Merry Christmas, everyone

And the same to you and all here, from a mild and cloudy East Grinstead - waiting with still a little hope to hear from Beagle tonight ;-(

Right, it's much safer to promulgate a legal document with a rock-solid disclaimer that invalidates the whole thing. :>)

Thanks, - Win

No, that's the brandy. ;>)

Indeed. Our family gathered here at Grandma & Grandpa's house to unwrap presents and feast (Ronco-rotisseried marinated chuck roast; it was marvelous!) last night. Today, Grandma 'n' me have the day off!

Sorry, but politicallly-correct greetings are not acceptable to this wishee. ;-)

Fine. Bah, humbug! to you as well.

Thanks, - Win

Yeah, what's going on with this? All the newsmedia on TV have gone home for Xmas, so there's not much current on TV.

Sort of reminde me of those disclaimers at the end of the data sheets. "Hey, if you use our chip in your pacemaker, don't ask us for help if you die." Heh.

Yeah, same here :)

BTW, my money's on Beagle 2 having landed successfully, but the antenna being pointed the wrong way or something similar.

Hopefully the panels unfolded OK so it is now recharging.

Wonder what happened to the MPL? I reckon it was a transmitter problem, its probably still sitting there on the Martian surface waiting for instructions...

ROFLMAO!!!! :)

Oh BTW, Merry Christmas :)

Then you need to turn the voltage up. Try 230V like we have here. :-)

Hah! That's GREAT! I sent a copy to my attorney after changing the year from 2001 to 2004....he's gonna luv it :)

I didn't see any smiley there, Win. Is "political-correctness" important to you?

Of course not and you know it if you've been paying any attention.

But I'll tell you what I don't like, it's having words put in my mouth, it's encountering judgmental, intolerant folks, who put up a straw horse representing what another supposedly believes, then knocks it down along with preaching, insults, liberal-bashing and faux patriotism. Decidedly not Jesus' teaching, and NOT in the Christmas spirit. Bah, humbug.

Thanks, - Win

Merry

Mega Dittos!

Well I've seen your various disagreements with some others on this group (you know, I know and they know who they are) and I'm hard pressed to work out exactly who's telling whom what to think, quite frankly.

With all due respect, Win, you've done your own fair share of bashing the non-Liberals here.

Who gives a s*it what *that* phoney reportedly said?

The Christmas spirit being "peace and goodwill to all men" (for a week and then back to what passes for 'normal' for another crazy, dysfunctional year).

Bah humbug? You betcha.

Or "peace to all men of good will"... Interpretation, and all that.

Speak for yourself!

That works too. ;-)

Well, you have done precisely that on one recent occasion. Specifically, it was about the welfare state. It was not the subject of the thread, but you tangentially mentioned that conservatives want not even basic social services. The truth is more complex, but in any case it was untrue as you stated it, and you were putting words in others' mouths.

Maybe you just got too worked up because you were in a dialog with John Dyson.

GEEZUS!!!!!!!!!!
