can Keef's heaven beat the FSM's heaven where there is a beer volcano and a stripper factory? Who cares? Let's just go to both where I'm sure there'll be a pool table and Man Utd will be in the Rymans League

"by the power of Greyskull" (which I believe is the one true power)

is there anything other than "shockingly stupid "psychics""? ;-)

the old playground question: "Are you a Benny tied to a tree?" "No" "Benny on the loose! There's a Benny on the loose! Runaway""

And I for one think that's great, I've tried homoeopathy, acupuncture, colonic irrigation, aromatherapy, meditation, heck I'm even a qualified hypnotherapist and it's all about making people feel better. Positive thinking (as was mentioned before). ps just coz I've tried them doesn't mean I would necessarily recommend them

one of the points made was that people who try and establish facts about a subject through reason, science and most importantly evidence should not be accused of being narrow minded. People in the programme who took tests and were proved wrong continued to believe that they were correct such was the convictions of their own belief and, dare I say, narrow mindedness.

you can transfer one player a week without losing points, after that you lose 4 points for each transfer. You can move players around in your own team (sub on and off) as much as you want without a penalty.

jennyuk and felixyy for spamming SusieCram and Danna (same person) for posting false messages about a local therapist Ursula Parker for being a fake person who was recommending a photographer (she was the photographer) FatHappyChappy, AfricanQueen and mfzx4aw1 for being the same person (but their fourth persona is still allowed) and of course crazynurse for being a mental liar [edited once] to correct spelling mistake

you mean CRAZYNURSE, who threatened the forum with legal action because someone said she was a crazy nurse. Despite that being the username that she chose, she claimed to have the backing of the royal college of nursing lawyers to close down the forum, and when we asked her to arrange a meeting between the forum and the lawyers she said stop harassing her. She was lying and threatening and lying about the legal action so she was banned.

forgot to say my mum's a reiki practitioner too, it makes her happy and there's nowt wrong with that.

didn't mean to offend but they're not ignorant comments, I have looked into it and as I see it there's no proof it works. It made me laugh once when I told a friend of mine (a reiki master) that my mum had twisted her ankle and she said she would remotely help heal her from 100 miles away. Brilliant! Anyway we should all watch the first part of the two part series tonight on Channel 4 at eight o'clock. [edited once]

The Enemies of Reason on Channel 4, Monday 8pm I would encourage people to watch it, it's Richard Dawkins finding out about alternative therapy. Hopefully it will make others astounded that the NHS recently spent ?20 million on refurbishing the Royal London Homoeopathic Hospital. Hmmm, got cancer? Let me hover my Reiki hands over the sore spot and I'll make it go away.

"INCOMING!"

it's mentioned in the Lounge on this thread but I'll thought I'll mention it here too. There's a ED Forum League on the Premier League's fantasy football game, it started on Saturday but it's not too late to join, here's the details: "You are invited to play in the Fantasy Premier League called EDF. If you aren't already playing the game then you can register at http://fantasy.premierleague.com Once you have logged in and entered your team, click on the 'Leagues' link you can find on the the right of the page. Now enter the code 716563-145253 to join the private league." good luck good luck

good night had last Friday, sorry I didn't get to speak to more people. I'm posting this tentatively on this thread to get some feedback before I announce properly: The birthday's going to be on Friday 21st September (is that ok? There's nothing else happening that night is there?), and we need a venue. Does anyone know somewhere that can hold about 50 people? What about upstairs at the Magdela? I'm going to send out an email to the 1,423 registered users telling them about it so there may be a few more than 50 and I'd like to try and get some local companies to sponsor it (i.e. put some money behind the bar and buy a cake). Any thoughts, ideas and suggestions gratefully accepted.

I'm not saying don't address the situation, I'm just saying act rationally and effectively rather than freak out.

but I am grateful that no-one's been shot

or we could remember that this has happened only a few times in the last year in East Dulwich (as I recall) and they were by kids and a scag-heads doing robberies on shops. Fortunately we're not in a gun crime hot spot and there haven't actually been any shootings, touch wood, but it may happen. Shootings happen really infrequently and we should appreciate that and not freak out when something like this happens

I have met gangsters in the past and subtlety is the best approach apparently, although hectic-ness is best for security van jobs and when the old bill are coming on top.

it's because robbers don't actually walk in places shouting "everyone get down this is a robbery, move and I'll shoot your face off", they walk up to the counter and quietly say something like "give me all your money, act calmly and don't act raise the alarm because I have a gun". No-one else in the shop will know.

although the forum's birthday falls on the 18th September and I'd like to suggest we roll the celebration and drink into one on Friday 21st or Saturday 22nd... Hopefully we could get some sponsors and a willing venue too... we can discuss tonight over a drink or two

and as the rapper Fur Q once said, you gotta shoot people to get respect from people but you can't shoot all the people because then there'll be no-one left to respect you.
