    Meat is murder, fish is justifiable homicide!

    Ducks swim as well, so she would have been ok there too.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I put a sign on my door,just next to the letter box "No Junk Mail or Leaflets!" as we are plagued with it here,despite being on the MPS.

    Still doesn't stop the bloody Jahova's Witness's shoving their junk thru my slot every bloody Sunday!
    Jahova's haunt our neighbourhood too, it seems they cannot read these signs, as they are "blinded" to a bigger sign they always want to "share". Ironically they skip this trend over Christmas.

    In most cases of Cold Calling, from Energy suppliers to Charities for a good cause, I would hope that such an unobtrusive "notice" has been enough of a deterrent or simply a "hint" to give my door a miss. If they still think it is worth the risk, not only can I guarantee they have lost this "incredible" deal, but so does the polite way in which it originally was made clear.

    I remember during a meal with friends, we questioned a vegetarian about their choice of fish, after hours of debate and much rational arguments to n fro, it was finally concluded that eating fish is different.......Because it is. ;):D

    Wonder if they eat whale? That's a big sort of fish.
    Well it swims anyway.

    I agree. A sad state of affairs in this once profoundly Christian Country. But now due to this PC nonsense, the rights of Ethnic Minorities, women and Homosexuals come before that of Christians.
