Similarly the difference between God and a god.



What is a "god" then?

You're absolutely right, but considering the fact that Norwich has a capital N, I'm sticking with Moon.

And for the ten points - it's name isn't Luna, it's Sheila. Sheila the Moon.

Honestly, you people don't know anything! :P

That's a very good point.

In fact, I visited family in Windermere recently, and spotted this ridiculously un-news-worthy article in the local paper The Westmorland Gazette:

"White Ceiling
The Ceiling of the Windermere Town Council chamber at the offices in Broad Street in the town is to be repainted. Members, who were told that South Lakeland District Council was to carry out the work, agreed that the whole ceiling should be white.
"

Watch out for the "Local Sheep Worried by Stray Dog" article next week!

You're thinking of Nana Moon...

No, that's Sheila The Moon's mum's mum. They do bear a family resemblance, so you can be forgiven for mistaking the two.

nood wrote:The Moon (capital M thank you) has plenty to offer.

Firstly there's an abundance of cheese, for 80% of it is actually cheese. (The other 20% is a mixture of rice pudding, sodium and toothpaste.)

Secondly there are the Clangers, who are a family of pink socks. They're very friendly, although I can't understand a f***ing word they say.

Also, there's a man in the moon who's been living there for some time now. Few people know that it's not actually the original Man in the Moon; In 1942, when no-one was watching, the original Man in the Moon swapped places with the bloke who was on the other side of the Moon, which is commonly referred to as "the dark side". He was previously a Syth.

On the aforementioned "dark side" there also resides a family of hedgehogs who are responsible for turning the moon on or off depending on what time of day it is.

You don't get that in Norwich. Or Norway for that matter.

I hope this clears it up for you.

You've shattered my illusions. I thought this was the moon (note the letters above the moon may be a special effect):

If you believe, they put a man on the moon....

Mr Spoon I believe his name was.

Some religions have many gods. For example Vishnu is a god.

Ok so Maximus has disappeared, so I won't bother answering that one.
Fascinating debate this is. Makes Norwich seem rather cool that it is even being compared to the Moon now......Its a damn site cheaper to get to though.
Btw my stories were meant to be funny, Chris Moyles is funny, the whole thing is hilarious.
Don't quote get why some people are so wound up. :)
What I still dont get is how anyone can own land on the moon. And why they would do that - is it some kind of bizarre investment?

You just wait till they build that space elevator. Will be a quicker commute than the M25.

Yeah I've kind of worked that out.
The thread makes a good read though.

I have to admit transport to Norwich is pretty rubbish. Definitely needs improving. We could do with a spaceship to get here.

My post was a joke, you know, like your article?

Dunno why you got so wound up, it was meant to be funny, oh wait...

Because your article wasn't funny?

You were the one who got wound up - wound up enough to write an article which has since made you look a bit silly - but done wonders for Norwich, which is, I agree, a very lovely city.

If your article was meant to be humourous, sorry but it didn't come across as that?

It actually wouldn't surprise me if she did sign up... she sounds sad enough to do that just to whinge and try and make pathetic excuses.
By pinkysibbs
#263159
well whoever it is by posting messages like that it really isnt helping her cause it just makes her seem more desperate for attention/publicity by harping on about a fly away comment thats was ment as a joke!

At the risk of fanning the flames of publicity, CM is again the topic of debate in the Norwich Evening News, thanks to columnist Karl Minns. Any views?

It's quite pathetic that the NEN is dragging this two-bit story out. I don't care, Moyles doesn't care... so just shut the hell up and get back to reporting about cats up trees and stop trying to get publicity for your atmospherically-challenged little city.
