Question asked in a world-wide UN survey: "Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world? The survey was a huge failure In Africa they didn't know what "food" meant. In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" meant. In Western Europe they didn't know what "shortage" meant. In China they didn't know what "opinion" meant. In the Middle East they didn't know what "solution" meant. In South America they didn't know what "please" meant. And in the USA they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant...

They're on their way...

Wow! Cool post. I can't believe you can actually see them from the shore. It must be mind-blowing to have one on the of you line! I was only joking about the C&R of those babies. Can you imagine it? Hauling them beside the boat and asking them politely to open wide while daddy retrieves the hook. I heard that pound for pound, you'll get plenty of yooyoos for a bluefin at market. I wonder if you are allowed to keep what you catch from that charter?

"Children are cordially welcome with us. On our children's game-place, they can romp after hug-desire!!" Who the F*** is 'Hug Desire'? And would you allow your children to 'romp' after him/her/it?!?! It just goes to show that you should never use machine translation for a sentence that contains 'children', 'desire' and 'romp'. Are there any German speaker in this forum? If so could they translate this? quote: Auf Spiel-Platz unserer Kinder können sie romp nach umarmen-wünschen!!

A 'MSc Computer Systems Security' - is that what you really want to do? What is your primary degree? If it is computer related degree, go for a masters that is business related. Then you get the best of both worlds and would be more benefitial in your future career. BTW, I didn't know Glamorgan was in Wales. Always thought it was on Scotland, but there you go. I must have missed class that day.

You should apologse to stud owners as well

Wow 62% would "Tell no one. Then buy a house by the sea/river/lake and fish the rest of your life away". An expected result?

The 9th of November or 9/11 For those who use the date format Day/Month/Year, the 9th of November is the Dedication of St. John, Lateran Basilica in Rome. Or it could be Restore East Bay Wetlands Day in Oakland. Or The Holland Grill is having a demo at the Best Home Appliances Phoenix, call 602-482-2737 for more info. Or the Greenville Independent School is having the Girl's Basketball team play Lone Oak, while the Boy's Basketball team will be playing Tyler Lee at the same time. That's what happening. For those who use the date format Month/Day/Year, 9/11 was that terrorist attact thing, Twin Towers and all that. Or it is the feast day of St. Adelphus - a Benedictine abbot. He was the grandson of St. Romaricus and served as his successor as abbot of Remiremont. Adelphus died at Luxeuil, France. Now for those who use the date format Year/Month/Day or Year/Day/Month, I'm not really sure what went on on those dates. Sorry I can't be more of a help.

Take it easy there Paul! We're only having a bit of fun - lets not take things too seriously, shall we?

quote: We know Dubya wants him out, cos he's said so, but Saddam will still be there putting 2 fingers up to the US! Who's fooling Who? Yip. Iraq are experts at this cat and mouse game. It all seems unconditional at this stage but when the arms inspector actually arrive at a site it could be different story.

Hear the news this morning? Iraq has given in to arms inspectors, which stops the US from bombing the s*** out of them. But is this just a stalling tactic or is this the end of all this Iraq business? Only time will tell.

I put in my Dads details, who died last year, and he out lived any of the predictions it came up with (well except for optimistic). Way to go Dad!

Looking good. Big improvement on before, keep up the work.

Where would we be without the good old U S of A? Or should we ask the question where would we NOT be without USA? Well to start with we can safely say that the world would be a far more dangerous place. More wars that's for sure. Who would there be to stop the Germans, the Russians, the French or the British from taking over the world? These people can't help themselves. Always running off having a world war every 40 years. A terrible lot really. Overall, or more or less, the USA is a benign force in the world - without it we wouldn't have the quality of life we have today. OK, Vietnam, their support of the death squads in Latin America, and formation of their Republican Party have not been their proudest moments, but overall they're grand. The worlds policemen keeping law and order. GB America.

Athlone! Sorry to hear that

Not true. I'm in top management (how do you think I have all this time for this BB) and my sport of choice is fishing. No balls needed in this sport unless you mean lead balls?

Paul, you're taking the p*** here aren't you?
