Hi to Taharka, People Korps, Cue, Juan Reley, Andrew49 and 5intheface.

Welcome to our new place. Make yourselves at home here, and give the thread making facilities a good work out. :)

We'll be getting the forums laid out in the next day or two - in the mean time, new threads can go in the "Main Category".

Nice place you have here, maybe just needs a porch or a lean-to for the turf. I'm sure you have that all planned out. Congratulations thus far.

The control panel is like the Star Ship Enterprise. :o

But it has (all will have) all the necessary bells and wheels that our members need.

A good turf fire for these polar evenings can be arranged.

We'll make sure it is.

Sorry the tea is slow arriving. I think I have to enable it somewhere.

There is a lot of work still to be done to this place. If Tok hadn't been so unstable, we would have waited another few days before moving in.

Hi Xray - glad you made it!:)

Tok! was our temporary place, and was inclined to shut itself down without warning. We have been planning to move to this new improved place for weeks. Politicalworld.org only opened yesterday, and we will be doing quite a bit more work to it, so any suggestions are welcome.

We'll be moving favourite threads from Tok! over here, a bit at a time.

G'day mate. Censorship is alive and well on certain sites. Lies and other smears are the norm also. As is the reading of private messages. Be careful online. Dont post to much anti FF stuff either, as certain people with vested interests will try their best to stop you, and will stoop at nothing when it comes to smears, lies and silencing.

That'll be interesting to see then, as about 50% of my posts* are aimed against the current government and their policies. If I get targeted then we'll know something has changed.

*the other 50% being sports....

It is not at all healthy... but Fridays... are Fridays (and I swore I'd never become a Monday-Friday monkey)

Also if there are any kids out there: be very careful with Mephedrone, as it is like but stronger than E, the same effects as Coke also, and quite like Speed.

I've no freakin' idea how come it ended up legal, and a much milder drug , E , is Class A

Currently into week 125 of Lent, is there no end in sight? I've taken a loose interpretation of Lent in that I am allowed to drink from sundown on Saturday to sundown on Sunday. Oh, and St Patrick's Day ofc.

I think its best to forget about the other place, maybe Cactus will set up a thread to allow people to ***** about the place (within reason), which is understandable as a few people were very hard done by over there.

This place is about a new beginning, a place where we can all debate free from the worries of a self appointed cabal banning members and manipulating debates.

Look forward and not back.

No, it's a regular cigarette, dope doesn't agree with me at all, never touch the stuff - if I'm at a party and someone lights up a spliff I usually move to another room for the duration, makes me violently ill for some reason.

But that's me in the pic, yeah, at a very silly and fun fancy dress party about a year ago with an "American trailer trash" theme :D
