anyone who comes round my house expecting a treat ... forget it ... I found the bag of chocolate around 4pm hehehe
The big debate question was all set, we had the 'for' seat which makes life a lot easier:
This house believes that the rights of criminals should be set aside to protect the rights of law abiding citizens
I managed to argue seven points where the rights of the criminal could be morally and humanely postponed until the safety of the public could be guaranteed
I had a secret weapon. I spread a rumour that one part of my argument I had made up and I had no source to cite - I had hoped that I would be challenged so I could casually pull out the source book with as much innocence as I could manage. The other team captain either hadn't heard my rumour or was too good to fall for that.
She tried to bring in an emotional plea about mentally ill people being put in jail - I used one of my three allowed counter questions to ask "what had the mentally ill people done to an innocent person to get put in jail ?" then I sat down. The silence was eerie hahahahaha
[if she's reading this, I was ready to argue that insane people are not capable, in law, of committing a crime and should be excluded from the debate on a point of order, but it was more fun to watch you squirm]
Anyhow we timed out and were victorious and then some ... the motion was carried 46 : 5 with no-one abstaining.
We all stopped at McD for a celebration thick shake and the captain formally stood down - I manfully stepped up and with a show of hands got my captaincy.
Then I came on VR to tell the world to find the new VR database coming to life. It is 110% awesome, needs a little manual tweaking to lift things out of where they had been auto-dumped but its soooo epic
Got to bed at 1am - Lucky its a week holiday here in the UK
Think that's all for now

You are gonna kick booty!
Get someone to wear a clown suit!!
Good luck Art- go kick some butt!
I have found the myspace page of the captain of the debating team that we are going to face.
Know your enemy. I have to get clowns into the discussion somehow if she fears them so much
*evil plotting*
Today I had a letter from Nooska
For those of you that don't know, I have adopted a part of a wolf at Bristol Zoo - I don't know which part, but as I was the first to pay when he was a cub, I got to name him :)
I have to say that his typing and English is pretty good for a wolf. He's doing good, thanks me for helping him out, he's had a cold, weighs 14.2 Kg and eats a bunch
OK I'm not really that stupid but clearly whoever writes on his behalf thinks I am, they actually want me to write back!
COMMENTS
Which part of the wolf did you adopt?
Spleen and lower intestine?
:P
LOL
What does, Nooska, mean?
:) Ahhh that is kind of cute.
Sure you did not get the rear end of the deal? O.o
Way I figure it, no matter which end you got there's a bunch of clean up involved- messy eater or not potty trained. 0-o
Do they have a web cam in Nooska's enclosure...like a "Nanny Cam", so you can make sure they are taking good care of him?
Bones,
Nooska is as close as I can get to вовк, which is Ukranian for errrr ... wolf
I have a toy wolf from way back of the same name

:D
good luck to you!
i know you can do it!
England expects....oh your not a Brit though...erm well in that case...good luck old bean.
I know you will do very well!
*hums the music from jaws* You'll blow them out of the water :)
I was way late getting into VR today, a new procurator has joined the team and a bunch of information about the new database setup
Today is an awesome day f'sure
Baby bear : "Mummy Bear ?"
Mummy bear : "Yes Baby Bear ?"
Baby bear : "What kind of bear am I ?"
Mummy bear : "You're a polar bear, Baby Bear"
Baby bear : "Are you sure ? Mummy Bear"
Mummy bear : "Yes I am sure, Baby bear"
Baby bear : "Maybe you've made a mistake ..."
Mummy bear : "Look Baby Bear, we're living on an Artic iceberg, OK ?"
Baby bear : "OK Mummy Bear, but ..."
Mummy bear : "and, Baby Bear, you're white."
Baby bear : "OK Mummy Bear, but maybe I am a grizzly bear"
Mummy bear : "No Baby Bear, I'm your mummy and I am a polar bear"
Baby bear : "Well, Mummy Bear, maybe I am a black bear."
Mummy bear : "You can't be Baby Bear, Daddy Bear is a polar bear too"
Baby bear : "What about a koala bear ...."
Mummy bear : "Look, Baby Bear, you're a polar bear, that's it ... why do you keep asking ?"
Baby bear : "because I'm cold"
hehehehehe ... can't believe you read all that
In House Eternal, Stormwind had us go to this typing speed calculator
With both fingers and a thumb, I can do 31 wpm with five errors
I guess its something to work on :)
We had to do a huge pond today, its going to take a couple of days at least. The boss should really have started yesterday, then I would have been there to help him on day 2 but, instead, he's stuck finishing it alone tomorrow
hehehe
If you are making cheese on toast and want to put something yummy on the top - use brown sauce or red sauce ... just don't try peanut butter
yuk
COMMENTS
Yeeeeah.... Maybe we should add that to the database too...
Worcester sauce is good too.
....Peanut butter is good with everything though!
Yesterday was a good day *nods*, parental units sat around and we had great discussion about forum posts, was good - a little confusing at one point but was good. I am sure step dad is going to open a PM account here, simply because sometimes, rather than just helping me with that exact phrase I need, he will have his own opinion !!! pffft if he wants one of them, he had best get his own soapbox hehehe
Today was 'different' for me. Two great people here on VR got promoted, its been the first really major upheaval to affect me since I joined VR two years ago - I like cosy comfort of unchanging stuff, but change happens I guess. Dunno how I feel really ....
COMMENTS
Tell me about it Art!
I HATE change! You could have knocked me over with a feather when I logged in today!
I read it yesterday but having such a bad day myself I blocked it. Took me all night, this morning to take it in.
But its all good. :)
Change is wonderful it means life is continuing :) I always look upon it as a challenge for me to adapt to and still find enjoyment. Plus now you get to share your wonderful Images with all the rest of us :) Doe will do a great job just let her find her feet (with four of them it could be tricky) lol
