"And starting at around $210,000 USD... Still pretty expensive, but at least do-able." Yeah... We're talking a 99% price reduction from $20Mil. Hmmm... I wonder how Iona would take to ME coming home and saying Hi Honey, guess how much I've just saved us!?" Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

If you ever need a true insight into human nature... Ask a Fat, Drug-Crazed Faschist Transvestite! "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." -- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials http://www.snopes.com/quotes/goering.htm Edited to add: Part of the conversation between Gustave Gilbert (American) and Goering in his (Goering's) prison cell on 18th April 1946: We got around to the subject of war again and I said that, contrary to his attitude, I did not think that the common people are very thankful for leaders who bring them war and destruction. "Why, of course, the people don't want war," Goering shrugged. "Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship." "There is one difference," I pointed out. "In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars." "Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country." Does this not seem almost prophetic? Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Hi Christel, I'm sure he'll see it. Meanwhile, where's the 2 jokes you promised me ages ago? Now to get this thread back on track... Hate is a small step from fear, and nations fearother nations who they don't understand and percieve as superior in some way. Thus France fears and hates Germany. Germany hates and fears Russia. Russia hates and fears China. North and South Korea hate and fear each other. We British occupy a rather unique position at the top of this particular chain because we'd rather take the pi$$. America also occupies a unique position because of their national intelligence level, and because of the fact that less than 12% of Americans have actually been to another country, and 90% of them only travelled abroad as soldiers. Thus Americans don't understand the rest of the world! Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Thank goodness we're still talking about THOSE sorts of records

Nice! Very nice, indeed Hi Kaaskopp! While it would be nice to do as you ask, we're presently about 999 Avro Lancasters short! Also, don't you think firebombing Dresden is a bit excessive for ONE speeding ticket? I appreciate that the architecture can seem a bit strnage to a Dutchman, especially all those houses built on hills (the sticky up bits of the ground). In fact, why didn't you just use the standard Dutch excuse to get off the ticket: "I'm sorry officer, you see, I'm Dutch and I've never went downhill in my car before!" How about a compromise. I talked to a pal in the RAF, and (with all the defence cuts) he says they could maybe spring to a paper glider with a lit match taped to the nose for you. Mike.

"If you guys want to see some "real" football with no fancy protection..." Then tune into ANY Rugby Football Match. If you want artistic play, then watch Rugby Union. If you want to see the only English Blood Sport that hasn't been banned yet then watch Rugby League. It's fairly easy to follow, fun sport where "protection" is limited to a groin box and a headband to stop the blood getting in your eyes! Mike.

Of course CornishChris only mentions the 9 Yoghurts he bought. He was distinctly vague about the other items in his basket!!!! Perhaps the sho assistant's "Look at all the Yoghurts" while showing her colleague the basket and contents was code for "This guy has 8 giant economy packs of condoms in his basket! Count them. Eight!!!!!!!! AND HE LOOKS HETEROSEXUAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (After all, this IS Sydney - land of the cheap and the home of the poof!). SO yeah... Concurring with other posters, CHRIS, YOU'RE A TWIT!! She wasn't just wanting to look into your shopping basket!!... Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

"NEXT TIME COULD YOU PLEASE SAY NSFW!!!!" Let's see. Russ Meyer. Director of films featuring Massive Bare boobed Women. Silicone Explosion Warnings. Pictures. You wouldn't be Kalifornian would you? Do you also require a safety warning on packs of Toothpicks : Dangerous if swallowed! ? Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

A sad day. He will be missed. But... Beware of the funeral. Adult film-maker Russ Meyer, one of the pioneers of the porn movie industry, has died in Los Angeles aged 82. Famed for his trademark movies featuring violence and busty women, Meyer made over 20 movies and influenced the likes of Quentin Tarantino, John Walters and Walt Disney. He is due to be cremated in Los Angeles on Friday but police have issued a safety warning for those planning to attend. It is feared that the number of models and actresses in the crematorium will present a health hazard and that there is a real danger of over-inflated breasts exploding. A spokesman for Orange County Police said, “This may sound a laughing matter but it certainly is not. A silicone explosion on this scale could devastate a small but densely populated area. We urge people to evacuate the surrounding streets for their own safety.” It is understood that police chiefs are trying to obtain a court order to ban any woman with breasts larger than a dinner plate from attending the service. However a friend of Meyer said it was the last thing he would want. “Russ liked them big. If they explode so what? They can just make new ones.” Still. A fond farewell to the man who first coined the phrase "Silicone Valley" Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

"Photo caption contest! Mystery prize to the winner!" Mystery prize!!!! I claim the right to call you "Bicky Becky Boo-Boo" without fear of retaliation! Oh yeah... Caption: ...As Band-Aid makes a singularly ill-conceived attempt to penetrate the transvestite haute-couture market...! Or... Federal Health Warning: Smoking causes Lung disease and complete loss of taste Or... "Allo, desperate Sailor! Or... (and let's all sing along here...)

Likewise! They have stated that their services are open to everyone. I'm guessing that you'll be "expected" to buy into a set amount of commodities every month which will be traded until you've paid the loan and the "administration fees". Either way, I'm gonna bet that the rate will be fair, and the bank's trading practices will be ethical.... So yeah, I'll bank with them. Mike.

Which brings us nicely to other "Thousand Year" proclamations. When Hitler proclaimed that his "Third Reich" would last for a thousand years his claim was a hell of a lot more credible.... He was out by 988 years. And just as not all Germans were Nazis, not all Muslims are terrorists. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Hi Shelly, First off, block him from sending e-mails to you. On Outlook Express just highlight his message in your InBox, click Message in the top menus, and then click "Block Sender". Now to phone calls. For work, ask your switchboard to identify all callers to you and not put his calls through. At home, Invest in an answering machine. Get a male friend or work colleague to record the outgoing message. Something like: "The people who live here can't come to the phone just now. If you know these rabbits, you'll know why! Leave a message." Or: "You've reached the Lunatic Asylum, Chief Lunatic Speaking. I can't take your message because the beeps are coming to get me. Leave your message with one of them!" The grreat thing about answering machines is that you can leave them on even when you're at home . Your friends soon get used to you picking up as they start to leave a message. He'll hopefully get sick of phoning your machine all the time. Good luck, Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Yeah, skydivers are sexy. On the other hand, climbing and skiing can be fun too. 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.

The reasons for all the "skin" posts is that skydivers are just so damn sexy!! Way sexier than, say, paragliders or shot-putters, as the attached (NWS) pics show!!! (There is even more compelling evidence of this - far too compelling to show here!!!) Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

OK, So according to LandRover US we're all "Git Ded Adventurous". Strangely, LR US don't sell the REALLY adventurous vehicle in their US range. Check out the attached and spot the difference, which is http://www.landrover.com/gb/en/Products/Defender/default.htm So...

"Maybe you should brush up on Maggie Thatcher's famous message to Bush(41) sometime." Was this the infamous "George... This is NO time to go wobbly!" one which was accompanied by a threatening wave of her handbag? The one where Bush Snr. moved a big lump of the US Army etc... to Saudi 'cos he was scared Maggie was going to hit him with her purse? But that's our Maggie all over. A Mad Fascist bat she may have been, but she was a good Bat to have in a crisis!

When our daughter Lauren was in pre-school, we were pulled aside by the staff and asked to explain something... Earlier in the week, the staff brought out a round piece of nylon for the kids to play with. The problem was that they called it a parachute. Lauren's indignant and apparently very opinionated response: That's no' a parachute! Parachutes are square, and that's no' got strings!" We were asked why Lauren would say such a strange thing and we got to complete their re-education. Funnily enough, Timothy's now been at the same pre-school for over a year, and they've never got the "parachute" out. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.
