Chris/Oregon Dave. I knew by my reply to Elton's (as always excellent) posting, a can of worms would be opened. That's why we do it after all. Now, point is this: Why do we need the perps executed? Think for a moment. For revenge? Savage. To stop them doing it again? Alternatives. Stop anyone else doing something similar? Dont work mate. I know there are all those thousands of people who say "I'd throw the switch/Pull the lever", or whatever the case may be but I cannot condone the death penalty under any circumstances I'm afraid. We become no better than the perpetrator. We sink to that level. No one should have the power of life or death over another. Not the criminals nor the powers that be. In the world of "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" you end up with a lotta blind folk who can't eat cornflakes. All the best guys, Roy

Ever wanted to put on your very own fireworks display with no consideration to the costs? Well, here's your chance, put some spuds in the oven, gather the family round, turn the lights down and your speakers up.....Enjoy. http://www.maylin.net/Fireworks.html Roy

Love all that zany stuff Newt. Laughed my rocks off. Thanks. Roy

I heard the govenor of Alabama talking on radio yesterday, and I paraphrase only slightly: "Down here in Alabama, we're a civilised people and don't tolerate such behaviour. For this reason we're gonna make an example of him and will apply the death sentence". Hmmm, possible contradiction in there somewhere..... Roy

Perhaps we should offer them Pizza when they arrive. Just a thought.... R

Hey Newt, how you been doin? Good post, there trully are some numbskulls out there hey? Trouble is, every single one of 'em has the same voting powr as the likes of you and me.... Incidentally, when my younger daughter asked why my cell-phone vibrates as well as rings, I told her it's so that deaf people could use it too. Still waiting for the come-back on that. See ya, R

Well little onions, it's like this: It just does, OK? It's white man's magic, voodoo, witchcraft and a little bit of sleight of hand all rolled into one little plastic pouch. It's more important that it "Does" rather than "How does". I really think that what I'm saying is: I havn't got the foggiest notion mate. Good question though L.O. R.

Reading about Eltons good news I got to thinking about when my two daughters were little and a thought comes to mind... What's the funniest/most absurd thing your kids have ever said? I'll kick this one off with a short tale about my elder daughter, Charlotte: Charley was about 3-4 and just about toilet trained. Whilst visiting my mum she asked if she could use the toilet, so off she toddled and about 4 minutes later emerges from the toilet saying "Grandma, you've got really pretty toilet paper, it's got roses on it, but don't worry, I used the other side...." Priceless! Any good kiddie stories with which to scare/encourage our friend Elton? Roy

Totally agree with Elton's sentiments, but... You'll still be sticking the things up on the kitchen wall in a few years time, believe me... R PS, the site itself is pretty lousy...

No Chesters, it's a new one, Indian Built & as yet, not a drop spilt. I know they were once known as Royal Oilfields though... R

Well at least some of you may remember this old timer....Hi to all my old friends at AN and hi also to all the new guys. Been off the river and the site for some time due to the "old trouble" (no, not the Mrs.) Dunno if anyone's interested, but I've bought myself a Royal Enfield Bullet 500 just for fun. Oh well you only live once and my consultant said it's probably a good idea provided I never, ever, ever fall off the thing, so thats good enough for me. (Actually he said something about, "over my dead body" or summat)whatever.... Anyway having taken this step, I've now gotten involved in a charity motorcycle ride (on Enfield) across southern India in February. This in aid of 4 charities. If interested visit the site www.enduroindia.com If anyone wants to throw 50p at me, you will be more than welcome. I know the thing's gonna be a struggle, but I dont want to get to my dotage and end up saying, "I wish I'd done....." So going for it big stylee. I see a few of the old names still here... Trogg, the shed's still standing and we're slowly getting the fridge and larder refilled.... Elton, my message of congrats on "another page". Good to be back everyone. Still miss that old bugger GS.

Hey Elton, Not been either fishing or on the site for a long while. Been suffering a bit with my health (as usual) but it's my pleasure to put my first posting in months to such a good subject. Congratulations to you both. Good luck. As for raising kids? You'll p**s it mate. Good to be back. Roy
