Quote from: Nickslikk2112 on December 01, 2022, 02:47:37 PMWell, I wish that 99% of the population were devout Christians, we might get Christmas starting on 25th December then and not in the middle of bloody September  >:(

Yeah, and we would still have the Cadbury's Crème Eggs to look forward to when we fill up the car on Boxing Day.

Very nearly chucked it today and was about to throw anything in to reveal the solution when the second letter fell in by chance. Not enjoyable. Just addiction. Took around 30 minutes.

Quote from: dom on November 30, 2022, 08:36:58 PMSpotify unwrapped came out today showing top artists, songs listened to in 2022. A new feature is artist messages. Bruce Soord and Gavin Harrison appeared on mine promoting new material and tour. What's good for the goose etc!

Spotify Unwrapped is probably worth a new thread Dom.

Quote from: Slim on November 25, 2022, 04:54:58 PMHad a wonderful day out in Northampton. Took the day off work. It would have been a glorious cycling day and there aren't many of those at this end of the year, but I'm glad I went. Drove there on my own and revisited some of my old haunts from my six month Lost Weekend there in 1984.

Hadn't been since December.



So much flatness. Your world is very different.

Bad start, then good progress on line two. Seemed it should have been easier when only one vowel available, but turned out there were a number of possibilities, so two misses thereafter.

I believe sadly, that we have subtly but assuredly staggered blindly into the end times. Crank post of the year award probably coming my way. So be it.

Didn't think it was happening for me today. Just those two letters after each crazy guess.

I have to question this thread's title. I think insanity would be more appropriate. Christianity is basically quite simple. Accept that this man is who he says he is or do something else. The diversity of Christianity has thrown up some behaviours incongruent with the original message. Man's problem, not God's

Quote from: The Picnic Wasp on November 27, 2022, 02:13:57 PMThe irony of your username being one colon away from a New Testament reference never fails to tickle me Matt.😉

If that colon is used by anyone in my user name I'll kick off and turn some tables over. ;D

Excellent!😁

Annoyed at myself. If I had taken another few seconds to read my initial successes in reverse order, I think it would have been a two.

Quote from: Slim on November 26, 2022, 08:24:00 PMHe died, so ultimately - no. Not for him, anyway.

Wow! Seventy three books in the Bible and you only need nine words, James. Respect!😁

There's an important, eternal truth that can be expressed in a mere four words: God is not real.


It might be quite apt if this thread ends with a written singularity, but I'm not intelligent enough to come up with an ending that couldn't be violated. I'm sure you'll think of something.😉

Technology and Science / Kola Superdeep Borehole

I had never heard of this. It appeared randomly in my YouTube home page yesterday. A 12 kilometre deep investigative drill hole in Russia. I was staggered to learn that this equates to only 0.02% of the distance to the centre of the Earth. Fossils of single cell life were discovered at 7 km. Real mind blowing technology. I occasionally post in the Does God Exist? thread. These are the kinds of topics which make clinging on to a faith really difficult. Maybe that's what it's all about. Mankind's insatiable appetite for knowledge and learning. It's why I also enjoy trash TV like tonight's I'm A Celebrity final. We need an off switch.

I was so delighted that was given the Moderna vaccine last time around, but it wiped me out for two days. Hadn't had such a bad reaction before. Perhaps that's a good sign.

Very, very lucky guess on three. Felt I was going nowhere until they all turned green.
