FULL STORY (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12537279/)

Clive, how on earth do you find these things out? I read almost every post on here, yet I don't remember mac claiming he has an imunity to viruses. :o
-
Well he's immune to everything else. :wink: :laugh:
-
Don't start him off again!! :laugh:
-
Come on Simon where's your sense of adventure. :laugh:
-
Well, my nose is running. Now if someone could invent a nose tap, I'd be most thankful.
:thanks:
-
Are you sure your ears weren't burning as well Mac. :wink:
-
I wear ear muffs with built in extinguishers.
-
Just as well.
-
Don't start him off again!! :laugh:
Thank you Simon.
:roll:
My 'other' Mac got eaten by moths.
Very hol(e)y...
-
You should have used mothballs. ;)
-
I couldn't find any uncastrated moths.
-
If I'm holding a moth ball in one hand, and a moth ball in the other hand.
What do I have in front of me.
A bloody big moth. :laugh:
-
That would make Simon very nervous. :laugh:
-
Yes, I'm not a big fan of large flying insects. :scoot:
-
Only flying ones? :laugh:
-
Well, I have been known to freak at our arachnid friends also. :blush2:
-
Sounds like an Elephant moth, Misty.
You're very brave.

Invest in a 12 Gauge. You'll be fine.

That's very cruel Clive. :shock:
I have to show Michael. :laugh:
-

Only in my own mind. :wink:
-
Make that a 10 Gauge.
Seriously, a 12 gauge is good for snakes and other garden pests.
Use a gas-operated automatic so's you don't get too much recoil.
I use an old Remington 1100 which cost me all of $10 as it 'didn't work'.
I just put in the missing parts and it was good as new.
-
They allow Mac to have a gun :roll:
I didnt think he was allowed even sharply pointed things where he lives :shock:
-
Thats why he could only buy one that didn't work. :laugh:
-
The man who sold it didn't know which two parts were missing. The two gas seal-rings.
-
That model is now US$775.99 so I got a pretty good deal, don't you think?
The two parts which were needed are just US$14.40 plus a rubber o-ring seal which you can find most anywhere.
-
Very resourceful Mac. :laugh: But why do you need a gun? Do you hunt or is it for protection?
-
Both Clive. Mostly for shooting in the field and for clay pigeon shooting in competition.
Another family member is a licensed firearms carrier which means that he is allowed to carry a concealed weapon, and he also has a 12 gauge riot gun with which to protect his business, as he is a jeweller.
I have had the police call on ocassion to see if I would lend them a weapon in an emergency, and a friend of mine in England was called upon, by the Police, to shoot a mad axe murderer many years ago as he was holding a woman hostage and threatening to kill her.
He used a rifle which he normally used for deer and shot the man through the rear window of the car he was using.
Now about the Apple Mac virii. Any progress on trapping the propagators of these things, or are we reduced to putting mothballs in our laptops?
I believe that they're small enough...
-
Very resourceful Mac. :laugh: But why do you need a gun? Do you hunt or is it for protection?
All the policemen carry guns, btw.
-
All the policemen carry guns, btw.
So why did one want to borrow a gun from you?
-
That was when I was resident in the UK Simon, a country united by land mass but, unhappily, divided by religion(s).
I meant to say that over here, in Europe, all the policemen carry guns.
Not so in the UK I believe.
The 'British Nationality Act' was probably the final straw which broke the camel's back, if it hasn't totally bankrupted the exchequer.
Never mind, there is always 'Great British Farce' to cheer us all up and the odd pantomime or two.
Have you ever seen a black and white film made by the BBC entitled 'The War Game', btw.
Maybe it should be allowed to be put on general release. It shows what the effect of a nuclear winter would be like.
A 'Winter of Discontent' indeed.
Puritanism anyone?
-
Correct. But you are in Belgium, yes?
-
Yes indeed. The land of the 'choco boys', where you have to keep your back to the wall, or carry a gun.
Seems that the church encourages perversion, especially lesbianism.
And lead us not into Military service and deliver us from moral responsibility seems to be their 'credo'...
Quite disgusting.
Especially if you research the incidences of incest and bestiality going on in this 'private sector industry'.
Pornography would appear to be a flourising 'industry' alongside prostitution, and every other imaginable crime.
Such is the true nature of 'the broad church' and its 'broad tastes'.
They like to 'keep it in the family' apparently and have spent centuries covering up just to keep the Pope in office.
-
Just how many rent boys live in your area? There are quite a few in Manchester for example. It appears to be an inner city problem brought about by a continuous regime of poverty, wafers and water and pious platitudes which have a tendency to fall rather ... flat.
A military society screens this sort of immoral and illicit activity - out - of the system.
-
Mac, I think you have made your point over and over again. Nobody seems to be disagreeing with you so perhaps you should consider that you may be preaching to the converted. In other words, the subject has been exhausted and we must ask you to stop posting about pornography, prostitution, homosexuality, religious matters and racism. You are an expert with computers and we would appreciate your help in solving members problems.
-
I agree Clive, the subject is well exhausted.
Let us hope that the relevant steps are now taken to remedy all of these ills that plague us all.
Computers don't really interest me that much as they are only being used in an attempt to outwit the authorities in most cases.
It is more the moral climate, or lack of it, which I find discouraging.
I'll leave it there.
