The sun appears to rise in the east.
APPEARS... Glad that word was included, as we all know its an illusion, only a matter of perception, equally true asvwevrotate around the sun, which itself is moving through our galaxy at 95000 mph.
Or... The world is hollow, and we are on the inside, Apollos chariot tracks across the sky, pushed by a giant dung beetle and narrowly avoids the elephants legs each night as it slips under the disc.
Until the next polarity shift, when it will rise in the magnetic west ...
I wasn't trying to pick a fight with you!
I know, just felt like a fight!!! See you in the bar.
Outside, now! If I'm not there in five minutes, start without me.
You outrank me. I can't thump you, sir!
All life is an illusion ... :)
FK we may not agree on much but your posts are always thought provoking and never dull. We clearly don't share a common view of the world but I do believe that this forum would be much the poorer were you not posting here.
Here's to many years of debate, discussion and disagreement to come!
Have a coffee!

Splitter! :P
Settling in well Toxicpixie! =O =O
Do we allow second lieutenants to address senior officers uninvited?
This man's army's a democracy :D
Up the POUM!
In my old regiment we'd have given you a brandy and a loaded revolver, whippersnapper!
How to really ANOY the cat - take his AZTECS away from him......
IanS ;)
I quite like brandy... but only one round means I need to pick the general to shoot very carefully... very awkward after the brandy!

.... or alternatively
The people's flag is palest pink
It's not the colour you might think
The middle classes stand and cheer
The Labour government is here
We'll change the country bit by bit
So nobody will notice it
And just to show that we're sincere
We'll sing The Red Flag once a year
The Progress Flag is deepest Purple,
It's basically the Tory one but don't tell anyone,
The Daily Mail stands and cheers,
Neo-liberalism is here again!
Doesn't quite scan, but it's close.
See the same man, in vigour, in the gout;
Alone, in company; in place, or out;
Early at bus'ness, and at hazard late;
Mad at a fox-chace, wise at a debate;
Drunk at a borough, civil at a ball;
Friendly at Hackney, faithless at Whitehall.
The working class can kiss my a*s
I've got the manager's job at last!

Only your batman when he brings you your morning tea and offers to lick you boots to a perfect shine. ;D.
I think that to show your appreciation of him you have to make him a cuckold as well. :d
