Among anti-Semites and paedophile giants?

Brilliant trip, that one. "Shake a tail feather" at half-time, "Happy Birthday" for Sir Bobby, fucking off back to Cologne as soon as humanly possible and getting on the weird 200ml beers.

Just out of interest, what was it that changed your mind?

Bump, just in case this got forgotten on the last page.

aka the John Terry defence

Yeah they are, they're just different people to the ones you tend to encounter on here. You're a sheep.

Damn. Shatter my illusions, why don't you?

That's exactly my point, you wonderful, irony-averse thicko. You see "us" as one entity, The Group-Thinking All-Accepting Enemy, when "we're" nothing of the sort. You just need a big bad straw man to rail against otherwise your entire worldview would fall apart.

This is the fundamental flaw in your mindset. You think that "we" never question things. "We" do, and frequently. "We're" just not mental like you.

You can prove anything with evidence.

Bloody evangelists.

I blindly and 100% agree with you.

Well obviously

For pasta (any type, though spaghetti works well): while it's cooking, hoy a couple of gloops of olive oil into a small frying pan. Once it's heated, chuck in some crushed garlic and some red chillies (either deseeded/chopped fresh ones or crushed dried ones) to taste and cook slowly for a couple of minutes - the garlic wants to be golden but not brown. Pop your drained pasta back in the saucepan over the lowest heat, stir through the oil/garlic/chilli mix, then serve once nicely coated.

I'd understand the difference between a voluntary fundraiser and an employee, for a start. You clearly don't.

What if they bring in 500,000k the charity would otherwise not have had?

The temptation is certainly there to reply "Sacked in the morning, you're getting sacked in the morning..."

That's a far calmer reply than I'd have been able to give to this ignorant dickwad. Well done.

So you're saying technology hasn't progressed between 1972 and 2012? Strange position to take.

I and some friends drank wine and danced like willies to Eurovision classics at the "Second Cherry Song Contest".

So I just got this e-mail: Now I'm sure I will return the second payment, if only to stop them from hassling me as they undoubtedly will if I don't (although it pains me to reward an organisation for their own incompetence). But I was just wondering, more out of curiosity than anything else, if anyone knows what the legal situation is in terms of whether I'd technically have to? I suppose it'll be buried away in the terms and conditions somewhere, but whether that kind of thing is enforceable or not...

I was going to come up with a reply of my own, but it turns out I blindly and 100% agree with this one.

Everything involves a certain degree of faith, yes, be it based on weighing up the probabilities and likelihoods or whatever else. Why can't you just get over that? Because you're convinced your faith is better than everyone else's. So basically you're a religious fundamentalist, and there's no point in even engaging with people like that, because they aren't capable of a rational, two-way conversation.
