To be fair, America definitely didn't create god. That came much before.
To be honest (that old chestnut) I was merely pointing out the irony of "Thou shalt not kill" and Mrs Trump and co disagreeing. The rest is how you choose to see it.
That was part of my point, mate. Without doing the "God" bit, there's a serious conversation with a lot of nuances, whichever side of that conversation you support.

I don't think people like Donald Trump give a shiny shite about God... But God sure is a useful tool to use to enforce your views on a population

I doubt it B.B. You either believe or you don't and politics won't affect that, or the reverse. Political mind changing can happen for many reasons but few will be affected in the least by religion or Mrs Trump. I think in a roundabout way that was more or less my original point.

The dangers of social media don't need pointing out here, mate, we've been reading your posts for getting on 20 years!

Do I seee the Four Horsemen of the Apocalipse in the waves here, or is it just imagination running riot? :wink:

My computer is knackered so I'm changing it tomorrow. Hoping I won't have to do a Houdini act in which case I may have to re-join The Totters forum. Fingers crossed.. :oops:

Had a pretty decent run up until now. But finally been caught by the missus uncommunicated "Plan in her head at Christmas."

I saunter down scratching my balls only to find shoes and coat all ready. How did everyone else fair? Still going or already sunk?

Absolutely livid. Its resulting in quite a bit of food waste and lost sales. It is going to cost them quite a lot of money in lost business as I'll be dropping them now. Will be winding down with a bottle of something red tonight :D

Rang in the new year by watching the cars floating around in the morning and waiting to be rescued by the fire service. I was one of the lucky ones though clearly

Two days of clearing out, a mates sofa, pleas for help with tip/post office visits and a travelodge Im now at my parents before I move to London, hopefully on Sunday. After two days of camaraderie I am now, frankly, exhausted.

We've had few rough pubs in Bolton in my lifetime: The Rocket was just one, The Flying Shuttle in Farnworth, once named the most lawless pub in England, The Griffin and Wood Street Club in town amongst others. When the local police chief was asked why he didn't close them down, he said it was because they always knew where to find the villains.

Not really something to be proud of.

I'm from highfield and over Christmas was talking to my dad, apparently my grandad worked behind the bar at the shuttle for a time.

Just seen this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwGWw7PLT10

Ironic, it ain't in it. One might say hypocritical if one dare: King Charles and Queen Camilla, our English royalty,(who have upheld the rule that no Catholic will ever be Monarch since Henry the Eighth ) Having pizza with Pope Francis at The Vatican. Is Charles thinking of buying a Lamborgini ? :wink:

Fcuking dogs in pubs. Preferably under the chair rather than across every bastard aisle with 3 foot of lead.
