    taking a fucking bow
    I accept that award, thank you very much. I couldn't get my brain around why folks were upset that Gans had edited the word Fuck out of his post! My choices were to give them many many fucks to contend with, or perhaps to start editing their posts for them, to include Fuck. this fuck provided by: izzie

    Indeed, the terms ‘feckin’’, ‘fecked’ and ‘fecker’ are all in use and can be used as an alternative to that other word, except there is not really a sexual connotation. The terms are quite commonly heard in Ireland and as they are a degree less offensive than the word with the ‘u’ instead of the ‘e’ For a real education in the use of feck, try to see the wonderful comedy show ‘Father Ted’, featuring three bizarre Irish priests ministering to the population of the remote Craggy Island. It showed in Channel 4 in the UK and I start laughing just thinking about it...the network seemed unconcerned about the amount of feckin' in the show.... but I do not know if it was exported Any Irish correspondents out there to provide further illumination? sorry for the diversion from the awards ....but hey..what the feck!

    thus "feck" is a good suggestion, cosmicbadger. Can it be used JUST like the other word, ie:fecking, etc?

    use of the F word
    to help Tigerlilly in her dilemma I can reveal the following The owners of this website have assumed complete control over the f word (and its derivatives) on this site and for unexplained and frankly suspicious reasons have delegated its exclusive use to izzie They are however amenable to non commercial trading, so if you are desperate to use the naughty expletive you have to persuade izzie to leave it out of one of her posts! Fortunately the lawyers who designed this arrangement inadvertently overlooked the popular Irish term 'Feck' which is entirely free for use whenever and wherever you like, and, according to Wikipedia ' is syntactically interchangeable with fuck, though it has no sexual connotations' oooops PS

    Thanks TigerLilly.....
    I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thanks again and just want you to know that I'm working on a new one that I hope will be as good with more common and interchangeable items. Bon appetit!Congratulations to my nemesis (Dr.) Golden Road. We've known each other so long I feel as though he's become my alter ego. Oh and I'm glad you're over the Lyme's disease, Marshun. That's a terrible affliction and not always easy to get properly diagnosed. You guys are all fantastic and the bright part of my day.... The Dude Abides!

I'm sure mixed emotions are involved, but it's pretty cool just the same!

I thought he looked pretty pleased about the whole affair. Good for him, not bad for a California dude, by way of London, England. So...I ordered his new Live at BBC box from Universal in the UK. Received a shipping notification on 6/14, hasn't arrived yet. CB, how long should I wait before I start getting nervous? No idea what a typical overseas delivery would be, and no tracking info either...

Is that a nuclear war, and a coronation of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ?An outstanding halo will prove it to all.

Gratefaldean - in my experience of sending vines, shipping to the US normally takes 10 -14 days so you should get it soon.....hope you do anyway. I have not ordered 'Live at the BBC' yet, but I should do.. Does Thompson live in California now? I had no idea. Anyway he does indeed looks pleased to get some recognition from his home country. Good for him; he is right up there with the best of them..

one suspects this was not on his mind back in the day. Or any other time either. But it's well deserved and it's a treat to see. (And folks, if RT comes to your town and you have not seen him, check him out, and not just because the Queen likes him now!)

Congratulations to Alex Allan on his knighthood. Officially it is for his public service including as the UK Chairman of the Joint Intelligence Committee. But we know it is for his services as a Deadhead, prioprietor of the Grateful Dead Lyric And Song Finder (www.whitegum.com) and author of sleeve notes for the Europe 72 Set.
