If you're very (un)lucky you may get one, but it won't be from me

Why else was admin invited?

[ladymuck]

Does that mean I'm not going to get a lap dance?

I think it's favouritism. Where's my cancellation?

An offer is not an agreement

Thats what ex-mrs-bp said.....

[ladymuck]

It was about to be issued. But then you agreed to lend NAT your spare Christmas Jumper.

And there was me grappling with the several million reasons not to go to Manchester...

[Mordac]

Most of which revolve around the fact that we almost always lose in Manchester...

[Mordac]

And your invite to the Manchester social is cancelled.

[BrilloPad]

And I wonder why I don't get invited to so many parties these days...

I think it's a never ending cycle of bang - expansion - contraction - bang - expansion - contraction. Every now and then it's all turned off and then back on again.

We don't have evidence for the contraction part yet as we're still in the expansion phase.

That's why some people think they've had former lives, and is the reason for people believing in reincarnation and stuff.

I look forward to living my life backwards.....

What Came First: Inflation Or The Big Bang?

Inflation came first, and its end heralded the arrival of the Big Bang. There are still those who disagree, but they're now nearly a full 40 years out of date. When they assert that "the Big Bang was the beginning," you'll know why cosmic inflation actually came first. As far as what came before the final fraction-of-a-second of inflation? Your hypothesis is just as good as anyone's.

I think it was God dying.....

And if was the Big Bang, what caused it? My original theory of one of MFs ancestors farting after a particularly good lunch hasn't exactly met with universal approval from the scientific community.

Nobody has been able to explain what was there before the BB. My own (new) theory is that the BB was two huge galaxies colliding, destroying the previous universe, and what we have now is the new universe expanding into the space vacated by the old one.

And I wonder why I don't get invited to so many parties these days...
