Ever wondered what witches get up to on a night out?

Bahaha, hell hath no fury like a woman’s sarcastic french lesson. Nice one K.

Relax Thumper, you’re alright fella. Incidently that’s why I don’t submit links (or many posts for that matter), I am not savvy to the ways of computer stuff. Easy mistake to have made.

Not sure what you’re on about Mael, but “au contraire mon frere” means “to the contrary, my brother” and frere is indeed a real french word, it just normally has an accent but i’ll be buggered if I know the html for doing accents.

and bulldog, i tend to get sarcastic when i get annoyed. remember me telling thumper off for not explaining linked stories?

K, I think his comment was in relation to something that was said in a movie, the name of which escapes me.

He has spelt frere out phonetically, I’m unsure if it is an actual word in french.

I’m thinking it’s fred estaire, using rhyming slang in a movie something like ‘singing in the rain’…

Does that ring any bells ?

K – You’d by the only one referring to Bonfire as ‘mon chere’… Horses for courses though.

Ok I know I’m coming in a bit late, but every time I look at this thread it bugs me that bonfire said “au contraire mon frere” when addresseing LG.

Now I’m reasonably sure we’ve confirmed LurkerGal as indeed being a gal (unlike Absent Diane) and as such if a familiarity must be used, for goodness sakes get the grammar right!

Je croit que vous voudriez dire “au contraire MA SOEUR” ou meme peut etre “ma fille”, mon cher Bonfire.

Bonfire, you’ve never seen AFL players ?

rg im not sure, bit you know all those friends who say ‘mate i didnt want to say anything at the time, but…’ well they’ve all been told to tell me at the time.

on a serious note, i found a lot of people involved in the wicca stuff to be very fragile.

its all about happiness and light, which is a change from fire and brimstone. they move in a diff circle to the black magic crowd. harmless and reasonably friendly. it was the first group of people i encountered who were always hugging each other.

very strange.

I agree with JB, in a non-interfering and non-inquisitive kind of way, a RA reporter on the ground to detail what’s going on during an event in Canberra is nothing but a good thing.

if you people knew the fruitloops ive dated…

Were they fruitloops before or after they dated you?

Well LG, if you want to get along to the pub and report back on the non-secret portions to set the record straight we’d all be very appreciative.

AND we’d be in thrall to what you’d have to say.

Bonfire, I think we are getting a pretty good idea..

Personally I think wiccans rock (pun intended). Just fruity enough to be interesting but don’t tell me I’m going to hell or try to blow me up, generally tolerant, don’t preach at me and like drinking. As far as religious beliefs go, not bad.

i also recalll carting rocks out of her bungalow to recharge by the full moon.

and something about saturn returns.

if you people knew the fruitloops ive dated…

Trust me Ralph, you don’t wanna see me skyclad.

Let me know next time you’re going sky clad under the full moon….

Wicca isn’t about materialism, so anyone who tells you it can help you get rich doesn’t quite know what they are doing…. (not necessarily through their own fault).

Mael: I understand where you are coming from. My friend’s Dad thinks I make patio furniture. lol.

For everybody else;

The ‘magic rocks’ were a collection of pebbles from my back yard that I brought in to tease a witch after accompanying her to a shop to buy some ‘special stones’ (or whatever they’re called).

The theory went along the lines of; They were magic because I said they were magic and since they were purchasing the rocks off somebody who was unqualified (or didn’t show me any qualifications to the contrary) who was saying they were magical, who were they to judge that my pebbles weren’t magical.

They were freeer at least, having come from my back yard.

I agree with bonfire. The day they told me there was a crystal that would make you rich just by having it in your possession, I began to think it was a little on the eccentric side of the house.

I know as much about wicca in that I thought it was spelt wicker. I’ve teased all the witches I’ve ever met and have not yet had any unsightly defects or broken bones despite all the bad karma I’ve had projected at me.

Then again, as Thumper will confirm, I’m sitting right behind a witch at my desk.

It’s all made-up… The only wicker is the type used in basket creation.

au contraire mon frere, i dated a witch many years ago. she sold advertising by day, held circles by night and practised as a psychic on weekends.it was what id call a challenging relationship. i recall the discussions we had over crystals and the power they allegedly held. she gave me a book PROVING how various crystals affected things, and it was pseudoscientific gobbledygook written in an incomprehensible style. despite her oddball beliefs, she was OK.

Thumper: But you’ll get better!

You really don’t know anything about Wicca, do you bonfire? Mind you, that’s never stopped you from having an opinion before…..

watch all the amethyst and cat food disappear from canberra store shelves.

yet more deranged people.

As a Wiccan I think that…. Oh who am I kidding. No one cares what I think. Leave it here.

If they met at a pub, maybe?

If it was the Catholics, definitely (I’m going to get sued for that aren’t I?)

Category: Seedier side of the city? Would a meeting of Presbyterian clergy be put in that category?
