Brazil is looking particularly fine, if not exactly safe for work viewing!![EVIL] More? (Brazil only at the moment). Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.

This is an occassion when I would smack someone ten times on the noggin before they knew what happened. It's "British Humour"! Be like all the other Americans and just laugh... As if you get the joke. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.

You mean Lord Lehman, MBE!!? Yeah... I can see tomorrow's English Tabloid headlines now: ""Gunner stuffs Argies... AGAIN!"" Nice to see the Argentina Team following in Diego Maradonna's footsteps. Except he only punched the ball!

That's a certainty! The WAGs aren't visiting Munich, or Ingolstadt until after the Portugal game. IF we can keep the WAGs away from Stuttgart until AFTER the final, the cup's as good as ours!

Fucking conspiracy theorists! Even if we win we'll be labelled cheats You'll NOT win! It's only neccessary to keep the WAGs shopping there until the final. In the meantime, theres a charter plane on standby to fly England Supporters back to their Scottish & Welsh homes. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

WAGs: Wives and Girlfriends (of the England Football Team). After the WAGs have been to (through?) a designer shop, the owners are actually simpler just closing for the rest of the year. They've made their money and it gives them chance to restock! I heard that some German businesses have resorted to bribing opposing teams to make sure that England stays in the competition, so that the WAGs continue to shop in Germany! As for "Activity, Travel & Adventure Clothing", you should look at ROHAN. I've worn their stuff for over 20 years & can't see past it!

They're "Right-Wing" Lions! Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.

Definitely !!! Until then, Vicky and her team mates are spending a lot of money for shopping.....

Does it matter? Won't she be flying home soon? Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.

Maybe it''d make more sense if you just had the "Drive-By-Briefing". Re-read it and highlight the following words: "DO" ... "WHAT" ... "EVER" ... "YOU" ... "WANT". That way it'll make as much sense to you as it does to Dubbie. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

ROFLMAO!!! A new entry straight in at #1 in the "Bushism chart"! I'm betting that in 500 years, archeologists are going to find conclusive evidence of LSD in your water supply during your 2000 & 2004 elections. It's the only remaining explanation! The fact that in some people, the effects of LSD dont wear off for years would explain the remaining pro-Bush arguments.

He'll fully and wholeheartedly support the law and abide by it... Once he's decided what the law is! At the moment, he's still trying to make the law that he'll support (and failing miserably). Of course, the whole "America & The Geneva Convention" has always been a joke. Look at 1945, when the American (and shamefully British) attitude was: "War's over. They're no longer prisoners of war. So we don't have to treat them as such"! I think that this was the origin of "They're NOT prisoners of war... They're 'disarmed enemy combatants' and The Geneva Convention doesn't say anything about 'disarmed enemy combatants' ". Oh yeah... I forgot hypocritical when I said evasive incompetent & stupid.

You beat me to it! The Supreme Court ruled by a majority. Therefore, Dubbie decides to go with a seperate opinion scribbled down by one of the minority!!? Sounds like he's only listening to what he wants to hear. My 3 year old & 6 year old does that as well... Unfortunately, this is a little more serious than: "You may not watch Scooby-Doo for 5 hours". Interesting that the "Drive-By Briefing" he received wasn't sufficient to answer press questions but WAS sufficient for him to make a decision! We're back to the same old question. Is he evasive and incompetent, or stupid as well? Mike. Edited to add: I'd also question Stephen Breyer's competence to remain in The Supreme Court. Since the thing was discussed and decided by the court as a whole, where the hell does he gat off issuing his own seperate scribble which contradicts the courts position!!? (And yes. I know he was a Clinton appointee. One can only assume that Slick-Willy was recovering from a particularly good BJ when he decided to appoint Breyer).

Hi GM, I wasn't thinking of speculative smallcap construction companies, more along the lines of: http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/P116569.asp Long term would be Uranium Mining. Cameco, Broken Hill Holdings, or simiilar. Mid term would be General Electric & similar. Short term would be power companies with a nuclear capability and experience. There's no "5000% growth" anywhere in there, but there's no risks of total loss either. Something that'll give a nice little rise over a year or two. Mike.

Since "Dubbie the God-Whisperer" has decided to address the environment & energy issue with a "Shiny-New-Poison", I'd look at buying into construction. A company with experience of building nuclear power stations and HASN'T had any bad publicity on build quality. Better yet, one with some of Dubbie's Dad's friends or family on the board of directors.

A variation on: "Sorry, but I'm gay. Have been for the last 15 seconds!" A serious question: How does having sex with a man PROVE a girl isn't lesbian? Having sex with a woman certainly hasn't ever proved a man isn't homosexual! Mike. PS: I was going to say "Sleeping with" instead of "having sex", but surely there isn't all that much *being-asleep* involved, is there?

Because... Even if you KNOW you'll never get the lady, or any of her friends... You can always dream you'll get the video! Or is that a little too much detail & honesty? Mike.

Are you mad? She'd shoot her eye out. What about a Supersoaker? Or do we have to worry about a drowning risk? Seriously, isn't the Sig P232 available in .380ACP? Or perhaps Heckler & Koch's P2000SK which comes in a choice of calibre? Just a thought from a know-nuttin' Brit. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

It was not allowed to function as a legitimate entity. Right after the election (a democratic thing that we're "spreading") and before Hamas officially took over the leadership position the United States said "we won't deal with them", as did Israel. Israel also cut off the $25 million or so that they collect every month for the Palestinian Authority. The Palestinians went for over two months without getting paid for their work. The US denied it but the plan was to make things difficult for the Palestinians to the point that they might call for a new election to replace the "ineffective" leadership. Pretty shitty if you ask me. We're spending billions of dollars to promote democracy (supposedly) but when the election doesn't go the way we intended then we ignore the results and try to remove the leadership. Prior to the election, Hamas had operated on a Local Government, practical level very effectively. This was the core reason for their election success. Right after the election,Hamas, as a responsible, legitimate NATIONAL government was expected to renounce violence as their primary negotiating tool. They did not do this and stated their policy was to continue their guerilla campaign against Israel (now with the resources and legitimacy of a nation state). Because of this, America, Israel, the entire EU (including the French!), Russia, and all the international aid agencies refused to deal with Hamas and stopped all aid and financial support! Even the Islamic countries refused aid beyond one-off charitable gifts in response to the Palestinian Foreign Minister making personal pleas. That is some consensus. I think it is the greatest consensus in the last 100+ years! Even me & GravityMaster agree!!! which MUST be a first! Hamas' response to their failure to act as a responsible government, one which would at least atempt diplomacy rather than violence as a first resort, and their CONSEQUENTIAL utter isolation was to use members of their paramilitary arm to supplant the police to increase their grip on political power! Thus the civil war erupting between the civil police and the "political-police". As such, Hamas have proven themselves incapable of government, and the raid on Israel was only the last straw! I would have liked Hamas to have succeeded as a government, but they failed entirely due to their own actions. Blaming the reactions of other countries and aid agencies to Hamas' stated policies is avoiding the root cause of the problem. Mike.

I dunno. Who was screaming that? Memories of an unspoilt landscape will be little comfort when shivering in candlelight! Mike. Not "who was" but "who is" Senator Teddy Kennedy is the one screaming...... In that particular case Senator Teddy Kennedy is a DICKHEAD of the first magnitude! (pause for a quick check that personal attacks are allowed against non-dizzy.com members. He's not a member, is he?) Good. To continue: I dare say that since DICKHEAD Kennedy has his snout firmly in the political trough, he's pretty sure that he can continue to enjoy such "unspoilt natural beauty" on the basis that he'll have some Senatorial priority right to any energy or fuel available. Even better, the DICKHEAD will be able to enjoy this beauty without the presence of all the plebian mugs who vote for him, while they still pay for his privelege.

I dunno. Who was screaming that? I've always been in favour of Wind-Farms. The NIMBYs shouting about them "spoiling the scenery" have always struck me as short-sighted. "Outstanding Natural Beauty" is a bit academic if you don't have the energy to go there or the energy to go away from there! I think that heat, light and transport are also beautiful in a vital sort of way, and for those you need energy. Memories of an unspoilt landscape will be little comfort when shivering in candlelight! Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Because he has finally learned how to pronounce 'nuclear' correctly and wanted to show off a bit?

A little background: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/5119708.stm And the latest: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/5123262.stm And the US Administration position: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/5119732.stm As I said, Hamas has found it impossible to act as a government given it's charter. The kidnapping of this soldier and the predictable Israeli reaction has prevented "Hamas-the-government" moving to accept Israel. In effect, the extremists win this one over the folk who want peace.

Speaking of the hilarious Dubbie: Donald Rumsfeld briefed the President this morning. He told Bush that 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed in Iraq. To everyone's amazement, all of the color ran from Bush's face, then he collapsed onto his desk, head in hands, visibly shaken, almost whimpering. Finally, he composed himself, turned to Rumsfeld and asked: "Just exactly how many is a brazillion?" Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

It doesn't. He is simply trying to protect the environment.... Yeah... That's why he jumps straight from "Global warming is bad" (Since when Dubbie?) To:: ...his push for the United States to develop significant new nuclear energy capabilities. "The truth of the matter is, if this country wants to get rid of its greenhouse gases, we've got to have the nuclear power industry be vibrant and viable." he said. That's NOT concern for the environment. That's promoting Nuclear Power. WHY is he suddenly looking for an excuse to promote Nuclear Power? Not renewables. Not wind, wave or solar. Nuclear. Mike.
