Now that you mention it, I rather fancy your liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

No - I don't think so. All Christians (even vegans) are supposed to take communion - even if only symbolically. Otherwise they're not true Christians. What sort of Christians were you thinking of?

Is that what brought on the asterisks?

I TOTALLY agree!

I mean if it were like 8 or 9 people there is no way I'd do myself in for that!!

Anything over ten is cool though.

;-)

I think when push comes to shove most people would do anything to survive.

We live in a very insulated society and most people seriously believe that events like genocide happen to 'other people and not us'.

I'm not so certain how far we really are from all that.

We just kid ourselves.

Add some cheese & a few "hail bloody marys" for a Sunday hangover picnic

These days I think it behoves us all to take along some Ryvita breakfast biscuits when travelling by plane over the Andes or hiking in the mountains, so that we don't HAVE to eat each other. That said, I don't think you can slit the jugular and drink the still-warm blood of a biscuit.

Hmmm...how far would you go if alone, if with a loved one or with strangers...


If I knew there was no other option, I might consider cutting my arm off but being an optimistic type usually, I think I'd probably hope that someone did come along to my godforsaken spot and wait until I was too weak to actually survive cutting off my arm and die anyhow...


Plane-wise - I do count the seats to the emergency exit and if in a window seat with people who don't look like good survival candidates in the aisle rows, I have amused myself by figuring out the best route over the top of the seats to avoid being stuck behind them. :-$

Usually in an air crash they are sweeping up tiny bits and pieces from a three mile radius, and in the case of the Lockerby crash it left a crater deep enough to drop a four storey block of flats.


The idea of hopping across the backs of seats to beat everyone to safety is unlikely.


When there is an investigation following a crash, most of the time is spent working out who died first and what the order of death came to the travellers for the sake of insurance companies.

    • I think the family is a valuable soft power. When Zelensky was humiliated and bullied in the White House, he was at Windsor for tea the very next day, which sent a powerful message. Same when the king visited Canada.  I think even republican states and their leaders do revere the idea of a royal family and all the pomp that comes with it. Being able to dangle a second state visit invitation to Trump, who requires subjugation by flattery, affords us a not insignificant amount of leverage.  Their supposed apolitical stance does give them a valuable platform to advocate for causes, for example for climate change, domestic abuse, homelessness, etc and maintain visible relations in the UK with different religious and ethnic groups (charles has been v good at this).  The more the family can visibly separate wealth from power, the better. I think some of the the ways the duchy of cornwall makes its money is repugnant. For eg, if it's going to lease land and property to the NHS and MOD it needs to be peppercorn, not for profit. There's a lot of sketchyness around the duchy, and any scandal seems to disappear in a matter of days, which demonstrates the frightening power the palace yields. If William really wants to make the family above reproach, his family and estate has to be squeaky clean and it simply isn't  He and his father also needs to go one step further and pass a government act so the rogue's titles are truly stripped, not just in abeyance. There's still more scandal to come and they'll need to be even more ruthless  
    • Julian built me a fitted wardrobe, I was really pleased with it.  Quick work and he was really flexible about what I needed, made it exactly to my requirements which was great.  lots of excellent advice.  Definitely recommend him for any carpentry work.
