I long for Thursday.

Finally someone's talking sense we can all relate to.

I agree that this is a sickening exploitation of a tragic event. Disgraceful.

Welcome back Jax. What you are saying about the Daoist influence on Dzogchen practices rings a lot of intuitive bells with me. I have long thought that while there is considerable emphasis on the Buddhist influence in China (from both India and later Tibet) - not much is said about the Chinese (particularly Daoist) influence on Buddhism and its practices. I have always seen this in a positive light - and I am sure 'rip-off' is not quite right. As I see the dialogue between practitioners of different systems as more of a source of renewal and cross-fertilisation than theft.

... er ... what?

Yay , I'm converted - I have seen the light. ..... not really. Save your breath oh Karl. I'm in Europe and I'm staying.

Are you talking about me?

What if we replace the referendum with a football competition and whether we stay in or out depends on the progress of Wayne Rooney and co.? An early Brexit would be a near certainty.

There was a different sign but I can't describe it. No problem though. Except the star and the blue splodge are quite similar.

Zero to hero.

on index page - next to each topic.

They've tried but my shit-rate is too high.

You see that's just it - you as much as they want me to believe in a kind of dream - a dream about being richer, a dream about liberty, a dream about this and that. I don't buy any of it. I don't believe Cameroon and I don't believe the others. I want to be left alone with minimum disturbance.

I don't like or trust any of them on either side. I particularly don't trust people who offer you jam tomorrow i.e. more spending on NHS if we Brexit - from people who don't even like the the NHS. I don't trust or like the Remain shower either. Who could. The whole thing is a disaster being done for the wrong reasons - and either way we get shafted.

I don't like the blue dots - for read last unread post - as much as the old symbol and they look similar to the stars.

Trust me you don't

Is that from the book of Thogal wisdom?

Please do it and then appear before us in your light body. But first change your avatar it's very distracting.

My back end is ok I just checked

What do these figures mean - I know nothing of gambling.

More than I like voting alongside Gove, IDS, Boris and Farage.

Yes. Of course there was no 'Left' entity as such but just a loose group who supported the elected government. Everything from liberals to anarchists to soviet communists. One of the reasons it lost.

You never had it so good.

We don't know how things would have fared if Franco had lost but his economic track record was not great : http://countrystudies.us/spain/51.htm ... his social policies were backward looking and repressive of course.

Straws? oh yes ...
