Yeah, but it gets expensive if you're a Godfaring type. Of course, Agnostics travel half-Godfare, and Atheists don't have to pay at all. Mind you, you're supposed to kneel when you pay, and you have to say the Lord's Payer or something, but I've never understood what buying tickets at a Cricket ground have to do with religion. Maybe that's how they ended up with bats in the belfry and all. Of course they don't have that problem in the U.S. where TV evangelists urge you to pay when they're on the ox. Apparently, if you covet an ox, you can end up in Hell. They tell me God put it on a tone tablet, but I don't believe it, and tone tablets don't taste half as good as they sound.

I went into my garage yesterday and found it was full of garage.

I found 3 adders in mine.

I'm glad we've started posing in this game again, it went quit quit for a few days.

Probably due to Thrax's massive pot.

I think fundamentalist Christians shouldn't take the Holy Bile at face value.

How can astrology be an ancient belief if its predictions depend on the positions of planes? (Chalky) Your bum.....?

That I feel is too general, sir. Surely it was based mainly on the constellations they saw lying about in the sky?

What about the myth of the cow who jumped over the moo?

[Chalky] You were clearly posing on the wrong site, here.

The Americans refer to The Plough as The Big Dipper. They're entitled to, of course, because it's in the constellation of USA Major. (Duj) You can't see it down there, can you? It's still going round. :-)

Quite correct, Rosie. Nor do we see the dogs, ta for the reminder. Which is partly a lie, as Orion and his dogs sit almost on the zenith during our summer and makes a great centre piece between the Hyades and Pleiades - what a wonderful sight that can be!

All this interest in SARS isn't healthy.

Indeed, as Galileo said - 'keep your feet on the round'.

I'm a regular visitor to London's airports since I became interested in astrology, which is all to do with the movement of the planes.

If you go to the observation galley, you can watch the planes taxing.

Indian supermarkets are great; they all have a New Deli.

I see Euro 2004 has been won by the Geeks.

yes - the sunned Portugese cant believe it. (no Goa for them)

Yes, they could not believe the result of the math.

And no doubt that sore will haunt them for years to come

They're a funny lot down in Kent. But not to worry; it's one of the traits of Dover.

Whilst it may not compete with your 'funny lot' have you ever been down to check the ties along the Severn?

People are quite proud of our dull rainy weather because it is often accompanied by status cloud.

Read any good books lately? I'm just finishing William Golding's biography of Jeffrey Archer, "Lord of the Lies".

No, but I have noticed Bill Clinton's new book "My Lie". I also remember that the Israeli PM, Golda Meyer wrote a book under the same title which I always thought quite ironic.

I thought I'd tell you how laborious arithmetic used to be but nobody wants to read a logarithm tale. (Softers) Nice one(s).

I am blessed with three given names. Given that my father was a surveyor and lay-preacher he was obviously well versed in trionometry. (For those not up on their latin - trionometry - three names without measure.)

People are less foul-mouthed in the hot weather because they wear less. It's f****** hot today, though.

Standing on a crowded train, its the seat that makes you really uncomfortable.

French broadcasting is vey poor - the only have Radio Fou.

Years ago I used to like to listen to the irate radio stations.

On Tuesday our local supermarket was affected by a large food.

A soldier in military hospital was discharged from the war the other day.

[Plump] Visiting my local supermarket today, I was taken aback by the number of ears, rapes and Orangs on display.
