Cake and wine - sounds a litte... "High Priestess seated on Altar, God position. Magus, kneeling, kisses her feet, then knees, bows with head below her knees, extends arms along her thighs, and adores. Magus fills cup and offers it to High Priestess, who, holding Athame between palms, places point in cup. Magus says: "As the Athame is the male, so the cup is the female, and conjoined they bring blessedness." High Priestess lays Athame aside, and takes Cup and drinks, gives Cup to server, who puts a little in each glass. Magus presents Pentacle with cakes to High Priestess, saying, "Oh Queen most secret, bless this food unto our bodies, bestowing health, wealth, strength, joy and peace, and that fulfillment of love that is perpetual happiness". High Priestess blesses them with Athame, takes Cake and eats, while the Magus gives her the Cup again and kisses knees and adores. All sit as Witches, and invite High Priestess to join them." ...is this what you had in mind?

I agree that the UK is better for all as a whole than for any as a constituent part but, given the short-sightedness/short term emotional arguments that are bound to be used, don't you think the vote will swing towards a yes even though it be motivated by a warped sense of nationalism? After all, if English people were given a referendum now on whether to abandon ties with Scotland, Wales and/or NI, the vote might easily be a resounding yes even though, imo, it would be disastrous for all concerned. No one is going to think straight over the next 18 months and we'll just have a protracted period of Cameron et al tip-toeing around trying not to upset Scots voters (to avoid pushing them into a yes vote) until the whole sorry business is concluded.

Back in the 70s some of the more sought after 5th form girls at our school did date older guys (17-22 maybe) but they were often ex-pupils ... "I thought you were going out with Claire Ashby?" "Nah, she's seeing Tommy Owen's brother" "But he left two years ago" "Yeah. And he's got a Capri" *They sigh enviously.

Once 16 year olds have been allowed to vote on the referendum I presume Mr Salmond would not then take away that vote and that, as a consequence, the voting age in Scotland would fall to 16 on a permanent basis? What would be the point of a 16yr old voting for independence and the SNP only to see another party voted in the following year with them unable to vote? Once they are part of the process you can't exclude them again and once a precedent has been set 16-17yr olds must have a vote whenever the rest of the population does, no? And as this is decided/allowed by the UK government when these 16-17 year olds are still citizens of the UK then I presume people of the same age would be allowed to vote in the next (and all future) UK general election(s)?

Agreed - they are loan sharks. But I don't think they are any less abhorrent in their appealing to those with little money to get further into debt and/or give themselves more problems than the screaming foreign bloke in the Ladbrokes ads or the constant offers of free bets by lovable Ray Winstone or, come to that, the national lottery. Surely you can't think that the majority of people who lose money with those firms can easily afford it? Pawn brokers and cash-for-gold and 'Money Shops' and bookies and I-wanna-buy-your-car-for-fuck-all and the whole pack are a sign that times are hard and there will always be vultures around to pick the bones.

What a load of balls. Do they refuse to shake hands with female officials too then (like Iranian Paralympian Mehrdad Karam Zadeh who refused the Duchess of Cambridge's hand) for 'cultural' reasons? ETA: When Ba was at WH he wore a short emblazoned with SBOBET's logo and gambling is prohibited under Sharia law. As for money-lending well, as has been said, Northern Rock and Virgin Money were in the same business albeit without the loan-shark feel. You'd think the whining geordies would just be glad of some cash - and that St James' Park gets its name back.

Billhooks to a league table, I've had 5, 6 and now bloody 4 points. I even got a vote of confidence from Tony Fernandes in a PM. Re Bale's dive - I agree with Mick Mac - when I saw it I actually thought he was taking evasive action as he saw the challenge coming in. Did he appeal/scream/hold his leg like a wounded git? If not it can't really be a dive can it. If a player doesn't seek to get something from the ref then going down without contact is always open to wider interpretation. Suarez is a bit of a clown but Wellbeck is still this season's top diver so far. Re BFS; I think he has always been a route-one blockhead as a manager and he has bought Jarvis and Carroll with that in mind.. BUT, there is evidence that even he has realised that that, in itself, is no longer enough in the PL. That coupled with the criticism from WH fans (that he pretends not to mind but really annoys him) has led him to lean more towards a passing game (when he thinks it'll work, i.e. not against Arsenal et al) and WH have played some attractive stuff this season - more than I thought they would anyway.

Milo may be no more use as a through road CS, but suely not as pointless as Cyrena Rd. Walking along it the other week from Silvester Rd, cutting through Pellat, Rodwell and ending at Heber Rd, I was struck by one thing. The lack of any adresses on the entire rd. There are doorways onto Cyrena but only from the sides of houses whose addresses are Silvester/Pellat/Rodwell or Heber, but no houses of its own (even though I'm sure some of the residents/subletters put directions in their address such as "entrance in Cyrena Rd."). As such it can't really have a purpose except as a 'cut-through'. It can't be anyone's official destination. Wonder what would happen if you posted a letter to it?

PeckhamRose Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > But people > who end their sentences with so... Grrrrrr > > > So... I take it you are differentiating between 'so' and 'so...' (or the even more irritating 'so-o...' with a musical inflection). In some parts of Ireland the former is an indispensibe way of communicating when one has reached the end of a sentence. Jayz have ye never been to Cork so? -

We've been Penged.* Bring on the ED Nandos and let's make a fight of it. *From Urban Dictionary - To be "Penged" - a grudging acceptance that Peckham and Brixton are out of one's (ED's) league and that Penge is the true oppposition.

Has anyone, at any point, on this thread suggested that it is/was? I believe petty annoyances are far more likely to trigger uncontrollable outbursts of violence/mayhem than 'serious' issues and I fear it is only a matter of time before these twits have me someone with no self control going postal. Try having an idiot come up to you and shout in your ear whenever they feel like it and see how laid back and tolerant it leaves you. seriously. *I should add a student-radical-type dub track here to make my point - just hum 'Missa Luba' in your head a few times and you'll 'get me'.
