Is this a historic day?

Do you understand that the word "was" refers to the past. That's how we indicate whether we are talking about the past, present or future. By using "was", "is" or "will be", it's kind of a convention we have.

I fucking love it when the Drawing Room seeps into the Lounge.

It's like when your estranged uncle, who has tasted the wonders of civilisation, walks onto your kitchen floor wot you've just pissed all over for a laugh.

You've just quoted yourself posting drivel and emboldened some of it. That's either genious or idiotic.

[j2k4]

It happened, trust me.

As I said, possibly gone in the post-flap.

The subject was an investigation of Tony's intent vis a vis some comment or whatall about the Beeb.

You were a voice in the chorus singing, "Auntie Beeb, she's a peach and would never, ever lie about anything at all, especially government influence, because she owes 'er boots to the government, you see.

Didn't make sense; still doesn't.

Anyhoo.

That sounds like a conversation in The Drawing Room, I don't remember it but it's unlikely to have happened anywhere else.

You do know I just made stuff up in there. You did know that, yes.

Indeed; I was reminding you of it.

Of course there is racism in the United States. But the ridiculous racists are of every color. Equalism is whats needed. I am glad that barack won, hes extremely intelligent, and his integrity is beyond contestation. I think he brings hope to the United States and i truly hope that he makes good on most of his campain promises. Impossible to appease everyone mind you, but anything is better than George W. or a decrepit old man (who probably wouldnt have lived through his presidency anyways) leaving the nuclear codes in a womans hands that thinks dinosaurs roamed the earth only 4000 years ago and her claim to foreign policy is i live 90 miles from russia. the fact she got as close as she had to that being an actual reality is kind of terrifying. Though most of Americans were more than unhappy with george w. 4 years ago and had black voters even showed a moderate turn out at the voting booths we would have started healing the economy back then. Barack deserved to win but not based on color, but on character and the issues that he plans to address. I think it is sad that alot of black voters , more than likely, turned out in such large numbers based purely on his color and not his great potential that he does possess.

I've got a cold sore on the inside of my nostril. True story.

What should I do about it? You seem like the person to ask.

[chalice]

For qualification, it's my left nostril.

I know that was your next question.

[handyrandy]

lol you have a cold sore on the inside of your left nostril? i would call your physician and demand oxycontins(80 mg's). That has to be uncomfortable

[chalice]

Thanks.

I tried headbutting several walls nose-first to no avail. I'm still not convinced though.

Do you think it has anything to do with the arrangement of my furniture cos I'll happily change that under your advice.

I'm desperate.
