Secondly you need to learn how to spell "independent". Thirdly if you want to link to an accurate account of the shooting in question and, on the basis of the known facts, discuss how the Metropolitan Police were justified in shooting an innocent man and lying about it after the fact knock yourself out. But if you are just going to pull random bullshit out of your arse whilst doing the whole "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH BIT", the rest of us will be justified, I think, in concluding that you are a bit of a dick.

Let me know if you need me to explain any of the long words. Ta-ta now.

Lucky for her she didn't cark it that day, or she'd have been buried in a plastic bag, upright in a hole dug by a post hole digger, with no service at all.

I have calmed down somewhat now.

this MUST be saved. from the 2014 Ship in Preview:

February 1st 2014

A Styx thread is started complaining about the software. Spike rolls his eyes in exasperation.

February 23rd 2014

A Styx thread is started complaining about the software. Marvin starts drinking.

March 8th 2014

A Styx thread is started complaining about the software. Kelly punches a puppy.

April 29th 2014

A Styx thread is started complaining about the software. Tubbs punches through a wall.

May 18th 2014

A Styx thread is started complaining about the software. RooK bites through a steel girder.

June 1st 2014

A Styx thread is started complaining about the software. Alan Cresswell utters a mild obscenity.

July 12th 2014

After a week-long break during which the Ship is offline, the long-awaited software upgrade is finally revealed. The new boards are faster and more resilient, the new fully-integrated Cafe is a marvel of user friendliness, and the search function actually works even for Oblivion.

July 13th 2014

Six different Shipmates start threads in Styx complaining about how crap the new software is and how much better the old system was.

July 14th 2014

The Admins, in a fit of exasperation brought on by having to deal with all the bloody moaning, resign en masse. The six complainers step into the vacant Admin roles.

July 21st 2014

The new Admins finally realise what they've let themselves in for. Two delete their own profiles just to escape, one is sectioned by his concerned family after ten straight hours of rocking back and forth in a chair mumbling about trollpuppets, and one features on the late-night news having attempted to destroy the internet itself by bombing AOL's corporate headquarters. The remaining two resolve to track down their predecessors in an attempt to get them to take over again.

September 30th 2014

The only former Admin not yet located, RooK, is found in an armoured bunker just north of Barquisimento, Venezuala. On being visited by a delegation seeking to get him to return to the Admin role he expresses a mild unwillingness to do so. There are no survivors.

November 9th 2014

After being visited by a second - more cautious - delegation, RooK admits that he was just kidding about the whole "not wanting to return" thing and says he'd be delighted to come back. There are no survivors.

November 20th 2014

The original Admins make their triumphant return to the Ship. Over the next few weeks they painstakingly work to repair the damage caused by the four months of misrule.

December 16th 2014

The boards are back to normal.

December 17th 2014

A Styx thread is started complaining about the software. There are no survivors.

Because she knows.

Just once, I wish we could keep the anger all going in the same direction without allowing ourselves to be sidetracked this way.

Before Dafyd posted this there may have been some who did not understand the expression "friend of Dorothy".

And the Holy Spirit came upon Jonathan and he prophesied that there shall be a woman. And she shall sing a song of a rainbow, and there shall be somewhere over the rainbow, and that somewhere shall be a land that the woman shall dream of; and the birds shall fly over the rainbow, saith the Lord. And David and Jonathan did admire that woman greatly.

Wonderful description of God from Kelly Alves:

I don't know what heresy I might have been spouting, but I once burbled in my high school confirmation class that I thought God was never-changing and ever-changing-and I used the ocean as a metaphor. The ocean is always the ocean, but it is also always moving, striking the shore, changing the beach, pulling stuff back into itself,claiming life, generating it--always changing. The Pastor just looked at me like, maybe Cromwell had the right idea about heretics, and went on as if I had said nothing.

SvitlanaV2 on silence in church:

My impression is that most church traditions are quite uncomfortable with worshipful silence - although they don't try to cut down on 'dead time' during transitions from one activity to another.
Abso-fragging-lutely dammit!

Uriel made me smile today: My main role is househusband, which I love and gives me a lot of satisfaction. But it isn't on the list because although it is a lot of work and many, many people do it, it isn't paid.

In a way I like my job sneaking under the radar. It means the government doesn't introduce OFParent, and send failed parents with clipboards to my house to measure how badly I am doing.
