Thank you for this recommendation David. The food and the service was excellent. The maitre d' kissed Mrs Red's hand. She said he was a smarmy bugger, but she was smiling when she said it. They have a Maitre d' now? When we last went it was a simple sort of place with good, but unfussy service where they served excellent uncomplicated food. I had a T-bone steak there once that still causes me to salivate at the memory. Came on a huge plate with some mushrooms and a bowl of proper chips. |

I always wonder about guys who marry more than once. Having multiple wives waiting for you in the afterlife must be a complicated business.
Another very oily spanner in the works. I'll never be a believer at this rate. |

Well they have a bloke who fusses around and talks with a foreign accent. It really was excellent though and very reasonably priced. |

Not read it, but have read a fair bit about it. Disturbing how someone grounded in the scientific method can abandon it based on one piece of anecdotal evidence. The mechanisms to explain what he experienced are all there, but he chooses to ignore them. How's the book? Thought provoking. I would dearly love to believe wholeheartedly in an afterlife, but I just can't manage it. I once had a lady come to me while I was working at a local college and say I needed help, she claimed to talk to famous people who had died. Her voices she used when speaking to different famous people was uncanny, yet unnerving.. long story really.. Don't worry. There are lots of empty pages left in this diary.  wrong forum for it sorry... |

The need to believe in an afterlife is stronger than the evidence for it.
Very much so. Also applies to God/s but that's a different thread. |

Crikey!
Felt a sudden urge to look crikey up.
"Christ!" is sacrilegious and crikey an inoffensive alternative.
