Actually, I think I've made a mistake. It's gastritis, not colitis. Not nice, either way. I had a jug by my bed and wa amused to not that I had chucked up 1.75 pints in one heave. I was quite pleased with that. Goodness knows where it all comes from.
Much better today.

I don't get the 'Misogynist' post. There's some who say Mary Magdalene was at the Last Supper. So it would have been eleven glasses of water and a Babycham. Nah, she'd have been driving, surely? |

The whole joke about the 12 glasses of water was that he could turn them into wine without having to pay!!

Doesn't water normally come with the meal? Usually served just before the drinks order  |

Hahaha! I thought you were all doing a gag about not getting WKC’s oldest joke in the book. Not that you actually didn’t get it!

Some jokes are that old, you need an archeologist.

Not wanting to be too pedantic - but I have to point out that they were Crucified - ie - on a Cross.

Artistic licence, I suppose. Also, peurile, crass and unfunny.

Tend to agree. Re. crosses, many were T shaped. I always find it odd that an instrument of torture and death is worshipped.

I was discussing that with Mrs. B the other day as we were watching some drama involving evangelicals, who favour the fish symbol.
As I understand it, the early Christians weren't keen on the crucifix as it was considered too bleak and brutal, but we don't even think about it any more. It is, of course, intended to remind us that Christ suffered for our sins. Actually, it's a much better symbol than the fish, which I guess alludes to a fisher of souls or the miracles of the feeding etc. Dunno, bit hazy on that, but an instrument of torture is pretty hard-core.

Of course, the crucifix is a symbol of sacrifice and eternal life to Christians, not torture and death.
You pays your money ....

They love their symbols. Means they're part of a gang. Like hippies with OM signs on their VW campers.

The Romans used to crucify people as far as the eye could see along the avenues leading up to their temples. Imagine the smell.

I think we're all susceptible to that. My brother's surprisingly fond of ties. School, work, sports, that sort of thing.
Each to his own. He's certainly not a snob, but does like to belong to a tribe.
