Mark, thanks for posting those, it always makes me smile and a little sad when you post such beautiful pics of home. Bristol is so far from the sea

More Beautiful PHOTOS at the very tip of mainland Britain
by Celtic inearlier on this evening, i packed sarny's, took a bottle of drink with me, camera and headed off to the far west to the cove at porthcurno, one of my particular favourite stretches of coastline around here, porthcurno is the place from which the very first transatlantic cables were laid from connecting the uk to the usa.
just to the left of the very pretty cove, with the finest possible sand is the incredible and visually stunning minack theatre, a 750 seater amphitheatre carved straight from the cornish granite cliff from whence the views are staggering, next on to lands end via polgigga and trethewey, a few miles after which the setting of the sun between cape cornwall and lands end itself.
the lighthouse picture is the longships, with the scilly isles in the very far distance, beyond that is the usa, i waved to you all from here, the most westerly point in the country.. as per usual to enlarge pictures, click on them, they only take a second or so to load, then hover your cursor over the bottom right side and if a directional icon shows up, click again to make even bigger.. hope you all enjoy them as much as the pleasure i had earlier this evening walking by myself these cliffs and sands.. hugs to all you ruddy balmpots!

Canucks: Cut The Ties To Britain
by RAYZORBLADE infor we canucks, the old ties to britain still linger, with no benefit whatsoever to us.
time to dump the monarchs/monarchy.
for pomp and ceremony we parade the royals when they come here, and i don't think...they...are paying their way.

I have the Queen in my coins yet I am not able to work in the UK. Screw the royals.
Its a damn sight harder to emmigrate to Canada from the UK than it is the other way round - hence we are going to Australia
Most people in the UK want a republic as the days of grace and favour are an anachronism we can well do without. I really think that when the queen dies we shall see a major overhaul of the monarchy as Prince Charles seems to be alot more switched on to how people feel about the over priviledged. Charles has an independant income from the Duchy of Cornwall and I would not be surprised if the civil list shrank a great deal when he becomes king. As for Canada, it makes perfect sense for you to ditch the monarchy and stay in the commonwealth.

A Real Education versus Most Complicated Watchtower Study
by Celtic in.
i wonder looking back, here we were sitting through all those meetings week in week out, month in month out year in year out like some ruddy prison sentence, and we had to put up with listening to the most convoluted and elongated dribble / drivel possible, and some of those watchtowers and books in the 70's i recall as a child were dreadfully complicated, the parents running it past us over and over and over and over and over til we finally got the point and could explain it backwards, which perhaps might even have made more sense.. but there were a few articles which stand out as being particularly weird thinking, yes, even amongst the rest of the absurdities even, can anyone here recall any, those outstanding achievements in most complicated watchtower studies or book study chapters?.
the comparison then with my school mates getting a completely unbiased education, a real education whilst we / i had to put up with that bollocks makes my blood boil.

and mixing with alcohol can make you puke. A little is ok but if you are heavily stoned then its best not to drink more than a beer or two.

Ok, I'm stoned right now and its real mellow. Depends what sort you smoke, it can be heavy and sleepy or manic and buzzy. I like a little of both.
You can mix with butter on toast, that works just as good. Hitting the bong is ok if you dont do it too often, I can remember the hacking cough I had at University from daily use.

Jealousy
by Stefanie indoes anyone have a problem with this, or have a problem with their mates being like this.
how do you know when your mate is cheating and when is it enough?
do you forgive..do you stay???.

I have cheated in the past and find that I am more wary of innocent actions than I would have been had I never cheated. It sort of is worse when your partner cheated on their ex to be with you

the best is cookies because as mentioned it absorbs in fat rather than water. When eaten the body converts cannabis into a compound about 3 times stronger than when smoked but does take an hour to kick in. It is a lovely smooth high though when you eat it with a mellow lead in rather than the immediate hit when you smoke. I smoke regularly and would recommend eating it if you are not a smoker as you avoid the carginogens released in the smoke - all smoke includes tars which damage the lungs and promote cancer.
As with all things, if you know the risks and proceed carefully and with open eyes then you will be safe.

Cornwall is absolutely lush, its a well known fact that if god wasnt a Cornishman then he'd have a holiday home in St Ives.
Seriously though, I can relate to where Mark is coming from. I moved away 5 years ago because the cost of living was so high and the wages so low. I'm currently planning to move to Oz within the next 3 years because I dont want to raise kids in the UK, it really is falling apart and people dont give a toss about each other any more.
