who the fuck's worrying??!!

The Rt. Rev. Paul Richardson, assistant Bishop of Newcastle, a.k.a. Chicken Little. He's the one who wrote the article.

Even though it doesn't really read like one, I'm assuming the Right Reverend's article is a guest op-ed piece and not specifically meant to be dispassionately objective journalism.

I'd like a plate that says SUCKITJESUS and I live in CA, so maybe I can get one.
Oh that's right, I live in the prop 8 state, so maybe not.

my mate has aplate that quite by accident has DNA for the last 3 letters- I want that one!!

I also worked with a psychiatrist for old people for a while and he had a special plate that said TIA

Captain Relativity · 06-30-2009, 02:24 PM

TIA as in Transcient Ischemic Attack? Old people like me get those. Hell, I've probably had a few myself.

psychodiva · 06-30-2009, 02:26 PM

yup - my mum has had a few - and that was all he seemed to deal with so he had the number plate made - typical dark humour of psychiatry I'm afraid

Really? Why is that?

According to one article I found:

Quote:

Moreover, many Europeans continue to harbor a bias against air-conditioning; some consider it unhealthy, while others say, why not rely on nature?

What is wrong with you people? From what I have read you don't like ice in your drinks, you take your beer warm, and now this?

32 C?

Don't ever come to Texas in the summer, you delicate flowers, you.

We just had a "cold front" yesterday, where temperatures dropped to around 32 C. Last week we had 38+ C every day (with some humidity).

How Texas was ever colonized before the days of air conditioning, I have no idea.

Just one small lump of ice is quite sufficient to lightly chill one's Drambuie without watering it down too much, or destroying all taste.

Real beer should be served at circa 10 degC - which is easily achievable in most cellars without artificial cooling.

38 C

That's not a temperature - that's a healthy bra size.

How the hell would you know? That island has never had any hot weather.
What you hate is warm weather.
