I'm actually thinking of going 70's Retro, and hanging wallpaper. At the moment I'm torn between these designs:

 

 

but since the toilet is on the western side of the house, the colours might be too warm to generate the desired ambiance.

Do you suffer from constipation? Those should be a cure.

I'd try Prunes, preferably.  Fear can help too. It's a natural function when you're $#!T scared.  Nev

The 'saults I was talking about are somersaults.

[facthunter]

What do you do in winter?  Nev

[Bruce Tuncks]

Well you got me there OME....  I have never done a somersault in the dunny in my life. Don't expect to either.

Taking them worse than taking Epsom salts.

Organised religion seems to be the Fuel that "Fires" most disputes in the world. Where if has most power is where people are Oppressed the most. IF it's SO Bl@@DY GOOD why do you have to enforce it so  savagely? 

 Answer Because it's about CONTROL Look at IRAN.  Afghanistan Turkeyey, Saudia.  Nev

It's a lot better talking with Atheists. You don't have to watch every word you say.  Nev

I thought I wrote a post some time ago about a Catholic mother and baby home in Ireland wher many babies died and were simply thrown in a sewage pit  rather than be given a dignified burial. I recently saw another program about people who  were born in Catholic mother and baby homes (to unmarried mothers) in Ireland, and were trying to trace their birth parents, Their efforts were made almost impossible because, despite it being illegal since the 1870's, they had fake birth certificates issued in the name of their adoptive parents. This occurred between as recently as 1950 - 1970. In most cases, they have only been able to make the matchup since the introduction of DNA searches,

I think this belongs here, rather than the A.I. thread, although they are connected.

 

It debates beliefs with regard to A.I. and where tech oligarcs seem to be leading our world...... somewhere.

The reason for an 'unchristian ' burial.  

Is they were not baptised as Christians. 

The first white woman , born in NSW , IS Not buried in a Christian grave , as she was born out of

Wedlock to her mothers employer , and is buried on a  private property in " Rousehill  NSW ".

" unmarked " . Not even a cross or headstone .

Lumby for acres bought the place,

only to find a ' caveat '  preventing, building within sight of the ' heritage listed house ' .

I read another report which plunged Pope Francis into a very sordid place. According to the report, he covered up the sex crimes of a number of senior clergy, including one charged with the violent rape of nuns, and another who set up a seminary in Brazil for young men so he could sexually abuse them.

How about quoting your "reliable" source?  You are defaming a person even atheists admire. Nev

[red750]

It was the National Catholic Register. I cannot locate the original article but some of the details are summarised here.

 

 https://www.ncregister.com/news/the-father-rupnik-case-a-timeline

 

Father Rupnik is the priest who allegedly raped the nuns, particularly Sister Ana who broke her arm trying to fight him off. When the nuns complained about the possibility of getting pregnant, he said "Get an abortion."

 

Also read about the McCarrck case in this report.

You Don't "have" to bring it up here at this time do you? What's your purpose, and so close to the funeral.  You must know it would offend some people.  Nev
