My God! I don't believe it, they're even trying to make this thread 'Smoke free'. I'd sooner have a good smoke than drive a car around poisoning everyone in town with fumes, ask yeself who's doing more harm.
Nice fresh tale there RJ.
It made me wonder when they entombed Jesus after the crucifixion and came back a few days later to find the huge stone rolled back and the tomb empty, did some joker write on the wall “Jesus crept”
Well put Pug me lad. (re. the truth post)
Perhaps we should now say in a courtroom “Do you solomny swear to tell the facts, the whole facts, and nothing but the facts, so help you God?”
I always tell the truth in important matters, basically I’m a truthful person, but we are seeing less and less of the truth as humanity gets greedier and greedier, then it will disappear altogether and eventually we’ll all end up a species of super liars.
Anyone my age will tell you that people are lying more today that ever before.

Nah, I found it all too upsetting earlier. People with dementia can still communicate. Taking away everything cause PTSD!!!
Then the next stage of Dementia kicks in quickly!!!

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
A lovely lady RJ, I wish her luck.If I may take this opportunity to say a few words on behalf of our own brave war correspondent, I know he’s far too modest to blow his own trumpet.
Gumbud the Fearless, or Duck the Bullets as he’s known down under, he’ll go anywhere for a good story.
Why in the past year alone he has been to Indonesia, Jerusalem, the USA, Mexico, China, Russia, to mention a few, he has also been covering the British withdrawal talks from the EC in Brussels in his spare time, albeit online, what a guy! Talk about the I’ve been everywhere man, he’s only in the ha’penny place where our hero is concerned. Go on Gummy ya good thing!

We all know the old saying you have to be cruel to be kind, but that’s more sadistic than cruel. Even a firing squad will give you a smoke before they shoot you. Sad indeed.
