Re:Don't start another Date Posted:21/09/2018 06:07:21Copy HTML Ref posting pictures Major. I'm still downloading a picture to photobucket and then copying it there and then posting it to our site. You will also notice we don't even has the little icons anymore for pictures or videos. |

Re:Don't start another Date Posted:21/09/2018 06:12:07Copy HTML All right, I give up, how do you post pics on here? Download a picture to your computer. Right click on it, then select Cut. Back to your reply, then Control v and it should appear. You would normally click on Paste to post it, but that doesn't work on my PC, yours might be different. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Re:Don't start another Date Posted:23/09/2018 07:34:34Copy HTML Calm your beating heart a moment, Such as de Morville owned vast estates, some of which they never visited, De Morville came from the north of England, he was Lord of Westmoreland and may not have gone to the wild outpost deep into Cornwall.

Re:Don't start another Date Posted:23/09/2018 08:39:48Copy HTML He might have had that title Mark but he did live there at one time, so I was told by the owner of the land. I mean, why would they name the area after him? I like the sound of the bloke, I mean, anyone who kills an Archbishop of Canterbury can't be all bad. The latest one could do with the Sir Hugh once over for a start, the typical religious bloody hypocrite. See his latest rant? Dropped himself right in the shite there didn't he? For our colonists I shall explain. A couple of weeks ago the sanctimonious tosser stood up and gave a speech condemning the company Amazon. He said they paid little taxes and were therefore leeching off the taxpayer. He also condemned them for their 'zero hour contracts' with their employees, condemning the practice as 'the reincarnation of eveil.' HA! Then, no sooner had the idiot straitened his frock, when soomebody discovered that the Church of England had massive shares in the company and were operating and advertising for employees on zero hours contracts. |

Re:Don't start another Date Posted:23/09/2018 10:00:54Copy HTML I've not looked closely into his life, so he could have spent time there, he certainly spent more time up north though, most of the known accounts of his life place him in the north. My scepticism comes from knowledge of Izaak Walton's Cottage near Stafford. Many people believe he lived there, but he never did, he owned it and rented it out, he may have visited, but never actually lived there. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

I think they have every right to publish shit cartoons and have never professed otherwise. Now if only they could find a dictionary and look up the words subtle, refined, bright, shrewd or inventive. Careful Mark, there's a bit of TDS creeping in there. |

Re:Don't start another Date Posted:02/10/2018 11:10:11Copy HTML Canada is building a multi billion dollar Nature gas conversion facility on the coast of British Columbia. It will shorten the shipping time to export natural gas to China and places west of us by more than a week. The old way was to ship it from the gulf coast. It looks like China is willing to buy as much as we can produce and send them. Nature gas is used in the gas state so I think they may convert it into a liquid and ship it that way. |

Re:Don't start another Date Posted:03/10/2018 12:04:30Copy HTML OTTAWA - Canada's transport minister says travellers aboard domestic flights will be allowed to carry a small quantity of cannabis with them after Oct 17. But Marc Garneau warns against packing it into luggage that's destined outside the country. And the country's airport screening authority says it has yet to finalize procedures for dealing with passengers taking pot through security lines. Garneau says as long as they are on domestic flights, Canadians can bring up to 30 grams of marijuana with them once possession for personal use becomes legal. The minister warns, however, that international passengers must abide by the laws of their country of destination. Transport Canada says taking cannabis, or products that contain pot, across the U.S. border remains illegal. While several American states have legalized marijuana, possession of the drug is still illegal under U.S. federal law. "As long as the flight is domestic, then people are allowed to bring up to a certain quantity for their personal use," Garneau told reporters in Ottawa on Tuesday. "However, I would remind Canadians again that, if they are going on flights that cross into the United States or go to other countries, that the rules of that country where they are going are the rules that apply." Under Bill C-45, Canadian adults will be allowed to carry up to 30 grams of dried cannabis in public. The Canadian Air Transport Safety Authority said Tuesday it is still working to ensure its rules conform with the law. "We have been working with Transport Canada since the government passed the cannabis legislation to ensure our protocols are consistent with government policy," said CATSA spokeswoman Christine Langlois. "We expect to finalize our procedures in the coming days. I wonder if this applies also to the air crew |

Re:Don't start another Date Posted:03/10/2018 01:42:19Copy HTML That cartoon wouldn't have to be categorized as propaganda if it depicted both parties as supressing justice. To say that republicans are the only ones committing any crimes is despicable.

Re:Don't start another Date Posted:03/10/2018 05:39:27Copy HTML That cartoon wouldn't have to be categorized as propaganda if it depicted both parties as supressing justice. To say that republicans are the only ones committing any crimes is despicable. The only difference that I can see is one party is in power right now and one isn't Shula. When your in power you are going to get critizied on everything you say or do. You are put under a microscope and any flaw you may have will be found out and examined in detail. When you are out of power then you are left with nothing to do but criticize and exploit any cracks you find in the white castle walls. In a few years thinks change and the critiziers are now in power and the ones in power are out and now become the critics. Yours is no different than any other democracy in the free world and if the Demo's were in power that you would see both shirt cuffs would have had donkeys on them instead of elephants. You call it despicable talk which it really is, but right now the critics are calling it pay back time and I'm just calling it plain old politics. |

Re:Don't start another Date Posted:05/10/2018 12:14:08Copy HTML Sometimes I listen to the news and only prick up my ears when something applies to me, but tonight I heard something that I still cannot believe. The news gal was talking about federal monies which would help Virginia's abortion industry. Abortion industry? My God, what have we become? "It is forbidden to spit on cats in plague-time."
