It's easy, I remember this one time, in church, I said 'I do' under no pressure at all.

Be quite interesting to know how many people have never won one - I  would think that for every Royal Fish there are 99 people who have never won one who participate in them fairly regularly.

I'll satke flushy if there's a $20 freezeout in this year's !

And this is Bachmann Turner Overdirve, 'You aint seen nothing yet' - let's rrrrocckkkkk !

If they prick us, do we not bleed ?

Since spam is an old word with a new meaning the exact etymology and therefore definition of the word may as yet be unclear and it could take several decades before there is a final definition accepted by all as the received wisdom.

In the meantime, do we not accept that advertising and marketing are an integral, yay, welcome, part of a modern, capitalist society -  a socio-political system from which we all derive benefits. Since the large majority of us capitalists 'vote with our feet' and stay here we clearly prefer the capitalist system and the profit motive to any other system. No obvious rush from here to rural China or Cooooooooooba  (Cuba quiero bailar la salsa) so far as I can tell.

Ergo, the marketing of the site and it's multiple offerings to it's membership is to be welcomed, embraced and the people behind it should have their tummies tickled. Oh yes. We, atavists all, exist to market and sell - hence the wiggly bottoms one sees in spring.

Moreover, and back to the initial discussion over a precise definition of spam - is it possible to spam one's own site or customers. I reject the very notion as primitive and verging on the subhuman. I am sure it is possible to unsubscribe and thus, rather than a discussion regarding spam, one should instead rejoice in the fact that our fathers and forefathers worked, lived and died so that we, yes, we petty men, could exercise our democratic right to 'vote with our feet' and not simply exercise a good deal of airtime with drivel.

Just completed series 6 of Seinfeld - will start on Curb yr Enthusiasm when done.

I am expecting Arsenal to thrash the mighty Barca in exactly the same way we thrashed the Mancs in last year's Cup Final.

Oh yeah !

Think Dave sums up the only appropriate response on the first page of this thread.

"whereas calling any female a fat c**t  whilst I was at the table would prematurely end your evenings entertainment"

So beautifully written too :-)

But Dave's bigger than me and I might not quite have the balls to give the unpleasant chap an immediate physical reprimand.

But I'd have to say something and it wouldn't be the start of a polite chat about poker etiquette in an all-in situation.

.... so, as I was saying in Nottingham, any time you and Jane want to stay at my place in Florida just let me know. Sat by the pool now, mmmmmmmmmmmm.

Cheers now
