good thing Moonrakers jumped in, Mossy was talking to himself.

No change there then.

They even ignore me in OTB now

good thing Moonrakers jumped in, Mossy was talking to himself.

He's from Oxford, they are a bit 'special' in that part of the world.

Tephra

You don't have to be big, to cause a storm

On a similar vein... Mistral... a cold violent wind that appears from nowhere in the Mediterranean, and very often are not picked up on weather predictions.

Well, I will agree Mossy is special.

Just flipped through the pages and noticed I omitted one for last year, so I won't do one for this year.

Instead, I'll offer my contribution for next year in advance My word for 2011 is (at last) residency. Was supposed to do it this year (and last year, and the year before that), but beggar me if another little issue arose that caused me to delay it yet again (still doing my 6 months, though!).

BTW, the emos are to save you dear readers the need to comment upon my sheer illogical lunacy. Nurse!

I knew a german guy once that couldn't get his tongue around the zz part of azzhole and it came out as: 'he is an ash hole...'

he was quite good as an HV transmission electrical engineer, GIS switchgear protection, substations and all that...

'the contractor appears to be reluctant to comply with the contract requirements regarding provision of basic protection relays for blah, blah...'

'the contractor is an ash hole...'

he was a neighbor in Abu Dhabi and an excellent cook...could never keep up with him in de kitchen...

I watched an "expert" on nuclear energy being interviewed last night and he referred to the the folk from the International Atomic Agency Agency in Iran as "Fleshware" ..

I can only take heart from the description of an expert that an old guy explained to me many years ago.

SUCKERS : Anyone who thinks soccer is the beautiful game.
