Thieving "TCs" want to keep hold of stolen north!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Have_one's ... eat_it_too

To have one's cake and eat it too is a popular English idiomatic proverb or figure of speech... It is most often used negatively, meaning an individual consuming, exhausting, taking advantage of or using up a particular thing and, then, after that thing is gone or no longer reasonably available, still attempting to benefit from or use it.

Thank you for the "Wiki" definition (are there no depths to which you would not stoop?) .... but how does that improve your answer?

Are you suggesting one should not try to benefit from the truth, perhaps?

Oy, hold your tounge, only we can call the old witch that. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Infact we are going to apply the old 18 century witch test on her soon.

Now this is when you begin to insult me, and we will no longer be friends, gloves are off and no Queensberry rules either.
Don't you dare ever put me at the low intelligence level of Oracle who graduated from the Greek Orthohodox Church Creationism department?

There is an existing good and efficient scientific test already. You dunk the witch under water for an hour, if she survives, then you burn her. It was used in the 18th century and worked every time. Why reinvent the wheel?

Apologies for mistaking you for a thinking person. Run along and play with YFred .... you two bigots can swap sexist sophisms.

He's in your league, not mine. And calling you a witch isn't sexist. What was the Priestess of the Oracle at Delphi, if not a witch?
