mr2mk1g 10 #9 February 25, 2004 If I lean back I can see this too. Theres loads of beautiful old buildings round me as Im in the old financial district. Below me are the old docklands (bristol has been an important port for centuries) which have been regenerated into posh bars and a science museum with loads of large modern art exhibits outside.

mr2mk1g 10 #11 February 25, 2004 I miss out on the fly-by's. Although we did get one from Concorde late last summer as she flew in on her last flight to spend her retirement at the airfield down the road from my house. I get to see her parked up every time I drive to the mall. (oh and theres a supermarine Spitfire at the airfield that practices its aerobatics over the house some weekends... but I only get to see that if I dont go to the DZ so its a pleasure/pain thing).

Zeemax 0 #24 February 25, 2004 no seriously, his only method of converting people is the following lines.. 'are you a sinner or a winner?' 'if you sin you're never going to get into heaven' 'let jesus into your life...' Thats it, thats all he's got. He just keeps repeating it all day every day up and down oxford street on his megaphone...

mr2mk1g 10 #25 February 25, 2004 Go over and tell him he's made a big mistake and that he's actually Hindu. Tell him he's never gonna attain Moska and have his soul unify with Brahman if he keeps on like that. Also he should go off and prey to Ganesh and stop spouting this heretical nonsense.
