    10,000th post

    I think I have officially reached interwebz geekdom. For this is my 10,000th post! :clap: *passes the special coffee round* (I was going to say something more profound than making this quite pointless thread, but I'm tired, I'm on hayfever medication, I'm in the middle of exams and I feel that...

    Thread of interesting languages

    I think interesting languages are cool (so are boring ones) so I made a thread where we can write anything* we want in any language we choose, whenever we get those linguistic urges! *please keep it within the rules though, or I'll cry. I shall start. Ik moet zeker wat minder stroopwafels...

    The morality of wearing army shirts

    Some months ago, I came across a Facebook group (for that is the source from whence I get all my ethical quandries) which was angrily opposed to the wearing of army shirts, either second-hand and 'genuine', or imitation, by civilians. I was quite puzzled by this, as a civilian wearer of army...

    Would appreciate prayers/good wishes

    I'm currently frantically searching for a work placement abroad, and have been ignored or rejected by every company I've applied to (totalling well over 30 now). It's really demoralising to discover yet another rejection in your inbox when you wake up. I've signed up to internship agencies...

    Eurovision 2008

    I know it's a little bit early, but who are we backing for Eurovision this year? I haven't heard any of the potential entries yet, but I've heard disturbing rumours about the Irish one. Involving a bird. Which sings.

    No Country For Old Men

    I've just seen this and I think it's amazing. Anyone else seen it? I would recommend seeing it, although it's perhaps not to everyone's taste (quite a lot of violence)

    Faith

    I posted a similar topic in the main bit of WWMC, but I was especially interested in what you guys have to say. So here I am, asking you. Have you ever struggled with faith, and do you continue to do so? Were these struggles at an especially difficult time in your life, or did they happen when...

    Wearing leather

    As a vegetarian, do you wear leather? If not, why not? And if so, why?

    "What will happen to us who want to believe, but cannot?"

    (you get 10 points if you get the film quote reference from the title) For those of you with religious faith of some kind, does it come naturally to you? That is to say, do you find it easy to believe, and if so, have you always experienced this? Or if you find faith more of a struggle, what do...

    Michael Portillo

    Anyone see the programme he was in the other night: Horizon's How to Kill a Human Being? What are your thoughts on it? (It's probably still on the BBC's rather wonderful iPlayer, if you want to see it!)

I'll start off by posting one of the first poems I read in Dutch, which also happens to be one of my...
