Bill ,
You noticed the three seconds too.
There's no hiding
LG |
| Lady Griffin | Harry Korris wasn't just any clown he was always a Pierrot clown and a very good one.Used to make me cry he looked so sad.
I'm in the middle of tranferring to tape 60 very old recordings by way of an old worn out record player.Taking me ages.Some are too far gone.
Funny how when you retire there is never enough time to get done all you want to do.
There are heaps of songs that I'd forgotten about.
The Old Bazaar in Cairo-Charlie Chester.Sand dance stuff.
The Blasted Oak.Nellie Wallace.
Down in the Field where the Buttercups grow.Charlie Higgins.
One I do vaguely remember-Trains -Reginald Gardiner.He told stories with train sounds.Not very exciting stories though.
And for a bit of class how about Julie Andrews with her parents-age 11 singing 'Pale Hands I Love Beside the Shalimar'
Help I'd better stop.
LG |
| noel | Andy Pandy's still going skitzy but no strings now. Do you remember that woman with the Zyther singing Jimmy Crack Corn, now what was her name...... |
| Lady Griffin | This religious topic's going well.
I remember Jimmy Cracked Corn-my masters gone away-who was the zitherist?
Crazy words a lot had!
Younger people have to bear in mind that radio was all we had for entertainment in the 30's and 40's -no TV though- I understand it was around before the war but shelved till after.
The first TV progam I saw was Peter Cushing in Orwell's 1984
LG |
| Spitfire | Noel - I hate to admit, but I remember the girl with the Zyther. she was called Shirley Abbecare (think it`s the correct spelling). |
| noel | That's the one, pronounced Abbacar , whatever happened to her I wonder. Janet Brown was also very poular in those days ( Peter Butterworth's wife) last time I saw her she still looked 35. |

Sounds like we are the same era, Skitzy.[:)] |
| Spitfire | LOL Martin. Avacab sounds the same. |
| Bill Rigby | "How did we get to this from Jesus?"
By a happy turn of events! I am heartened to contrast the response on this site with not dissimilar sites in the US where 'dumbundamentalists' immediately take over and rant on about 'murdering' "pre-born babies" (sic) and the "theory" of evolution along with other evidence of a their medieval mentality. |
| noel | Pre-born babies? Over here you can buy pre-used cars. I can't fathom out what that means either, similar to an advert I saw today "we are better than the best". Theoretically impossible. |
| Lady Griffin | This Forum is unique, Bill, full of many twists and surprises.Maybe Martin will give me a bonus for that

LG |
| Kath smith | I saw Russell Watson at the Royal Albert Hall singing 'Jerusalem' just to get us back on to a religiuos track. Made the hair on the back of my neck go prickly, what a voice.
Still North End could do with some divine intervention, maybe we could try the Uri Geller theory and all pray at the same time, kick off on the 9th August? |
| Lady Griffin | England playing NZ at netball, just now down 2 games to nil and Rugby -England v NZ on TV very shortly.Complaints from the British camp followers that NZ folk are one-eyed where sport is concerned.Can't think why.I want England to win anyway!
Dark here and so gloomy-send me some of your sunshine.

| noel | And for the first time in 30 years England have beaten The All Blacks in New Zealand. This is indeed a momentous day, that and the queen's unnoficial birthday. Why does she have to have an unofficial birthday, doesn't she have enough things already? |
| Lady Griffin | Everything is all black here, Noel.Pleased for the Poms. I am one-don't forget- so I can use that word.
Enjoy the victory -hope it happens again.If I'm heard saying that I'll be in big trouble.

| Martin | I'm in Leyland at the moment and it's certainly hot here [8D] |
| Lady Griffin | Got up in the dark at 7am and it's still dark at 9 am.
Had an eml from a guy in Angola who in the first few lines wants to marry me-is madly in love with me -name some Juian Almarez-age unknown.
In the second paragraph he wants me to lend a few thousand dollars towards the development of a Diamond Mine he has shares in.
He can dream on both counts.
LG |
| noel | I keep getting the Nigeria e-mails promising me millions if I give my bank details to some solicitor in Nigeria acting for the deposed presidents wife or something. No offers of marriage thank heavens. |
| Martin | Linda, you could ask for a sample from the mines before accepting his offer. |
| Lady Griffin | Don't want to risk it-he may turn up with them.

I think greed overcomes everything under these circumstances. Trading Standards have been trying to nail them for some time now. |
| LDunlop76 | I had 2 identical Nigerian begging letters (oh, pleeeease let me put my dead father's millions into your bank account, blah, blah) within 3 days. Funny how many Nigerian millionaires need to to smuggle their money out of the country, isn't it? |

FROM TONY WILLIAMS
TEL/22507800974.
Dear
pleaseI am Mr TONY WILLIAMS, the only son of
late chief
Fred Williams from Sierra Leone. I got your contact
from the Ecowas Infomation Center in Côte d'Ivoire. My
sources of your contact gave me the courage and
confidence to rely on you. I am writing you in
absolute confidence primarily to seek your assistance
to transfer our cash of eight million eight
hundred dollars ($8,800,000) now in the custody of a
BANK here in Abidjan to your private account pending
our arrival to your country.
SOURCE OF THE MONEY
My late father, chief Fred Williams, a native of
mende district in the Northern province of Sierra
Leone, was the general Manager of Sierra Leone mining co-operation (S.L.M.C.) Freetown. According to my father. This money was the income accrued from mining co-operation's over draft and minor sales. Before the peak of the civil war between the rebels forces of major Paul Koroma and the combined forces of ECOMOG peace keeping operation that almost destroyed my country, following the forceful removal from power ofthe Civilian Elected President Ahmed Tejan Kabbah by the rebels. My father had already made arrangement for his family, my mother, my little sister and myself to be evacuated to Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire with our personal effects and the box containing team. My father deposited the fund for the safe custody until after the war when he willjoin us. During the war in my country, and following the indiscriminate looting of public and Government properties by the rebel forces, the sierra Leone mining coop. Was one of the targets looted anddestroyed. My father including other top Government functionaries Were attacked and killed by the rebels in November 1999 because of his relationship with the civilian Government of Ahmed Tejan Kabbah. As a result of my father death, and with the news of my uncles involvement in air crash in January, dashed our hope of survival. The untimely deaths caused my mothers heart failure and other related complications of which she later died in the hospital After we must have spent a lot of money on her. Now my 16-year-old sister and myself are alone in this strange country suffering without any care or help. Without any relation, we are now like refugees and orphans. Our only hope now is in fund our father deposited in the BANK To this effect, I humbly solicit your assistance in the followings ways. -To assist me claim this fund from the BANK as co-beneficiary. -To transfer this money in your name to your country. -To make a good arrangement for a joint business investment on our behalf in your country and you, the caretaker. -To secure a college for my little sister and my self in your country to further our education. -And to make arrangement for our travel with you to your country after you have transferred this fund. Most importantly. The whole documents issued after deposit in my custody. For your assistance, I beg to concede 10 % of this money to you for your efforts assistance .
Best regards
TONY WILLIAMS and sister

I reckon the weight of one passenger with millions in his back pocket must make the plane unbalanced or summat.....[:o)] |

Now I just don't care people exercise,do yoga -anything to keep moving.

My mind is boggling as to how people find the space to do any yoga on a plane - usually you've barely room to stand up to leave your seat. Do they do it in the aisle or something? |

Do people say that?
I'll keep a watch out next time.There's usually a queue for toilets so don't think it can be there.
There are odd little spaces where you can stretch a bit and exercise-but not in the aisle with trollies trundling down constantly.
LG |
| noel | Every time I have tried to have sex on a plane my wife pulled me off the stewardess. Obviously not worried about me having a deep vein thrombosis. How selfish can women get.!!! |
| LDunlop76 | Sex on a plane?
Reminds me of a joke:
Pilot on plane announces over the intercom that all the engines have failed and that passengers should assume the crash position as the plane will plummet into the sea in 5 minutes.
A woman wails out in despair, "We've only got 5 minutes to live!Someone make me feel like a woman, please!" So the man next to her hands her his shirt and says, "Here, love, iron this!" [:o)] |
| Lady Griffin | Nice One Linda.
Now all the men can retire to their caves after the sex jokes.

I'm a neo-pagan, with a large dash of Unitarian Universalism, and the merest sprinkling of Mahayan Buddism. Clear as mud.
Vaneassa us neo-pagan's don't stand for any bible bashing. We are 'ard us neo pagans. ... What's a neo-pagan anyone?[:)] |
| Kath smith | seems I am of no particular beleif either Noel. Every one of my answeres brought up a different religion. Don't know about neo-pagans but the kids enjoy the neo-pets web site its a virtual world thing with little creatures you look after.

It's an 'N' short of a neon-Pagan - a lit-up dayglo creature! [}:)][;)]
(Noel, if you click on the various religions in your list on the site, an explanation of what the reigion's beliefs are should come up) |
| Lady Griffin | Well it looks like I'm a mainline to Liberal Christian Protestant.
Is that good or bad!

Possibly indifferent, Linda. |
| LDunlop76 | As a matter of interest, can a Protestant be non-Christian? Wonder if there are Liberal Hindu Protestants about, for instance? |

I suppose it depends on what you are "protesting about " Linda.
I'm in an identity crisis here, I thought I was Sagitarius and now I find out after all these years I'm not. I'm a neo-pagan. Umph. |
| Thornley | Noel, is neo-paganism the new 13th sign of the zodiac? [;)]If thats the case I'm not sure which bit of the news paper to read any more[:D]

I've tried all of these things Kath. I must say in general though I prefer mosquitoes to midges, at least you can hear the darn things and they aren't usually found in packs of millions . The only place I have been to Mozzy free in summer ( on the continent that is) is Santorini a small greek island just north of Crete and well worth a holiday for those who don't like Glastonbury type festivals. |

I've never heard of virgin sacrifice by midge bite before [;)] I thought a golden sickle was used..... or was that for cutting down mistletoe?[;)] |

Well, at least it sounds a bit better than Unitarian Universalist. I think that means I have a catch-all religion which believes everything and nothing at once - a mind of pick and mix affair! Instead of COE on the census form, I'll have to put UU...... and you and I both know, Noel, that that should stand for Unseen University [:o)] (It's a Pratchett thing, folks!)
I don't know what I'm supposed to do, religious-wise, Noel. At least you know you're supposed to dance naked round your nearest stone circle every solstice! [;)] |

As long as it's a midge free zone [:)] |
| William R | Noel, Having got a good picture of you at the Eagle, in studious mood, I`m not going to publish it and be damned, but the vision of you dancing round the stone circle at the solstice defies even my imagination. Herself has been on to me to get some postings done and get a bigger total, I have a time limit to achieve it or I get detention.From over the Pennines, Cheers William R.

| Thornley | Noel I have read somewhere that marmite wards off mozzies,(not sure if you eat it or rub it on) maybe you could try this against midgies, do let us know if the theory works[:D][:D]Vanessa |

Maybe if you dance round fast enough, the midges won't be able to catch you? [8)] |
