Nothing says Happy Christmas like a penis-shaped tree

I should have seen the jolly green giant pun coming from a mile away. And not that kind of coming, pervs.

I don't even know what this mother was trying to prove. The lowered standards of teenagers? She had to pretend to work at pretending to be more well read than she was. The gap in relationships between parents and children? He's at a boarding school. The a guy's perfect idea of a woman is is that she has the body of a model and the brain of a scientist? That's what perfect means. And a philsophy supermodel that seeks you out? What do you think the kid's gonna do?

She's a Daily Mail reader. It goes without saying she's completely bonkers.

When you find yourself slightly embarassed about what happened at the office party, and don't want to look your colleagues in the eye, just imagine how much worse you'd feel if you were the Bishop of Southwark

It is a question which might baffle the grea-*test*-('") minds in detective fiction, Father Brown, say, or Brother Cadfael: what happened to the Bishop of Southwark last Tuesday night? Was he mugged on the way home to Tooting from a pre-Christmas party at the Irish embassy? Or was he found wandering in a confused state in Crucifix Lane, near his cathedral, having supped not wisely, but too well?
The Rt Rev Tom Butler, 66, one of the Church of England's most senior bishops and a pillar of Thought for the Day on the BBC Today programme, says he has no idea. Others say he was seen sitting in the back of a Mercedes chucking children's toys out of the window and announcing: "I'm the Bishop of Southwark. It's what I do."


Admit it - we've all been there!

It's like an episode of Father Ted.

So cool. I wish I could reach inside a dolphin's stomach. Sigh.

Of major relevance to many in this forum:

Rate of most common form of breast cancer dropped 15% from Aug 2002 to Dec 2003, most likely because people stopped hormone replacement therapy that August.

If the result holds up, there should be some continuing gains as more people halt the therapy. Sometimes the cure is not just worse than the disease -- it actually causes the disease.

Skyblade, I think you should consider this as a warning.
