Haggling over my fee schedule and wages of sin are unlikely to change the situation. Besides my attempt to save an important web site from archival ossification, what is it that you find in my actions that you consider worthy of eternal damnation? Nothing so cruel as eternal damnation. This is an example of two peoples divided by their common language. "Another place", over here, is a synonym for "Heaven". So, on the contrary, rather than eternal thermal overload, I was offering you eternal boredom or, rather, Boris was. -- AJ Perhaps yet another place? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Another_place "Another place" or "the other place" is a euphemism used in many bicameral parliaments using the Westminster system, including Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. A member of one house will not usually refer directly to the other, but refer to it indirectly using the phrase "another place" or "the other place". So, for example, a member of the Senate of Canada would not mention "the House of Commons" but would use the phrase "the other place". I suspect Boris might have been referring to his parliament. As for eternal boredom, I suggest "Don Juan in Hell" by George Bernie Shaw, wherein hell offers an escape from the endless philosophical discussions of heaven. Unfortunately, hell offers little in the way of an alternative for one boring individual in R.B.T., who seems to be living in a hell of his own creation. -- Jeff Liebermann PO Box 272 http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Ben Lomond CA 95005-0272 Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
