Naw, just showing off to a fresh audience not yet pissed off with me!

Pahu?

Yes, Mega Mag, deep in dark the recesses of this forum, consigned to troll hell, there is mention of one Pahu, a persistent cretin, sorry, creationist who claims that science disproves evolution.

Creationist (pseudo-) science that is. Which is of course,  a mismush of miss-quoted-out-of-context stuff bent (beyond breaking point in some cases) to fit the Yloh Elbib account.

So solid was his belief that knocking bricks out of his edifice with the JCB of Evidence weakened it not. I fear I sank from rationality to ridicule in my approach to him - but there is only so much repetitive copy and paste one humble humanist can take    He had no understanding of wot he "wrote".

Hmmmmm!

Tescos are selling Lindt chilli chocolate again!

Yum!

Of course, being Tesco, it was no-where near the confectionary aisle but in the wine one. Hmmm, Merlot and chilli choc, close to heaven (if there were such a place).

OK, it will not help my gout but, bugger it, one has to live dangerously at times!

Wait, you have gout?  So you're human.  I have it, too, sometimes, in my right big toe.  Too much rich food and beer.

I've had it twice. I have to say it f***ing hurts!

I am not actually sure that I suffered from gout per se.

Went to my GP with tales ofvwoe regarding a series of pains that had condensed into my keft foot. From previous experience I was sure it was tendonitis andcwas after some highmlevel cocodamol, normal stuff not touching it, so I could get some sleep at night.

However blood tests did indicate raised uric acid levels. Research indicated none of my symptons were typical of gout, but I did take a look at my diet. Now had a second blood test and await results but have suitable medication on standby.

As I said elsewhere, half the foods that are good for my ticker are bad for gout and vice-versa. Add in the foods that work against warfarin, and are therefore banned, and life gets boring!

So I live dangerously and just reduce the trigger foods rather than cut them out. I had peas with lunch yesterday!!!

I was just kidding when I suggested Pahu brought you here.

Nope, sort of stumbled on you guys whilst looking for other atheist/secular/humanist forums that weren't too abrasive. My other forum is going thtough a veryvquiet patch at the moment, but I have not deserted them.

I'm my own agent, don't need no supernatural incorporates or myths to point me in the right direction!

I thought you were asking who Pahu was, Mags, you are too subtle for me  The only thing Pahu might send me to is the madhouse.

At the time of the wars of the roses, 'Gloucester' was the usual title of the man who became Richard III.  Just stay away from Bosworth, Gloucester!

I was leaving all possibilities open.  For all I know, it could have been a witch.

Gloucester has a patchy history. Daniel Defoe, on his perambulations around the realm, gave an account of Gloucester's history but, effectively, dismissed the then city as, "... nice cathedral, interesting bridge ..."

Not so long ago Shell left it out of their touring book altogether. In "Dancing with Sabrina" the author extolled the bewuty of most towns on the Severn but hardly looked into Gloucester - he did not like a pub called "The Baker Street", then a bit run down, and judged the whole place on that.

Gloucester has a fantastic history and heritage, despite what the Victorians and 1960s "brutalist" style developers did,  but a string of city councils have, basicaly, done the city no favours at all - neither builfing on the tourist aspect nor dragged the city into the modern age. Cheltenham has virtually no history but has developed a whole "festival" culture that makes it a great place. Gloucester tries but never seems  to spend quite enough cash, time or energy to make it unique and successful, several half completed grand ideas that have been money drains.

Great shame.

The Civil War began there with the battle of Powick Bridge in 1642, and finally finished with the battle of Gloucester in 1651.
