  1. hahaha... Fat chance When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca
  2. No doubt thats because those poor Canadians don't have guns to protect themselves against all the gun toting Yanks that come over the border! When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca
  3. Muslims aren't so different from Christians. Muslims believe that all other Muslims are their brothers and sisters and also have home groups where they discuss the Quran together. Also just as there are Christians who believe that its Gods will for them to blow up abortion clinics and their staff there are also nutters who claim to be Muslims. In neither case are they the majority or the norm. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

  5. Obama's speech in Russia today is a good start in regaining that respect. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

  8. No, for the last few years it was on the critical list and in the CCU however its currently in the HDU short term prospect not that great but it looks like it will make a stable recovery and there is no reason why the USA shouldn't have a long and happy life. Of course like any high level business leader thats had a heart attack it won't go back to the high stress posistion it once had but it will do ok in a directors posistion with a larger board guiding the larger community into the future.

  10. Its true, he's actually a British Muslim who went to Pakistan to study at a Madrasa.... Oh shit someone check his shoes before he gets back onto Air Force One!

  11. Spot on with the IF. There you go, to quote SA crime figures in support of an argument is a sick joke. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca
  12. Crime in SA is so bad people don't even bother calling the police allot of the time. When the Police do come they ask you if you want them to investigate the crime.

  17. Dr Hary Fair's assesment of the suitability of TRIGA reactors as power plants for portable rail guns is questionable to say the least. In determinig there size he has taken no account of the surrounding stuctures, combustion gas turbines, or underground containment. To say that they could be used mounted in a vechicle would seem to be prepostorous. Although there are other small reactors which claim to be portable eg: the Hyperion Power Module, NIKIET's new reactor, STAR and SSTAR all require gas turbines and underground containment.

  20. How the heck did they lose almost 55,000 bodies? That seems rather impossible to do. Many of the grave stones are only marked with "A soldier of the Great War/Known Unto God." At the start of the war, many soldiers had 'dog tags' that were compressed cardboard. More precisely, many bodies were/are unidentifiable. At some of the cemetaries the grave stones are touching to symbolize mass graves. And there are just some bodies that were never found in the chaos and destruction of 'No Man's Land.' Every year remains are discovered. Sometimes identified and the name is removed from the Menin Gate. Otherwise reburied as another "A soldier of the Great War/Known Unto God." /Marg So you're saying the bodies were actually found and buried, just not identified. That's quite a different thing from "bodies not found", that I initially believed you were saying. And not at all unusual during war. Many of them were not found John. Some blown into fragments by barage after barage, many burried alive. In many places its still not safe for farmers to plough their fields due to large quantities of unexploded ordinance that remains buried. Every year approx 900 TONS of UXO is recovered from Verdun alone. Therefore digging for bodies isn't the most safest of thing to do in the old battlefields so 55,000 isn't as wild sounding figure as you might think. Remember the casulty figures were mind blowing, In one day 1 July 1916 at the battle of the Somme the British alone suffered 57,470 casualties, including 19,240 dead. That battle went on for four and a half months. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca
  21. It was great, fantastic diving with an amazing array of aquatic life. Have dived in some of the best spots but this was the best by far. Very expensive though, rainy season at the moment but the weather was still pretty good. Great place for you to take your wife. The food was also fantastic. Quite a few Americans there and none of them had a hard time, all had a great time and a very friendly reception from the locals.

  22. Actually its not when a Union flag flys from anywhere on a Royal Navy ship that its refered to as a Union Jack but only when its flown from the Jack mast. I do know the difference but I am not popeye and until I just googled it didn't know that the Jack mast is the same as the Jack staff which is on the bow of the ship.... So yes, I guess we both learnt something new. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca
  23. So today I am in the Indian Ocean returning from an Island in the Maldives to Male. On the powered Dhoni that I'm on are six Australian Airforce personnel, they're larging it a bit and big timing a little. As we leave the island that we have been on there is a battle fleet sitting off and around the island. The Aussies (good blokes) suddenly grow quiet as we pass by a aircraft carrier with rigid raiders hanging off both sides and marines on the deck, the swell of the sea was nothing compared to the swell of pride in my chest to see the white ensign flying off the back of the ships and the Union flag flying from the bow. Quiet glad I was wearing dark sun gigs as I had to do a bit of blinking. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

  24. Sure it is. We're just a couple hundred years ahead of you guys. Our states began ceding sovereignty to the federal government 200 years ago. You guys are only 15 or so years into your changeover. We still have state legislatures, same as you've got a UK parliament. We also have a federal government, same as you have the European Union. You are right, only the naive, blind or stupid would not see it. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

  25. So what is it about northerners and the BNP? MEP (Member of the European Parliment) for Yorkshire and Humberside (North East of England and MEP for North West England both given to the BNP by the people of the north of England.
