I learnt everything I know in the university of life. I found it much more useful than gaining a degree on the lifestyle of Australian Eskimos, or some other such nonsense.

So! all you lads who don't like women and think that they are inferier, as in the bible, send them to me, I love 'em. But Lot was Jewish, so nothing to do with Christmas. "Goodwill to all men" is from Luke, who was very definitely pro-women. So it's either a mistranslation or it means &qu...

George Jenkins

why goodwill to all men (not the women?) There seems to be some debate as to whether this should be "to men of goodwill". The original Greek, according to this website, is: Δόξα ἐν ὑψίστοις θεῷ καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς εἰρήνη ἐν ἀνθρώποις εὐδοκίας and the Latin translation: et in terra pax hominibus, ...

Agreed, why goodwill to all men (not the women?) on one day a year? Whats the matter with the other 364 days? Bah! humbug.

I would like all killers who kill for the pleasure of it, and killers in progress of burglary, to be killed in the same manner as their victims, and long may they suffer. Show it on television so that I and the many will feel a bit safer. I think that might overload the schedules a bit, and the cam...

In my house they shall have none. So why is that? Why does one person forfeight all human rights as soon as they set foot on some bit of ground which you're arbitrarily designated to have purchased? Don't you think those kind of rights (you know, the inalienable ones) are a bit more basic than the ...

Wow George is that you? Like the avatar - you're fit! Hello ;) ;) Yes Lesley, that's me in 1952, twenty four years old, and the youngest Engine driver on the Southern. My problem is that I still feel like a twenty four year old. last year I was twenty feet up five conifer trees, chopping the tops o...

He's seen a fire through your window. He's the chap who sold you the house, now suffering from dementia, and he still has a key.

Yes, that's right George. I've got something in common with Frank Larkin! As for Apterous, to each your own.

I'm sorry, Sue, for insulting you personally. In future I will endeavour to avoid making things personal, however much I disagree with you or anyone else on some factual point, because it never gets us anywhere, and also I imagine it's fairly tedious for anyone else to read. I'm sure that you will ...

Hi, George! I'm sorry, but I was feeling a little depressed at the time! I did add someone else from here as a friend, though! By the way, how come I don't see you on Apterous very often? It's because I feel sorry for the people that I've bored to death on these pages. I thought that they deserved ...

My cure for this behaviour is to burn the churches of all denominations, and make these religious nutters work for their living. I agree in principle, George, but burning them is a waste of resources and increases pollution (as, no doubt, does removing small children from the priests' "care&qu...

Paedophile priests eh? Kind of over-shadows hand ball in the kick in the teeth stakes. It's o.k. Sue. After each rape the Priest will pray for forgiveness, and he knows that the lord will forgive him. Of course though, if he believes that it's normal behaviour to rape children, he wont need to pray...

There's something wrong when someone calls herself an Englishman but doesn't like England's greatest game (well, our greatest game since we used to think cricket was our greatest game anyway) . I was going to argue with you Derek and say that professional football is not a game, but a money making ...

George Jenkins

Are football haters, generally sport haters? The best football match I've watched on television was the Ladies finals. I was suprised at the skill demonstrated by these Ladies. I can't remember if they kissed and cuddled each other when a goal was scored. Some years ago I watched a group of retired...

OK, being on the BBC website does not make it proof. Anyway, in case it escaped your notice, I was being more than a little tongue-in-cheek there. Yeah, I got that - I was just trying to ask if you knew if it was actually true or not, because I was interested, rather than as some subtle way of sayi...

This is the thread for forum members who either have no interest in football or hate football to post their comments and/or opinions. Apart from me, I can think of Gevin, Joseph, Phil and Sue who are not at all interested in the "beautiful" game. So roll up, one and all - don't be shy. Fo...
