I would definitely go to a pirate wedding!

Judging by the article the bloke seems a complete mental fantasist who thinks marriage won't change anything. She'd better slap that out of him proper quick once the honeymoon is over

I had fettuccine for tea to celebrate this auspicious occasion. I had hoped to celebrate with my parrot by my side but she is nowhere to be found. Polly is a Norwegian blue, if you see her please contact me. Ta.

I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but I heard a report that she had died, and is no more. That she is, in fact, an ex-pat ex-parrot. (I have my colander over my heart as I type this.)

Eh? They have two deeply committed, intelligent parents who also have a fantastic sense of humour and, by the looks of it, lots of friends who are similar.

I love these people, what a great sense of fun they have.

All hail the magnificent Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Re: NZ triumph for religious freedom

For those who don't know the joke, here is Wikipedia's entry for the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. About a quarter of the way down the page, there is a wonderful chart that attributes Global Warming to the alarming decline in the number of pirates in the world. It's as convincing as most charts I've seen lately...
