  1. I just want to retire, but the memsahb won't let me as she claims that I get under her feet a home. That and I can't afford to yet. Roll on 65 or a lottery/premium bonds big win, whichever comes first.
  2. ...

    Sunflower seeds'll pork you up, eventually but you need to eat lots.We buy a five seed mix to sprinkle on anything we fancy it on and that's fulla goodness but we aint vegans. That rennet-less vegan cheese is nice though.
  3. Immortality

    Everybody dies eventually. Everybody. That fact plus taxes are two givens in life.
  4. Synchronicity

    Interacting with, and being one with an object or event could well be the same thing synchronously. Take digestion for example. HTH
  5. Selling Out? Really?

    Didn't John Chang own a prawn farm? That has to be a nice living in a low wage economy, labour and transport would be your biggest overheads, all else is profit.
  6. Synchronicity

    ....They could be.. Synchronously

    " Bring me a crocodile sandwich. And make it snappy"! Sorry horse guy, the devil made me say it. ;-)
  8. ...

    Man don't ever go to veggie Yoga class without ear plugs and a nose peg.
  9. Changing the world

    Snowed in we are. It is magic. There is nothing one can do, so no point trying to do anything. Resistance is futile so just go with the snow. A most restful day again today. Would that life were always thus.
  10. The Significance of 108 mantra beads

    Nice. GM Chang used to tell us.... Tao is 1 We are 0 8 means infinity
  11. ...

    Pure veg here. Makes me fart a lot but that's the beans. Never known any different so never got used to the idea of eating meat. Good luck to those who do though, each to their own.
  12. Changing the world

    Agreed. These world changing sorts are generally trouble. Local is best, stick to our own back yards and let others do the same.
  13. Hobbit Lifestyle

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2254397/Oxford-graduate-quit-mainstream-society-live-hobbit-style-existence-mud-hut-Welsh-hills.html Thought this was interesting in today's paper. Firstly because of the unusual lifestyle. Secondly as the article indicates that the utopian community, small that it was; seems to have split into three factions.
  14. Martin Luther King Jr

  15. Starting on Qigong...But Where?

    8 pieces silk brocade standing form QiGong is easy to learn and does the trick. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=3Plz9IXLZqM&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D3Plz9IXLZqM&gl=GB Ken Cohen is good for medical QiGong. http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Way-Qigong-Science-Chinese/dp/0345395298/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1358895718&sr=8-1 Avoid the system sellers, they repackage free stuff and whack on hefty mark up. HTH
  16. Immortality

    We're immortal spirits lodging in temporary bodies, time and time again. Eventually we get the chance to get off the wheel, or not; as we choose. Suits me sir. Other views are available.
  17. The War on Kids

    The kids who were together in school know each other. The home schooled kids have that novelty value, they tend to be really popular. Also the home schooled kids by and large are more grounded somehow, boys especially are just so much more mature at 16 than most of the school raised lads.
  18. The War on Kids

    Home schooled kids are bright as buttons when they come to us for post compulsory education. Our sister college offers 16-19 access to HE which is popular as they tend not to do GCSEs at home they use bought in curriculum such as the ACE. All of them are super bright, interested, polite and engaged with the concept of work. Even the fundie ones are well adjusted, and all academically well in front of the school educated kids. Never yet met a home schooled kid who wasn't head and shoulders above the school raised. My student teachers love teaching 'em. Give me a class full of home schooled teenagers any day of the week. Nice work if you can get it. The miserable, entitled, glued to their iPhone.. grumpy little gits the schools turn out are non-starters compared to home schooled.
  19. Kundalini/chi Insomnia

    Pray to Fresh Air Jesus. A brisk walk and some fresh air every day will have you sleeping like a baby. Keep away from caffeines too. Decaff's your friend, all else is wakeful.
  20. "Compassion means skillful action" - huh?

    cheese The Kali temple next door donated the Mother Teresa premises and they make a tidy donation to the work every year. Just goes to show. Goats play a short but prominently reluctant part in the Kali Temple services very bloody affairs they are and Kali is no looker. yet they give charitably to the Mother Teresa work.
  21. Thank You Snow Jesus.

    3,000 schools and colleges across UK closed today. Ours included. Praise Snow Jesus. :-)
  22. Thank You Snow Jesus.

    So college is open it said on the website. Come to work. So I have. How many people in this staffroom (usually 20 of us)? I'll tell ya. Me. One Count the legs and divide by two = One. Just me. Stuck in here on my flippin own. That's it. Even my boss is 'working from home'. I have sat here for four hours answering emails from sensible students telling me why they are NOT coming into class this evening. They have my blessing. Early bath for this lad I suspect.
  23. Do I need glasses?

    Never hurts to get an eye test.
  24. What is necessary?

    ........They do say that your entire life flashes in front of your eyes before you leave the body. Bit like TV repeats only much faster and with fewer commercials.
  25. Selling Out? Really?

    Seriously though guys predestination is a sophistry in that it absolves wo/men of responsibility for their actions. A basic flaw in Judaeo-Chrisitainity. Anathema to itself.
