So there isn't a pint of cool wet grass kicking around then? Sadly mate, you are right....otherwise I would be out there right now and bundling up all the soggy grass at the end of the garden and despatching it around the world to areas of trouble and strife!

Just to prove I can never get the point of all these deep and meaning(yuk)ful threads:
1312 used to be (still is?) the Albert element of the Falklands Gulag - lots of cool, wet grass there.
1310 was (in 1996 when I last went there) the wokka element in Bosnia. Which in winter time could also be very cool and wet, but I remember the low-cloud-covered-hills and pylons more than the grass. Must've been smoking the wrong stuff, then.

Some of you f*****S must have nought better to do than bla bla bla all day!
Why aren't you out there fighting wars and killing terrorists?
I notice that "beagle" has recently stopped his massive number of posting now post numbers are no longer visible.
I am sure he's got something to say on the subject once he has no doubt spent more of the tax-payers money f*****G around on his office pc digging up obscure facts about regulations regarding the folding down of the "chip-hat" in inclement weather, etc.
Are you a homosexual?
Speaking of homosexuals, where is "Cristopher-Robin"
It takes one to know one!

I will not be bullied into silence by 1312 or by you. Nor should any other Pruner be squeezed out because they disagree with someone who chooses to be rude to them.

Don-kiesdik , Tw*t.
Everyone else find a small grassy hill and roll down it ,fixes everything.
Although it will probably end up as a race between christians ,athiests, satanists (there ya go TD) etc . Sadly the amount of passion this issue raises will always have the same result .
I think I must have somthing wrong with me as I just can't raise a passion about somthing so intangible as religion even in a crowd in an evangelists tent as a child I was unmoved by the out pourings of the masses.
Mind you I have been haraunged by the God squad at work when they find out I am an Atheiest. Took to flying with a copy of the teachings of Buddha , The book of Mormon and The Gideons stuffed in my bag , that way I always had somthing for eveyone

You Christian types seem really stressed out. If the wet grass isn't working you should try the Jedi way, its much more chilled out. As Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi once said: The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. Do. Or do not, there is no try. See its simple, who could go wrong? Its even a recognised religion in the UK!
Donkey's penis - or whatever your name is - I'm not sure quite why I've invoked your wrath? Incidentally, I always wanted that stupid post-counting thing removed.
Regarding religion - private belief is one thing, ramming glazed-eyed 'born again Christian' rubbish down your mates' throats is quite another!
TM has some very valid points - one of the God squad to whom she refers took it upon himself to be the self-appointed censor at a couple of well known VC10 detachments and would throw away any 'girlie' mags (even FHM didn't escape his attention) and destroy any VHS tape with which He didn't find favour....
With ar$es like that around undermining morale, it's not surprising that the God squad get a rightly deserved bad press!
Incidentally, 1312 Flt is based in the Islas Malvinas and has a VC10 and a C130 on its strength. Both of which are NOT needed!!

Don't want to be a pedant, but I believe that it was Yoda that said that Alf.
As for religion, don't really know, but as has been said it seems to get everyone hot under the collar. TM & 1312, think you should kiss and make up, I don't believe that either of you are @rses, therefore I can only conclude that there has been a misunderstanding of each others points of view (not trying to be patronising).
Myself, not really religious, but I can't help believing that if there is an almighty, it would not be happy with us fighting about its existence, or butchering and murdering each other over semantics. I can only conclude that humans (and males in particular) cause wars, not religion. Religion is just a convenient excuse, the underlying cause of war is human greed, whether that be for Power, Money, Oil, Territory or Physical Dominance.
Just a thought.
"and how can man die better, than facing fearful odds, for the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods"
If Horatius could see us now.

Just to be pedantic, 1312 currently has a VC10 and a Nimrod, neither of which are needed.
If the C130 returns next month, and Group get away with sending the J model they're trying to send then I guess the VC10 won't have to be a K any more? Or perhaps we can just have it back altogether and put jugs on the etc...

Beags,
you are being far too modest about your prodigious (spelling??) output. Number of posts is STILL on your profile - for those too idle to look, Beags currently (290818 UTC NOV)has clocked up 3183 posts! Cor.

Gees Mistress - so much bitterness.
Let me try and make it real simple for you - if you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen OK.
You started the thread, took some unpalatable incoming and then threw your toys around before bogging off home with the ball and a sense of humour failure.
Too bad.
Get off the bleeding heart bandwagon - nobody's that interested.
Just state your view and deal with the disagreements or keep it shut.
Better still - just grow up and stop being so repulsively offensive.

If you are soooo disinterested, why bother commenting at all?
Why don't YOU shut it, huh
I wasn't the one who started offensive comments. I wasn't the one who started the bleeding heart stuff. I wasn't the one who started throwing toys around. I was just demonstrating to 1312 that he's not the only one who had a tough break. That's fair!
If you are going to make criticisms - criticise the right person. Or are you just another male bully who gets a kick out of trying to shove a woman around?
You and the others who have made comments about "can't take the heat" seem to have missed the fact that I AM actually still here taking the heat - and holding my corner!
I didn't want this kind of stuff, on a thread started by me, getting up Danny's nose
As I said - if 1312 wants this kind of discussion he can have it, on HIS thread. I don't see what your problem is with that.

Distress - sorry, Mistress er, minor point but this IS 1312's string!! 
Also, I din't say you were the only one taking incoming but you are the only one getting quite so bitter and twisted about it!
Am I another 'male bully' blah, blah, blah.... ?
So, no stereotyping there then eh Distress???
However, if you will mellow long enough to rediscover your feminine side I will happily join you in a double or three.
Just to demonstrate the answer to your question is a resounding no.
Some of my best friends are women!!!

The original thread started off well and deteriorated into a slaggingfest, this one started off a slaggingfest and deteriorated into boring sh*te.
Can we get back to the original subject so that TM and 1312 can repair to their corners to fix teddy bears ?
