Satan Goes To Church
Just minutes before the church services started the towns people were sitting in their pews and talking.
Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church.
Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate. Soon, everyone had exited the church except for one elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his pew without moving, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy was in his presence.
So Satan walked up to the old man and said, "Don't you know who I am?
The man replied, "Yep, sure do."
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Satan asked.
"Nope, sure ain't," said the man.
"Don't you realise I can kill you with a word?" asked Satan.
"Don't doubt it for a minute," returned the old man, in an even tone.
"Did you know that I could cause you profound, horrifying, physical agony forever?"
"Yep," was the calm reply.
"And you're still not afraid?" asked Satan.
"Nope."
More than a little perturbed, Satan asked, "Well, why aren't you afraid of me?"
The man calmly replied,
"I’ve been married to your sister for 45 years."

I am sure you are a very nice person really.
Like you say it all depends on where you live. I lived in a small village growing up and never even heard of drugs until I was in my 20s....Sheltered but great upbringing.
Now its plastered all over the TV about drugs and you can not protect kids from it like when I was a kid. I blame the media for giving it tv space and making us to aware of it. For example my Son loves The Simpsons and sometimes it refers to drugs and violence...how do I stop him from watching it when all his mates watch it. Sorry get of my soap box now!

Re: This might change your mind about moving back
A completely unreliable, uncreditable source from t'internet tells me that the UK is going down the pan? It must be true! We all know that everything you read on the wibbly wobbly web is true, after all, and our own experiences count for nothing. I barely even remember how to form my own opinion any more - I'm so used to being told what to think. I'm cancelling the flights now. Do you think I'll get my shipping deposit back?
I think you will get your deposit back if you burn your UK passport
(PS on a personal note have a good trip back and keep us posted)

Re: This might change your mind about moving back
Thank you.
I got your PM by the by. I've not been ignoring you, honest! Just stoopidly busy trying to tie up loose ends and finish off my MA and stuff. We might take you up on your offer though, should we ever decide to head back and end up oop north.
