I reckon the real mystery has to be how the Post Office only took 11 weeks to deliver the letter (assuming the date is correct and it's just arrived). Is this some kind of record? Is the postman the toast of the sorting office now, "Ernie, the Fastest Postie in the West"?

I've heard about a Christmas card that took over 100 years to arrive (it fell in a chimney IIRC) and others over 50 years (got lost between machines and cupboards I think). Never had anything that bad myself though :lol:

But I cannot read this handwriting, I'm afraid :oops: (says the one with a very legible handwriting :innocent: :lol: :oops:)

Just saw something about a Cat of Nine Tails in there. Brrrrr. Not too sure a transcription would be wise.

Unless it gives us an excuse to do Pirates again! Arrrrr.

It's all bollocks about how we should still be beating kids as "a deterrent", and how the Government should, and I quote, (because I can read it) "get back to the Holy Scriptures for instruction in righteousness and not lean on their own understanding".

So a rough translation would be "Don't write laws based on what we know now, base right and wrong on the nth translation of a book written thousands of years ago by ill-educated people who didn't know any better."

Yes, that's a good way of running a country, isn't it? </oozing scarcasm>

Just had a very brief scan through.

Obviously deranged. This kind of person needs help more than anything else.

Right. Because our interpretation of sources is somehow more credible than our interpretation of experience. Obviously.

Well obviously. We can't have people making up their own minds about things, now. :urff:
