The true Britishness Test can be passed by those who have watched Monty Python, Black Adder and Fawlty Towers. The only other alternative is to prove absolutely you have read LoR and Hitchikers Guide. I learnt this when first moving here in 1985. To become part of the society, i had to work hard and...

Need to change the thread title to "Parsimonious idiot dies of stupidity." When his face started swelling and his head began to ache, Willis went to the emergency room, where he received prescriptions for antibiotics and pain medications.

yes, I know what the scientific method is. But science does not have all the answers, (physics a damn good example of divergent theories that defy logic, but are perfectly viable).

My friend Randy Ping from the defunct RDF comes to mind when that kind of atheist is ev...

Normally, i ignore it. But tonight I must have supped tooo much of that heady brew. :pr1: I'm so glad I'm...
