Thanks Amazon.
Go buy some seasickness tickets man! Sturgeron is my preferred brand - they saw me through the Plymouth/Santander trip no botherPirahna wrote: Sat Feb 24, 2024 8:13 pm Just had an email from Brittany Ferries, because of adverse weather conditions my sailing from Santander is leaving early tomorrow. That'll be 24 hours in the cabin trying to avoid being sea sick.
Toughest job in the world. Do you know how hard it is to travel on the Clapham omnibus, day in, day out, year in year out. Just waiting for somebody to ask your opinion? Having an opinion ready on every subject under the sun? That man deserves your respect.Count Steer wrote: Sun Feb 25, 2024 10:56 am...
* You can add c) reification. Generalisations like 'the people', the 'man on the Clapham omnibus', 'the taxpayer' etc etc etc.
It's lovely,dry and sunny weather here for about a week,but the council have slarried salt everywhere. They deserve a good,authoritive hoof in the cojones.
I've often wondered how it works when the vicar asks God to forgive his trespasses the way the vicar forgives others.the_priest wrote: Mon Feb 26, 2024 3:53 pm Been ticketing cars in the private church car park that have been taking the piss with parking there all day and stopping our church members and hall users parking there when they have things on.
One fellow came to the vicarage door when I was out and complained to my son, who told him he did not know anything about it (which is true as it has nothing to do with him). I saw that chap this morning and he asked if I owned the land, and I explained that I am licensed to this Benefice, which means that it is under my authority and within my remit to control what happens on the premises. I had to unzip my jacket and show my clerical collar for him to believe me.... I don't like playing hard ball, but sometimes you have to lay the law down firmly, if politely.
Had someone else who just wanted to park for "half an hour", when there were spaces in the council parking right outside. He did move on though and was polite. Going to put a barrier at the entrance to the car park and lock it.

Does the church have a parking-enforcement division? Do you have to pay with prayer and pilgrimage or is it one strike and straight to hell?the_priest wrote: Mon Feb 26, 2024 3:53 pm Been ticketing cars in the private church car park that have been taking the piss with parking there all day and stopping our church members and hall users parking there when they have things on.
Nope. Hell is a free ticket for those who don't want salvation.DefTrap wrote: Mon Feb 26, 2024 5:29 pmDoes the church have a parking-enforcement division?

Have you considered masturbating less?gremlin wrote: Mon Feb 26, 2024 6:44 pm The last couple of days have had me doing fiddly stuff up close. Just out of curiosity and frustration I picked up a pair of Mrs. G's reading glasses and, lo and behold, clarity and focus was there!!!
Guess that means both my long and short sight is fecked now.
Ah, the joys of age.
I'll have you know, young man, that any nob-related action havsbeen off the cards since my op. I have ball sacks the size of pumpkins at the moment.
