Hey is A2K a little bit f***ed up at the mo, or is it me?
Okay I've got to take my motor to the garage this morning. Bye.
The guys in the garage, who are from Cyprus and fine fellows all, fixed my motor without charge.

This evening we're going to see the production of "King Cotton" at the Lowry.
The critics panned it, so this may be a poorish idea.

wande's ID thread, my principle port of call, has over 172,000 views. When you are the main participant in a debate thread with numbers like that I might listen to your rantings. It wouldn't surprise me if it isn't an all time record for a debate thread.

Is it still my thread? I would say it is now
your thread, spendi.
What does your guru training consist of, splendiferous?
Do you have to hang brass weights from your balls, starve yourself, abstain from sexual congress and onanism, until you achieve a zen state until you come over all guru-ey?
I'm very curious...

It's your thread wande. Always was, is and always will be. You are its Creator.
Actually I've dreamed up an argument which I think proves that only ID is science and that science no longer is. The trouble is that it is somewhat long and I'm trying to work out how to render it into short enough to be acceptable both to myself in writing it and to viewers reading it.
Would ya get a room on the I.D. thread please, you two?
And tell me more about your guru training, spends.

Ahhhh...
Transubstantiation...
Takes me back to the convent.

Have you gone all aloof now, spends?
Now you is guru in training.
x
SPENDS!
You know you are going to get teased over it!
Face it like a pre-guru now.

How can I gain enlightenment?

smorgsie-
I don't know what a guru is either. Whatever it is it would studiously avoid the mechanisms you suggest although I do so understand that a Lady Guru might think them useful for her purposes.
It struck me that what Mathos is up to is the equivalent of climbing a staircase of a thousand ridged treads on his knees in order to arrive at the door of a Guru to have his arse caned.
My guru is Sanchez Panchez (Sanchie to me.) No work, soft beds, pots of ale and voluptuous women. The last being the easiest to do without as Germaine Greer said.
Mathos betrays our evolutionary set up. He's a bloody rate-buster. He encourages people to behave in the precise opposite way to that needed to save our nation. He's in favour of all work, beds of nails, abstemiousness and sweet monogamy. Just like Gordon Brown. If they made Mathos a traffic warden they wouldn't need Council Tax.
Well blow me down with a virgin's fart. I hadn't noticed. It sounds better than veteran though.
How could you not notice?
I noticed as soon as I logged on!
Thought to myself: 'that jammy bugger's a f@cking Gnu in training?'
Did you ever see Sophia Loren as Dulcinea in Man of La Mancha?
You must allow further teasing, 'til I'm bored of it.

maharishi,
I was looking for something that I wrote to you a long time ago (to take you down a guru peg or two). I put (in search) keyword: spendy, author: Smorgs. You should see the repartee, it's so funny. I had forgotton most of them, but there are some classics like 'spendy, I love it when you come over all human'. What surprised me the most was how affectionate towards you they are, no matter how much of a tw@t you're being, and you got the nerve to say I've no softspot? And you're such a bastard to me in some of them. Why?
x
Are you having your tea?
What do gnu's eat?
Chips and egg?
With two rounds of Mother's Pride?
Maybe a bit of brown sauce?
x
Just wait 'till mathos and muckty find out!
You're in for it...
x
Do you remember that song: 'I'm a Gnu'?
Who sang it?

It's a bloody comic book, that's why you plonker!

THE GNU SONG
(Michael Flanders / Donald Swann)
Flanders & Swann - 1960
A year ago, last Thursday
I was strolling in the zoo
when I met a man who though he knew the lot.
He was laying down the law about the habits of baboons
And how many spines a porcupine has got.
So I asked him:
"What's that creature there?"
He answered, "Oh, it's a h'Elk"
I might of gone on thinking that was true
If the animal in question hadn't put that chap to shame
And remarked, "I h'aint a h'Elk, I'm a Gnu"
"I'm a Gnu
I'm a Gnu
The g-nicest work of g-nature in the zoo
I'm a Gnu
How do you do
You really ought to k-now w-ho's w-ho's
I'm a Gnu
Spelt G-N-U
I'm g-not a Camel or a Kangaroo
So let me introduce
I'm g-neither man or moose
Oh g-no g-no g-no I'm a Gnu"
I had taken furnished lodgings down at Rustington-on-Sea
Whence I travelled on to Ashton-under-Lyne it was actually
And the second night I stayed there I was woken from a dream
That I'll tell you all about some other time
Among the hunting trophies on the wall above my bed
Stuffed and mounted, was a face I thought I knew;
A Bison? No, it's not a Bison.
An Okapi? Unlikely, Really. A Hartebeest?
When I though I heard a voice...
"I'm a Gnu
I'm a Gnu
A g-nother gnu
I wish I could g-nash my teeth at you
I'm a Gnu
How do you do
You really ought to k-now w-ho's w-ho's
I'm a Gnu
Spelt G-N-U
Call me Bison or Okapi and I'll sue
G-nor am I the least like that dreadful Hartebeest,
Oh, g-no, g-no, g-no,
G-no g-no g-no, I'm a Gnu
G-no g-no g-no, I'm a Gnu"

Just for you smorgsi!
