I heard on Skynews today that an approach will be made to Syria, and Iran, to help in damping down the war in Iraq. Where did this come from? Was it the US or the UK? The mind boggles when I think of those two countries being called upon for "help". What help and how? Is there a note of defeat in the air or are some people trying to bring Iran and Syria into the "fold
Good article Doc. Yes, Kim Jung IL is acting like a 6 year old and I suspect he thought he would get more backing from "Mother China". Mother China, however, is rapidly becoming a Super Power and I suspect that they are finding the little "brat" tiresome. However, as has been reported, China is worried about a collapse of the North Korean regime because the threat of thousands of refugees pouring into China is unwelcome. Like Ceaucescu's Ruman
As they grow and become self-thinking near adults, so they need you more and more. My adult children depend on us-- we've found that we are still very important to them. It's a great feeling. You can be proud of your little girl!
Mason, I don't use those things like Zovirax etc. They just seem to soften it up. I dab on surgical spirits couple of times a day to dry the bastard out. I wince like a dog with a thorn in its foot but it seems to work.
I admire a hobby like yours. I collect coins, banknotes and Dinky toys and I'm always pleased when I can pick up a bargain!
Sorry--will take a peep.
Pros: Football team, shoes and luggage, Parma ham, Alfa Romeo and Vespas. Cons: Berlusconi, football mafia, pasta (yuck!)
Here is my take on North Korea: Forgive the licence I have taken with an old Chinese proverb. "Do not back dog into corner. He will turn and snarl. He will show his teeth. If dog is hungry he may bite. If dog wants to bite, shoot dog." Kim Jong il is actually like a frightened dog in a corner. His repressed people are starving and, unfortunately will
Not your usual standard of typing Bahu!
Ayman Al Zawahiri, born in Egypt, is banned in just about every Middle Eastern country. Pity the poor old fool: he is probably sitting in some cave with an ancient camcorder and 3 supporters. Al quaeda has little direct support anymore so he is now just trying to rev us all up and rev up the hundreds of Jihadist groups he HEARS about. If you read his early history in Egypt you'll realise he is just a crazed crank with very little power anymore
As a matter of interest, when we lived in various African countries we were told never to buy lettuce on the street (or any other leaf crop). That is because the crops are often irrigated using night soil (sewage) or polluted river water. E-coli was only one of many dangerous bacteria found in those leaf crops. Many uninformed buyers of these crops went down with hepatitis, typhoid, cholera (causing deaths or long stays in hospital) or, if you
Nice article. I liked your list.
Nice article. I liked your list.
I really enjoyed Trudygolightly's best smells. The thought of fresh bread being baked in a bakery still has my neurons in a spin. The best. What about sounds? I compiled a list of the worst and best sounds. First, 5 most irritating sounds. * Car burglar alarm. Can't stand that noise. * Sound of an animal tied up or in pain. Gets to me emotionally.
Sure Doc, but the point was: Where there's smoke there's fire.
Funny enough, I didn't laugh.
Because I live in the Middle East I don't want to comment on this veil controversy too much. Perhaps it is suffice to say that, as young Egyptian and Lebanese women discard the veil in larger numbers each year (Egypt and Lebanon are the most liberal of the Middle East countries), the more we see Muslim women in other lands such as those in Europe, sticking to the tradition. The young, trendy Egyptian and Lebanese twenty-something is wearing jeans,
The World is growing restless as the events in Sudan grow worse by the day. Darfur is a region in Africa's largest country and it is controlled mainly, some say, by the JanJaweed. The Sudanese government pretends to control the Janjaweed but many say they are in collusion--and that they are determined to rid Sudan of mainly black Sudanese. It appears to be a racial co
I had a paedophile on my staff once. He seemed like a nice guy, went to church--even preached in church. Great record this guy had--but I found out later that his record had been hushed up. This happens often with paedophiles. Their records are "put away" or "filed" in File 13. So, this guy who came to me was highly recommended, good with kids and a great fat
Yes Doc, but it is the truth if you can see no further than your nose.
Nope. Sorry Doc. I got my R's and D's mixed up. As I said before, I am not savvy about modern American politics.
He probably did. But, putting it in context, there are lies and bigger lies. Colin Powell and, by mandate, George Bush, sat in the United Nations assembly, pulled out a vial and stated that Saddam had WMD. Those are pretty big lies--and they cost lives!
Senator John McCain spoke at the annual Conservative Party congress in Bournemouth last night. His speech (very conservative--as to be expected from a Democrat), was well received. I can't comment on his politics but I did (as an orator of long-standing),do a critique on the speech, noting some important highs and lows. Note that these are my personal observations:<BR
Sounds like nothing is confidential nowadays.
Kudos to Jennifer 1 who, though she has her troubles, has led an exciting life. You will never regret, or forget, those memories.
