    As most of us know, the bible is not one book; it's made up of many books, and a lot of books that didn't quite fit the narrative were excluded. But let's stick with the two main books; the Jewish Old Testament and the Christian New Testament. Two completely different versions of god : the vengeful, angry , murderous god of the Old Testament, who inflicted the most grevious tortures on a devout believer, Job, just to win a bet with the devil, who destroyed cities, populations and mankind except for Noah and his family, who turned one of his believers Lot's, wife, into a pillar of sal

    I'm loathe to get into a theological debate, but if people fervently believe the bible is the word of god, how do they explain the "end of days", "the Rapture" ? According to the Christian bible, no one goes to heaven until the "second coming of Christ" . Then it becomes unclear, are the living believers raised up first, or the dead believers ? Are the "chosen believers" limited to 144,000 ? What happens to the rest ? Philosophers and theologians have debated and argued over this for hundreds of years. If the bible is really the word of god, why is it so ambiguous ? Cheers.

    Any thoughts on the Ishtar Gate in Babylon ? Around 3,000 years old it depicts a series of animals, some still with us, such as lions; some now extinct, such as aurochs; and, weirdly, some that can only be described as dragons or dinosaurs ! How did ancient Mesopotamia know about dinosaurs ? Cheers.

    Isn't "carbon dating" used more as a generic term these days for all element type dating ? Other elements such as uranium-thorite are supposed to be more accurate and have longer half-life's. Studies of cave paintings date some of them as far back as 60,000 years. Interesting subject. Cheers.

    If all these spaceships are visiting eath, why have none of them, as they say, " landed on the White House lawn" and made contact ? Im not saying there ISN'T alien life, in fact I think there probably is. Humans have vehicles driving around and helicopters flying on mars, so why isn't there more definite proof of aliens on earth ? Cheers.

    Sounds like you're a bit down this morning Kieth ? Maybe all the moving stuff is a bit overwhelming, don't take comments on here seriously. Your posts have certainly made me smile a few times. Have a cuppa, chill out and reconsider ? Cheers.

    I wish BBC would put the snooker on a dedicated channel instead of jumping from BBC 1, 2, 4 and iplayer !!! Cheers.

    No, mate, I bet against him in the last final against Robertson. I think he's past his peak, still a brilliant player, how many make five finals in a season ? Flashes of brilliance, but to many unforced errors. Been O.D. Ing on snooker this week, watching it now. Slowly being convinced the "Williams break off" is the way forward, stopping the long potters taking the first red.....even Hendry is coming round to it ! Cheers.

    Yes, mate, par-boiled I think is the term. I used to do them the same as you until I bought a deep fat fryer, great little things for around £20 ? Cheers.

    Yes, if you know 100% where the dog will end up, then rehome, but, sadly, in the case of lurchers, they more often than not end up being passed around, lied about, sold on by peddlers, etc. As I said, it's a choice only the owner can make. Cheers.

    It's a dilemma with no definitive answer. Do you rehome and hope the dog doesn't end up on the lurcher merry-go-round, or do you cull, and know exactly what's happened to the dog ? Its a choice only the owner can make. Cheers.

    You sound as exited as a kid going on his first bus trip to the coast ! ? ! Good luck and all the best with the move, mate ? Cheers.

    OK, now I'm going to ask what a lot of people are thinking, and i'm not being smart or being an arsehole, but why not just put the dog down, rather than put it on the lurcher merry go round ? I'm sorry if I offend, but it it's not good enough for the job it was bred for .......it's either a cull or a pet. Cheers.

    A pal of mine mated a deerhound with a lot of Doxhope blood to an Irish coursing greyhound, but she didn't take. Hes done the mating again and hopefully, it looks like she's taken this time; With a bit of luck, I'll have a pup. Cheers.

    She's 29" and around 75/80 lb. Her Sire was deerhound, Doxhope Knights Errant. Her dam was Greyhound, sister to Westmead Hawk. She's 12 now, and been retired 2 years. Cheers.

    She's retired now, or I would have given it a go ? Cheers.

    It's possible to live your life according to Christian standards without being a Christian or believing in God or any other gods. I'm not saying I do; I'm not really into the "turning the other cheek" bit, but conversely, I try to treat others as I'd have them treat me. I guess age, experience and circumstances have mellowed me considerably ? Cheers.

    "Romans 14-22; Keep your belief about such matters between you and your God" I'm not in the slightest bit religious, but there's some good advice to be found in the bible.........? Cheers.

    My grandsons first haircut was pretty traumatic ! He was hysterical, his mum was crying and the Turkish barber was terrified at upsetting a Saudi ! Now, at five year old , and being spoilt rotten, he tells the barber how he wants his hair cut, and last time, he had it dyed multi coloured !!! Now it was my turn to be worried ! ? ! We don't want to be encouraging that, i told his mum ! Dont worry she said, it washed out before he went to school next day ! A bit different to the old pudding basin cut we used to get as kids ! ? ! Cheers.

    "Better to say nothing and be thought a fool, than to speak and confirm it" Not a bad saying......... Cheers.
