I see that disrty bastard Blair has had the audacity to turn up to this thing! cussing:
The bloody crowd should tunr on him and tear his ridiculous gurning head off his body!

He was bound to turn up, he is getting us all used to his next appearance here as European President. Banghead
I was curious about how Phil the Greek had managed to have so many medals on his chest. Is it 1 medal per country he hasnt so far insulted?

Come to think of it, that is something I've noticed with any royal in dress uniform snoop.

Exactly evil:
Royals are like the bloody Yanks ~ medals for being first down to lunch. ::)
The only ones worse are South American Dictators and Bloody African "Generals"

Anywhoo to get back on topic:
Rowan Williams's sermon at the Iraq War service of thanksgiving seemed to say the devil had a hand in leading us to war.
Did the Archbishop of Canterbury really just tell a congregation which included Tony Blair that the Devil had led us into the Iraq war? His sermon at the service of thanksgiving could certainly be read that way by anyone who knows the Bible. The reading from St Paul's letter to the Ephesians says in the Authorised Version: "We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
rubschin: Y'know ~ I rather think he did.
In the translation Rowan Williams used, this came out as "Our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh", says St Paul. After that, the Archbishop went into paraphrase ? "There are visible enemies ? a dictator, a terrorist; but there are invisible ones too" ? but no regular reader of the Bible could fail to be reminded of the reference to almost satanic powers in the original.

It made my blood boil - people dropping money in the tin from their hard earned and taxed' while MPs ride the gravy train... cussing:
We really do need a revolution...

Understandable for parents to be worried but the lad has a choice. He is doing what he thinks is right. They have to respect that and let him do it.
My parents worried about me so I didn't tell them where I was sent ....... in fact I don't think I ever got round to telling them where I had been or what I had been doing.
