Just why are we at each other's throats at the moment?
The number of accusations of posting insults over the past few days has been amazing and in each case the insult has been confined to the mind of the person who claimed to be insulted.
OK, it's interesting to the bystanders in a tabloid kind of way, but we're capable of better.
If you lay yourself bare in public, you open yourself up to comment inevitably. If you don't like the comment it becomes an insult. There is a saying: Truth hurts. You have to be prepared to take the consequences of your actions.

I am taking a back seat to all this I learned my lesson last time. So I think I'll keep to myself for a bit.
But I will say that we are one big family and every family has there fights.

So say what you want
(You know I'm wasting all my time)
You've gotta mean it when you say what you want
(You're only safe when you're alone)
And everybody's on your mind
Saying anything to get you by

Up here in the cold place the moon was about 1/2 last night when Alex and I went for our walk. hopefully that information will be useful in determining the cause. I blame Werewolves entirelly.
Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?

... of the Scottish Association of Werewolves (SAW for short) I must lodge the most strenuous objection to Andy's implication that we should work at the half moon in addition to our existing duties at the full moon and the new moon.
You have no idea how exhausting and stressful a werewolf's life has become since the introduction of new Government regulations. Nowadays, we are obliged to take a blood sample and have it analysed before we can drink our victim's blood. Have you any idea how embarrassing it can be to say to a potential victim: "Oops, sorry about penetrating your jugular with my extended canine tooth; would you mind awfully sleeping in this comfy coffin (US: casket) for the next month or so until the National Health Service gives me permission to rip your throat out?"
I can cope quite well with change, but I've only been an accredited werewolf for 962 years; consider the problems our elderly members have in dealing with the paperwork. Added to the increasing problem of American Werewolves in London, it hardly seems worthwhile to continue our ancient traditions. And anyway, I'm beginning to like the taste of garlic!

... that Scottish Black Pudding comes in three-yard lengths (2.75 metres if you insist on being pedantic!). Are you absolutely sure that you have an orifice which can cope?

... you know perfectly well that I'm full of shit ... which means, of course, that there's absolutely no room for black puddings, even if KY assisted!
Mind you, I reckon I could eat a yard or two, if you've got mushrooms and onions to help it down?

Be Patient Sailor, its 9:35 am and werewolves shed their wolf skin at daylight and hide.
Anyway I think he is being fanciful thinking he is a werewolf. I think it's more likely he is a Berserker.

Not a lot happened that year.
We got rid of the Danish kings in 1042 - you've probably heard of them. There was of course Swein Forkbeard (usually known to the English as Swine Fuckbeard), but he didn't last long. Then we had Canute (known in Scandinavia as Knut) and his children of doubtful legitimacy - Halfacanute, Hardlicanute and Probablynotatallcanute. Canute was of course the king who sat on the shore (wisely, just above the high tide line) and commanded the sea to go back, thus creating the entirely false impression that Britannia rules the waves; in fact, Britannia has always been rather better at waiving the rules.
1044 was the second year of the reign of Edward the Confessor; he was beginning to cause some concern by confessing to things that happened before he was born, but Earl Godwine of Mercia got him interested in building Westminster Abbey, and that kept him occupied for the next 22 years.
It may be that those irritating Norwegians began to resume holiday cruises to the North-East coast, but they soon left after the English started charging for the hire of deck-chairs.
Oh, and that was the year I was born - for the seventeenth time, as I recollect! By the way, what's your blood group? Fancy calling in for a no-obligation, free-of-charge test?

There'd be no point in doing a blood test on me, you'd be battling to find any in the brandy stream.

About waves - we always make waves on the ferries crossing the North Sea, but also on flights between Oslo and Heathrow or Stansted. What worries us is that new regulations will probably not allow the usual portion of mead and crushed fly agaric in our hand luggage. It's as if the authorities believe that cheap Spanish wine can create proper waves. My father Odin punish them for their ignorance!
I can assure you that deck-chairs have nothing to do with this. In real wave-making, inside or outside the ship, it's impossible to sit on flimsy deck-chairs. We leak down towards the floor and the bottom of the ship, not so easy in Boeings and Airbuses, though.
I was beginning to fear that Edward the Confessor was involved in your birth, but wasn't he childless? Probably gay. But I'm sure that Harald Hardrada impregnated a lot of ladies during his time on the island, and you could just be lucky enough to be of Norwegian descent! Anyway, perhaps it's not only Timmy who mingles with the crumbling remnants of British Royalty. (I'd love to see your family tree.)
During winter, when it's too cold for mercury, we use blood in our thermometres. What's typical about my blood type is its high content of mead and traces of fly agaric, so I'll be happy to serve you a drink, if your fragile royal body can take it.
