I'm going to give up having sex with beautiful young women.

Shouldn't be too difficult as I haven't had any of that for years.

I'm afraid many believers gave up... to read what "Lent" is all about. This is to help them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lent

..finding Brinsley amusing..... (actually that's a lie- I've never found him amusing). Truthfully I'm going to follow in the steps of my moslem neighbours here in Lapta and give up bacon sandwiches - which is what they do for ramadan.



Goodness - I hope the PC police don't come down on me for this!

I don't know you and have no wish too either. I notice you are another email flasher so god knows what you've got to hide, plenty no doubt. If you want to start trading insults be a man and stand up where you can be seen, you big girls blouse!

Mr Brinsley - message 25. You appear to have a 'downer' on folks who choose not to post their e-mail addresses; calling them 'e-mail flashers'. Now, in my book, a 'flasher' is someone who 'shows' something, rather than the opposite. However, can I ask you why you refer to people who do not agree with you as 'e-mail flashers', when you choose NOT to pick up those who DO agree with you and yet still do not show their e-mail addresses? Please see message No. 26.



An honest response (for a change - and not one of your 3 week absences) would be appreciated. However, much as you would probably like it, I won't be holding my breath.

Brinsley, Brinsley, Brinsley............................



Are you totally unaware of the old expressions "People in Glass Houses Shouldn't Throw Stones" or "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen"? Jetski, message 19, dared to say he did not find you amusing. For God's sake man, there are many people on this forum who have said your sense of humour evades them. I merely pointed out to you that you have a 'thing' about members who do not show their e-mail addresses, who you appear to pick on all time, mostly accusing them of (rather dramatically,in my opinion) being "Greek (Greek?) infiltrators. Now, I merely pointed out to you that you appear to be quite selective about who you choose to point out as "e-mail flashers" (as I've already said, I cannot quite see the logic in your comment). It strikes me that if anyone dares to disagree with your point of view, you immediately on the defensive. Surely, you should at least be consistent? i.e. treat all those (cont'd)

(cont'd) treat all those who hide their e-mail addresses in the same way? I find you arrogant and condescending. I also find the way you refer to us Brits as "Poms" somewhat offensive. Of course, I appreciate that it is not necessarily rude, but surely a little out of date when you do not live in the Antipodes.

With regard to your comment re: "Old Mother Wicks", etc. I shall treat that with the contempt it deserves. I will not stoop to making personal remarks about you, but I will say that I believe you do yourself no favours, with your sometimes , very crude remarks. I don't think you like any form of confrontation, because, for some reason you cannot rise to the challenge.
