That's the drug taking, sexed crazed, Christian rock festival? No, unfortunately - I could get arrested for being too old....

[hXc]

Not quite aye.

C'mon there must be someone who's going!

[phantom]

My youngest daughter is going. Blimey I must be old:crybaby:

[hXc]

My youngest daughter is going. Blimey I must be old:crybaby:

How old is she?:shifty: :innocent: :blip: Haha!

You can't be THAT old can you?

[SimJen]

If its got wet t-shirt competitions, I'll go ;)

[hXc]

If its got wet t-shirt competitions, I'll go ;)

Nah it hasn't but usually they have what's called a pump tent. It's a tunnel which shoots water at you and all the girlies in white tops:blip:

[SimJen]

Ooh, nice. Im not into religion or anything to do with it........but things like that make it almost bearable :)

[hXc]

Ooh, nice. Im not into religion or anything to do with it........but things like that make it almost bearable :)

I'm a Christian but hardly go to church (Up to 10 times a year sort of thing) and I can't stand people that preach and force their beliefs upon other people. That is not what it is about.

Parachute, surprisingly is not all that Christian. Yes, you can go to seminars or certain stages etc where people 'preach the word' but you don't have to. You can keep totally away from those parts and still have a great time. For me, Parachute is not about God or Christianity. It is about one hell of a good weekend filled with music, mates and good times.

I might have to re think giving you that ticket boy.. Haven't you heard anything your father told you- if its got tits or tyres, it will send you broke!

[hXc]

I might have to re think giving you that ticket boy.. Haven't you heard anything your father told you- if its got tits or tyres, it will send you broke!

Well I can't get water in my ear so I stay away from that anyway. In the day I just lax out at the tentsit 'cause there isn't anything else to do and it's too bloody hot!

[yungatart]

I believe you-not!

[hXc]

I believe you-not!

Why ever not! I'm a very truthful person and I do not perve at girls. Never have and never will!

I hope you got the sarcasm in there

[Marmoot]

*looking around for Zed*

ZED? ZED!?

[hXc]

*looking around for Zed*

ZED? ZED!?

If he is to attend...I will throw him in the river. You better be paying me good for this job though.

[Lou Girardin]

Does it have drunkeness, illegal drugs and babes wanting to set a new "hooking up" record?

[carver]

yea-uh pm me before the event, like 10 days or something, i will get it sorted.
i have been there a few times, the time before last was a intoxicated, coma'd out crawl, but its best if you go sober (cant run far when security are after you!)
the most outstanding thing about parachute is how much the waikato times hate's it!
no shit, if any of you go, save the papers till your back and have a read, its so full of shit!:wacko:

[hXc]

Does it have drunkeness, illegal drugs and babes wanting to set a new "hooking up" record?

Drunkeness - No
Illegal drugs - No
Babes wanting to set a new "hooking up" record - Quite possibly

FINALLY! I'll give you a PM and we can sort it out. Look forward to it. I'll even wear my KB shirt so you can spot me.

[Lou Girardin]

Doesn't sound like much fun then. I'll pass.

[carver]

yeah,its best if we meet somewhere first,it sbuisy as, me and my girl should be there.
:stoogie:
look forward to it mate:puke:

[Scouse]

Sounds like it will be "really really nice" if yer a limp dicked wanker thats only into holdin hands

[phantom]

How old is she?:shifty: :innocent: :blip: Haha!

You can't be THAT old can you?

Yeah I saw that coming. I am doing my best at keeping her away from bad bikies and the like:Police: but she does want to get her bike license, bugger. And yes I can be THAT old ( how about having an 8 year old grand daughter you whippersnapper you )

[hXc]

Sounds like it will be "really really nice" if yer a limp dicked wanker thats only into holdin hands

No not really. No drugs or alcohol. But otherwise it's just like most other music festivals. Do what ya want with your girlfriend - within legality etc etc.

You sound like a limped dick wanker actually. Oh no, now I see. You ride a Kawasaki...

[hXc]

Yeah I saw that coming. I am doing my best at keeping her away from bad bikies and the like:Police: but she does want to get her bike license, bugger. And yes I can be THAT old ( how about having an 8 year old grand daughter you whippersnapper you )

I'm not a bad bikie. How about me having 3 nieces and a nephew, I'm 14 and I became an uncle at 5. Oh and my parents are both younger than you

[Sketchy_Racer]

i 'was' going to go, but due to finacial issues i cannot !!! :argh:

maybe next year hopefull.... i went to last years and the two years before that and it was awesome,.... other than me getting seriously food poisoned :oi:

[bane]

If he (ZED) is to attend...I will throw him in the river

Im sure Zed has already been baptised, but its very christain of you to offer

[dawnrazor]

BAN IT, its too noisy and its seemingly inocent christian ideals are toxic to a generation. Bring back satanism, at least they wear theirs agendas on their sleeves, all be it the newly libererated hearts of baby goats is neither here or there.

[inlinefour]

But I do not expect that I'll get the chance.:mellow:

[hXc]

But I do not expect that I'll get the chance.:mellow:

It's not that expensive for what it is. I mean it's like $120 for the ticket and it's for 4 days. It'll be really cool if you could make it though

[Brett]

People who have to get smashed to have fun ALL the time are pretty boring company when they are sober...
I was gonna go, btu am getting married in Early Feb, so had other stuff to do. Plus i cant fit a tent onto the back of the bike...and ill be buggered if i have to drive the car...even tho it makes nice sounds.(engine, not stereo)

[Velox]

Yep - I'm heading up and taking 30 kids with me (and a few people my age)!


Parachute's totally what you make it. Personally, I love all the God stuff. Heaps of people that aren't Christian have an awesome time there too though. Depends if you can handle the idea that you're going to a 'Christian' event.:whistle:

Awesome! When I met you on Sunday I just knew that you had to be a youth leader of some sort! Fuck I'm a good guesser! I'm Christian but I would still go even if it wasn't a Christian event.

Maybe we could catch up there

[emaN]

Plannin' on going...
also why i posted a thread needing a vanin the "online trading" threads; taking some youth up there..
Velox = enjoyed watchin' you give it some welly on the trackday! was wondering who it was..

[Jabez]

I'll be there volunteering with parking.....:)

[Velox]

Hah - funny! Why did you think that? Was I running around enthusiastically making people play games, or having big deep and meaningful chats with people about why they weren't out on the track or something? That's cool though.


Eman - we use Piggy Packers and they're a pretty good deal for vans. Don't know if they have a Rotorua branch or not though.

[hXc]

Hah - funny! Why did you think that? Was I running around enthusiastically making people play games, or having big deep and meaningful chats with people about why they weren't out on the track or something? That's cool though.

Nah. Just something cool about youth leaders. Easy to talk to etc etc. Some older people are real arseholes to younger people and it's pathetic. You're really nice though. I'll shut up now. I'm making a dick out of myself. Haha

[Momentum]

i live about 10 mins away from it so i think i might pop out for the sat afternoon on the bike becasue i will have to work the morning.

the times i have gone have been really good and the music is grate.

LOVED THIRD DAY last year.

both my olds are over 50 and they go out each year for one of the nights

if there are any kiwi bikers out there i would be keen to catch up and meet some of you guys if i am out there this year

[Velox]

Thanks hXc! ;)

It would be cool to all meet up at the cafe in the Villiage at some stage eh cause it sounds like there's at least 5 of us going. How about the Sat afternoon if that's when you'll be there Momentum? (Yeah - Third Day were awesome eh).

[hXc]

I love Mumsdollar!!! And I'm soo stoked that Anberlin are going!!!

Yeah that sounds like a good idea. Have a chat in the cafe over coffee or something.

[ktulu]

Sorry, Haven't read this thread, just wanted to let everyone know that I reccomend this festival....


Reason....


Well I lost my viriginity there back in the matamata days :D

[hXc]

Hahahahahahahaha! You going this time?

[ktulu]

Na I'm not actually, think its a good thing for the most part, being non christian I enjoyed the few years I went when I was at school, fairly safe enviroment and a fair bit of fun had.

Hope its great fun

[Momentum]

Thanks hXc! ;)

yeah sounds like a plan to me we will have to trade some phone number i think to try and meet up with everyone

[hXc]

yeah sounds like a plan to me we will have to trade some phone number i think to try and meet up with everyone

Sounds like a bloody great plan to me! Trade ph numbers and we should all wear KB shirts so it's easy to spot eachother I reckon.

So there is hXc, Velox, Momentum and possibly Eman. Anyone else?

[Momentum]

i dont have a kbers shirt ay

[hXc]

That doesn't matter. As long as at least one of us has one so we know where to go..."Oh there's a KB shirt"

[yungatart]

Buy One?? A late Christmas present to yourself?

[inlinefour]

It's not that expensive for what it is. I mean it's like $120 for the ticket and it's for 4 days. It'll be really cool if you could make it though

Its the getting the time off from work. If I can swing it I'll bring the trail bike up with the camping gear in tow. Will let ya know if Im coming.:scooter: BTW, when is it?

[NotaGoth]

inline if you go then i'll go!

[WINJA]

if he is to attend...i will throw him in the river. you better be paying me good for this job though.
ill direct credit $5 into your bank account if you throw zed in the river or do other demeaning stuff to him like down trou, im good for it ask speedmedic

[inlinefour]

inline if you go then i'll go!

and sadly its a no go. Bummer, cause I would have loved to have gone and met up with everyone:grouphug: and enjoyed the music.:first:

[Silage]

I was thinking of whipping up on the bike (was there last year) but it is a bit of a mission from Chch just for 4 days. Also, Delirious are a pretty cool band, but I didn't see much of the others that swung it. So at this stage I am no-go but could change my mind later if it is realy tedious at work.

It is a great event, no matter what your persuasion. Plenty of "take it or leave it" and "get involved or not" as you choose. Most people who were there seemed quite normal - don't think I saw one who was clutching a bible with a vacant stare skyward. Definitely worth staying a coupla days if you can rather than just bouncing in and out for a day. Last year there were around 25,000 there so it is hard to find someone even when you know what they look like.

[Holy Roller]

Sounds like a bloody great plan to me! Trade ph numbers and we should all wear KB shirts so it's easy to spot eachother I reckon.

The HR clan is looking at going this year, just the kids went last year.
The last one I went to was the last one at Matamata really enjoyed "Pillar". My boy gave the cd of Amberlin for chrissy, they are going to be awesome. Now to get time off work to go.

[froggyfrenchman]

So, did you pick me as a scout leader then? coz i was for just over 2years:niceone:

No paedofile jokes please

[Highlander]

Had thought about takin the kids through, went to the Shelterbelts at Te Puke (the pre curser to Parachute) when I was a teenager. They used to bring in a big name band from over seas as a headline act. saw Rez, Whitcross, Darrell Mansfield - whoa, has anyone else just lost 20 years??

Working Saturday and Sunday night shifts pretty well rules it out though.

Have fun you guys.

[emaN]

Warr - he he...will do! will send you a PM to make sure you know

Holy R - enjoy the w/end; was hoping to get there,but we didn't have enough youth to take over...next year?

[sels1]

Drunkeness - No
Illegal drugs - No
Babes wanting to set a new "hooking up" record - Quite possibly

Now I was told from someone who would know that there is more condoms sold in the Waikato (mostly Matamata) on Parachute weekend than any other time of the year. :shit:

[speights_bud]

Sounds like a bloody great plan to me! Trade ph numbers and we should all wear KB shirts so it's easy to spot eachother I reckon.

IM GOING LALALALA! bet ya didn't know that, are ya camping with us or not bro? will need to know so i can grab us a camp site coz we will get there earlier than you're lot!
pm me details on the final list of people going, i would have a kb shirt to wear but it hasn't arrived yet and it was prdered last year!! :doh: it should be being printed and on its way right now.... hopefully.

[Velox]

Now I was told from someone who would know that there is more condoms sold in the Waikato (mostly Matamata) on Parachute weekend than any other time of the year. :shit:
Yep that happens when the population of a town is multiplied by a few hundred percent.

[hXc]

pm me details on the final list of people going

I don't think I will aye 'cause I'd still have to 'report' back to my camp site and stuff. It'd just be a hassle. I'll catch up with ya sometime while we're there though.

Yeah mate, will do.

[Momentum]

ok who ever is going pm me ya cell number and i will get hold of peopel if i go out on saturday

[Velox]

ok who ever is going pm me ya cell number and i will get hold of peopel if i go out on saturday
How about we just say that we meet Sat at 2pm somewhere in the Villiage and grab a coffee or ice cream or whatever. Where's a good place?

[Momentum]

i dont finish till 1 pm at work on saturday

[Quasievil]

How about we just say that we meet Sat at 2pm somewhere in the Villiage and grab a coffee or ice cream or whatever. Where's a good place?

My place is a good place :apint:

Dawnrazor,
hXc is 14. he's poured his semi-literate drivel on me in PMs too because he didn't agree with me. Actually, it wasn't even his fight.
and he's a drummer.
enough said.

K

[Velox]

Momentum - what time would you get there by?


Quasi - cheers mate! :niceone: I'm not riding up though cause I'm in charge of a whole lot of young uns that we're taking up and so I'm in the vans with them.
But we could pop around for a coffee or whatever if one of the KBers at the festival could give us transport out to your place? Might be a bit of a mission though.

See how ya go, I dont mind a van load of younglins turning up. 021 400731 drop us a line

[Big Chim]

How was parachute this year Ya'll, didnt get out there myself.

[yungatart]

Aaah , Road rash- its still going! I am sure hXc will tell ya all about it tomorrow-expect him home this evening, but on past experience, I'd say he won't be online tonight, but desperately trying to fight the urge to sleeeeep, having had about three hours all w/e. I did hear that it was very hot there.hXc made his usual trip to the hospital-not enough fluid/salt and ended up with severe cramping...this time, tho, he got it over and done with early in the proceedings-Fri night- so he could just kick back for the rest of the time, knowing he'd got that out of the way!

Man thats a pretty servear way of hitting the weekend. I thought it finished Mon morning. All good, wont expect to see those guys online for a bit then while they recover, hahaha

[Velox]

Just got back tonight. Met up with Momentum, hXc, Speights_bud, Holy roller and Darkninja so that was real cool. Good to meet you fellas properly!! Mate - the heat though!!! Woah. Gotta say that I love Wgtn's wind. Had a great time though - the music, shops, worship times (with the bands) and just the general shinanigans.

Quasi - sorry I didn't get in contact mate - I had 31 others in tow so popping over would've been a mission and a half, and I don't have a car licence so I couldn't go into Hamilton for the afternoon. Having a chat under some decent shade with a cold drink would've been really good though! Next time eh.

[Lou Girardin]

* All those mindless Christians in one place...where's a cruise missile when you need one*:stoogie:

It would never reach the ground. The concentrated righteous joy in the Lord emanating from the multitudes would keep it in a permanent hover

[Highlander]

* All those mindless Christians in one place...where's a cruise missile when you need one*:stoogie: :spudwhat:

As to be a Christian you have to make a conscious decision, I would have thought "Mindless Christian" to be a contradiction of terms.

[Velox]

Btw if any of you guys that went (or wanted to go but couldn't) haven't got a Parachute cd, I've got a spare one so let me know.

[SixPackBack]

:spudwhat:

As to be a Christian you have to make a conscious decision, I would have thought "Mindless Christian" to be a contradiction of terms.

A poor decision...once made the dusty book does your thinking for you.

What is it about this site and Christians...bugger off freaks:yes:

[MSTRS]

OI SPB - off to 'that' thread with you.:hitcher:

[Cookie]

My daughter went along to this with a bunch of her friends (notice how I did not arrange for her to meet any of YOU GUYS) :chase:

Some of you might have picked up already that religion is not my thing, but she had a really fantastic time - so each to their own I guess. It sounded like a great event.

[SixPackBack]

OI SPB - off to 'that' thread with you.:hitcher:

Good point MSTRS this drivel should be stitched on to the scottish thread......mods do your shit!

[hXc]

Well I had a great time with a little more than 3 hours of sleep. 4.30-7.00am 1st night, 3-7.00am 2nd night and an all nighter on the third. Was great to meet up with a few KB'ers and put names to faces.

Did the usual crazy stuff - carved a water melon and chucked it on my head, met randoms and made new friends whom I'll never meet/talk to again and on the last night with the allnighter: we sang this song Little White Pony from midnight-6am. So any of you who were there who are wanting to bash any of them - bash me 'cause I kept it going for the last 2 hours!!!

Did any of you guys go to the Sex, Drugs and Rock n Roll seminar? I saw the sex and drugs part which was really good. The singer from Day Of Fire talked about his drug experiences. He's done just about everything out there and been to jail and had mates die from drugs and stuff. He's clean now and has found God but he had an interesting take on things. He said that he has been touched by God and he believes fully in God but doesn't believe in any "man-made faith" as such. He doesn't want to be told how to live his life by a book. It was quite scary really because a lot of what he said I agreed with. He's been out in the world and done all the stuff and he knows about it even though he is only quite young. It was cool.

The mosh pits were great this year. Everyone watches out for you and I fell over a few times and got helped up and asked if I was allright. One time I wasn't -I had cramp and couldn't stand up- so this random took me out to the stands and sat me down and said to me "I don't wanna miss this so I'll wait a couple of minutes or so and then go back." I got myself to the hospital and they told me to eat more salt and take a rest for a while.

All in all I had a great time, met a whole lot of new people, most of which I'll forget but one I won't:hug:, moshed a lot, yelled/roared/screamed a lot, lost my voice and hopefully I'll go back next year.

[MSTRS]

Good on ya, young fella-me-lad.
THAT is what Parachute is about. Good times, good music, good friends. All in a safe environment. Very little to do with religion aye.

[hXc]

Well a lot of people go for the Religion but I don't. If it weren't a Christian festival then I'd still go. I have no problem with the Religious part of things but it ain't my thing. I believe in God but I don't place myself in any "man-made faith". I have been brought up a Catholic, have been to a lot of Baptist things, hang out with Presbyterians(sp?) and went to 'chute this year with Anglicans.

[Velox]

and on the last night with the allnighter: we sang this song Little White Pony from midnight-6am. So any of you who were there who are wanting to bash any of them - bash me 'cause I kept it going for the last 2 hours!!!
Aaaargh - you little mongrel!!!! :bash: MSTRS - whack him around the head for me. I heard that going for hours, every time that I semi-woke up! Actually, I wasn't too worried cause I slept through it anyway.


SPB - I can't wait to meet you mate. I want to see if you'd actually say that to my face or if you just hide behind your online persona. I tried to go and meet you at Taupo but it turned out to be another 40ish something KBer with a yellow gixxer (sorry mate - can't remember the name). Next time eh.

Hey Velox......I will not back down on telling you exactly what a load of SHEIGHT cults and religious beliefs are in person regardless.
Or anyone else on the site.

[hXc]

Aaaargh - you little mongrel!!!! :bash: MSTRS - whack him around the head for me. I heard that going for hours, every time that I semi-woke up! Actually, I wasn't too worried cause I slept through it anyway.

We found one of those big plastic things they have for barriers at concerts, roadworks and stuff like that and 2 people held it, 1 person got on it and they played rodeo.

Eventually that got boring so we were using it as a drum. The security got annoyed and took it away, so we found some wheelie bins and bottles and they took the wheelie bins away. So then we started drumming on the ground with our hands and other poeple filled up the water bottles and squirted us all(after 4 hours you get pretty hot) and then the security took our bottles off us...So we found other bottles and another tap close by because the security were blocking the one we were using.

I don't see why they took the bottles off of us because we could have been drinking them. I asked for the empty bottles back and he wouldn't give them to me. I think they were trying to hint us to shut up but it didn't work. We weren't breaking any rules, although people were probably getting REALLY annoyed.

They finally moved us to the village for the last 40 minutes. Then we had a countdown from ten, I hugged the girl next to me who was helping and being an absolute legend and on one...I'll stop here 'cause parents won't like it:love:

Anyways...It was bloody brilliant. And hopefully it'll happen next year too!! Maybe 8 hours:done:

[Holy Roller]

It was great to fit faces to names finally and catch up. Had Jabez say hi, great to talk mate. Catch ya at the Westpak Run.
Had a great time pity that Anberlin didn't go off but Day of Fire sure rocked.
I was still catching up with friends on the last day, thats what its all about, friends and great music with seminars to challenge.

other poeple filled up the water bottles and squirted us all(after 4 hours you get pretty hot) and then the security took our bottles off us...So we found other bottles and another tap close by because the security were blocking the one we were using.

The kids at the family tenting area had huge water fights every day, they were left to it. I was impressed by their behaviour.

Exactly! I don't know why we couldn't!

Hey Velox......I will not back down on telling you exactly what a load of SHEIGHT cults and religious beliefs are in person regardless.
Or anyone else on the site.
Fair enough - you're entitled to your opinions. But there's a fundamental difference between targeting the 'cults and religions' and the actual people involved. Most people can disagree with certain groups and what they stand for while also maintaining some level of respect and basic social skills for the individual people.

With camber like that, you could take it at about 300kmph+ maxed out in top gear ...if it wasn't for all the traffic. :bleh:

Cults/Religion are the people involved without one the other would not exist.
The clearest analogy I can give that you may understand is the following:
Imagine if every time you came on your favourite biker site images of animal/human sex where displayed?......I have no respect for mindless fairy tales that has done more to hold back humanity, killed more over the last 2 thousand years than every other dispute put together. This is a biker site Velox not sunday school, leave the dribble about God to your favourite worship site.

SPB - Why are you trying to push your beliefs onto everyone else??

The biker comunity has a diverse demographic. I think its great that so many different poeple are brought to gether by a common interest, Motorcycles.

As to be a Christian you have to make a conscious decision, I would have thought "Mindless Christian" to be a contradiction of terms.

That's strange. Because all the Christians I knew, before I lost what little interest I had, were born into it. Their only conscious decision was to never have anything to do with it again

Cue SPB. rammed down my throat from an early age. God, Santa and the Tooth Fairy where all the same to me [still are]

Some cool photos in there BC. hXc thought anberlyn rocked. The drum techy on Mainstage always comes to MSTRS to get his bass drum signwritten for Parachute. He turned up here yesterday with assorted stuff for hXc, including a tom skin that Anberlyn's drummer had bled all over! Apparently he was playing so hard he thumped his knuckles on the rim and split them open, but in the true spirit of musicians the world over, continued playing. The band all signed the skin for hXc.

Think of me as the provebial anti mormon, knocking on the door afterwards loudly proclaiming 'they are wrong , its a load of SHEIGHT'

SPB I am curious as to why you are still reading and posting on a thread that you declare you have no interest in. Would you like to enlighten me?

See previous post. I have plenty of interest in damming and attempt to change Cultists into 'normal' [IE non believers, atheists] as you collective lot have in trying to change me into God wolloper.
God has never talked to you has he yungtart...or any fucker else truth be known!:bye:

As regards damming-isn't that something done by beavers
Trying to change you-who is trying to change you-I see no evidence of that in this thread
yungtart-just exactly what are you trying to say? wash your mouth out, I have kids older than you, sheesh!
And BTW- God frequently speaks to loads of people- you wouldn't know, because your ears aren't open!!
Oh and how about answering my original question.

[hXc]

If you go throught the thread SPB...We weren't trying to change you or anyone else, into a "follower". Maybe you should re-think your posts

[MSTRS]

Mis-informed, bigoted intolerance comes in all forms SPB. Not to worry. All the cultists here are praying for you.

Agreed SPB one bloody hilarious thread, oops can I say bloody:rofl:

[emaN]

Badcat - tell yer mate congrats on the images; some wikkid shots in there! I like his style...

SPB - those 'mindless cultists' were responsible for the 1st hospitals, the 1st universities, the 1st missionaries that went out... not bad for a bunch of lost sheep aimlessly looking up to the sky talking to themselves.

Re the 'killing in the name of' argument

In a world of no internet and one Bible per thousand (if that), it was priests & bishops who mis-lead/tricked a shed load of people into them unHoly Crusades et al... Sux to be those same priests & bishops/leaders when they meet their Maker!

If you went for a crap on Queen St, saying "i'm doing this in the name of jon", that in no way infers i agree/condone/approve of your action.

Same thing still happens now; governments mis-leading sheep-like nations...people parroting what they've heard/what sounds good.

You've got a brain, so keep using it, keep checking out options etc...

Anyhow, glad to see you're recovering well from the op!

Big bad outdoor parties are the shit!

SPB - those 'mindless cultists' were responsible for the 1st hospitals, the 1st universities, the 1st missionaries, the dark ages, the conquistadors, every major war for the last two thousand years and the first choir boy to get butt shagged in the name of God not bad for a bunch of lost sheep aimlessly looking up to the sky talking shit to themselves.

Re the 'killing in the name of' argument

In a world of no internet and one Bible per thousand (if that), it was priests & bishops who mislead/tricked a shed load of people into them unholy Crusades in the name of God... Sux to be those same priests & bishops/leaders when they meet their Maker, they'll have dozens of hail Mary's to repay their sins

If you went for a crap on Queen St, saying "I'm doing this in the name of Jon", that in no way infers i agree/condone/approve of your action, unless you pray before hand then any crime is permitted

Same thing still happens now; Cults and Church's misleading sheep-like nations, killing thousands in tall buildings...people parroting what they've heard/what sounds good.

You've got a brain, so keep using it, keep checking out science it will provide honest peer reviewable answers

Anyhow, glad to see you're recovering well from the op, thank you Eman

Sorry Eman I detected a few mistakes in your post and took the time to correct them.

Back to you lot who went, looks like you had a wikkid time, good to see!

(Edit: Just to clarify, not "classic" in the 'oh what a witty comedian' sense, more in the 'what unbelievable spiels you come up with' sense.)

And yes I can be THAT old ( how about having an 8 year old grand daughter you whippersnapper you )

Agreed, Mr Phantom. Remember that one is only old on the outside - on the inside, you're as young as you feel.

No wrinkles inside, eh. :cool:

And I thought I was the last person alive who knew the word whippersnapper

You hardly ever hear it anymore...
