    I imagine a major PR campaign for typical Brittish cousine would do the trick.

    How about all the stock footage of thousands and thousands of uniformed, grim-faced Londoners marching at high speed along grey streets without a single smile nor hint of eye-contact among them?

    I think that may have actually been footage of China.

    And they only looked depressed like that because they had heard that Drog was coming over.

    In that case, I guess the broken radiator isn't such a big deal.

    I think this thread is now over, since Dark Elf has solved your problem.

    Are you angling for some kind of "Thread police" avatar?

    I may not have solved the problem, actually; the duct tape may not be able to withstand the pressure. A piece of rubber and a hose clamp is probably a better solution.

    The hole was at the top of the radiator so the pressure isn't high, and for once my landlord has been a bit co-operative so there should be someone coming to sort it Monday. I'm just not very pratical when it comes to household repairs so duct tape didn't immediately spring to mind like it probably would for your average person, also Yahoo Answers only yielded "scrap the radiator" which wasn't too useful for me. In any case yes, problem solved.

    Doesn't mean the thread has to stop. Lets continue with religion, that's always easy.

    Recently met a girl that is a "believer", or how to translate that shit. (Troende).

    Any input besides the obvious dick jokes?

    I'm gathering this is a girl you're interested in? Well if you think her beliefs will interfere with your potential relationship then I guess it's a problem, but if you're open minded and don't really care either way I guess her being a believer isn't much of an issue.

    It IS an issue. Believe me, I've tried. Avoid it like it's the black plague on wheels.

    Religion kept me from getting laid once. A friend of mine also married a woman who declined "contact" until marriage due to religion.

    If you don't want to bring an existential crisis upon this woman, don't convince her to sleep with you. If you do, the opposite of what I just said works.

    A friend of a friend convinced his girlfriend in high school that Jesus was okay with anal sex. In fact, that Jesus wanted them to do it.

    Maybe you could take that line?

    Or wobbler could simply cite the apocryphal gospel of eve, a non-canonical portion of the New Testament. Non-canonical in that it's a lost portion of the Gnostic Bible.

    It promotes pulling out and swallowing, so there's that.

    I see. Haven't noticed, so I guess it can't be that bad. Also not sure for how long she can stay that way in the current social environment she lives in. Something's (hopefully) bound to happen.

    Oh g-d, "religious" people ARE so stupid.
    And by "religious" I mean those who didn't even read corresponding scriptures.

    Those following organized religions are known to pick and choose.

    Indeed, even according to the official gospels, it's unequivocal that Jesus and all his disciples believed absolutely in reincarnation, (to say nothing of the gospel of Thomas).

    Less certain, but still pretty obvious, is that John (-the Apostle, not -the Baptist or -the Divine) and Jesus were lovers. They definitely liked to cuddle, anyway, and always preferred the gay scene in any town they visited.

    I'd say that puts the cat among the pigeons but, unless Xyle appears, I guess we're all cats here. Anyone want to play God's Advocate?

    God is confusing as fuck, and therefore superior to us all - as if a mighty extra-dimensional nerd was playing D&D and gained 21 divine ranks for his PC, YHWH, thus gaining control of an Over-Deity with a chaotic neutral alignment. Amen.
