  • Hard News: The witless on the pitiless,

    My kitchen is in my mind but my mind is in the kitchen sink.
    I have, however, been described as out standing in my field whilst I would rather be loitering within tent.

    Ahh, Religion.

    I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said "Stop! don't do it!" "Why shouldn't I?" he said. I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!" He said, "Like what?" I said, "Well...are you religious or atheist?" He said, "Religious." I said, "Me too! Are you christian or buddhist?" He said, "Christian." I said, "Me too! Are you catholic or protestant?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me too! Are you episcopalian or baptist?" He said, "Baptist!" I said,"Wow! Me too! Are you baptist church of god or baptist church of the lord?" He said, "Baptist church of god!" I said, "Me too! Are you original baptist church of god, or are you reformed baptist church of god?" He said,"Reformed Baptist church of god!" I said, "Me too! Are you reformed baptist church of god, reformation of 1879, or reformed baptist church of god, reformation of 1915?" He said, "Reformed baptist church of god, reformation of 1915!" I said, "Die, heretic scum", and pushed him off.

    I usually have a document called "macrons" on the desktop of whatever system I'm on so I can cut and paste :-D

    That Knowledge Bro Link works like a dream, well the sort of dreams you get when updating Windoze (click, click, fumble, go back, click, swear, re-boot, wait, make cup of tea, have liedown)
    I now have instant macrons for writing Māori stuff, thanks Bro.

    The steps to adding the Māori keyboard (soon to have screenshots!): – Click on the Apple in the top left and open System Preferences. – Open Language & Text.

    Would that be a "Magic" Laptop? can't find an Apple on mine.
    With regard to Osama, I thought the whole bollocks over the death certificate had been sorted, oh, hang on, it gets so confusing.
    Anyroad up. Looks like the good Ol' Team America has shifted from world cop to global assassin

    Early Tuesday, NATO warplanes launched their most intense bombardment of Tripoli in weeks. They blasted at least four targets, including the sprawling compound that houses the Gaddafi family

    Do these American thugs have no shame, don't bother to answer, it is self evident.
    Meanwhile their unquenchable thirst for power is Poisoning the Well Literally.

    Also, a small, but important point; you keep misspelling "Māori." The macron is not optional.

    So, run a popular website for half a dozen years and write a billion words a day of well thought out commentary, for no cash reward, then ask for contributions. not very good at these "Get Rich Quick" schemes are we Russ?.

    I hear he makes good coffee

    Actually, when I think about it he may just about have broken even on the amount of his Whiskey I have poured down my throat.

    ETA Never mind. Neither the time nor place for my irritation.

    You can probably get an ointment for that.
