Don't get snippy now. Ken is not the only one who has difficutly facing up to a posted error. If you're going to spend all your time forcing him to acknowledge it, we won't have time for the important stuff. :D

Considering the last Democrat to be elected from Colorado was Gary Hart, quelle suprise.

I believe the Newfoundlanders in your part of the world have a treat called "Screech". The way it was explained to me is, you take the remnants of a keg of rum, add boiling water, throw in a few cast off fishing nets for taste, let it sit for a while and then drink it. Potent to the point of...

You have a good point RS. We also have not touched on alternate fuels for cars. It has been proven that cars can run on alcohol which is the preferred car fuel in some parts of the world, natural gas and hydrogen. All minimal polluters. The main problem with them is that the auto manufacturers...

Not necessarily at the hospital then. Perhaps you could fill up at the Ambulance station or a council facility. The point being at some source you would be entitled to a certain number of free liters per month based on your average mileage doing the volunteer work that would not count towards...

Here's a wild idea. Everyone who owns a car is rationed to X number of liters per month. Regardless of your job, regardless of your type of car. We'll pull a number out of the air...100 litres per month. On the first 100 litres, you pay minimal tax. On the next 50 litres per month you are...

Do you have any evidence to back up this accusation?

Unlike you, I have no control over the media. Yet another advantage you have over me. Yet another example of the advantages of living in Col's World. BTW, I'm not an American.

The IL senator clinched the Democratic nomination this evening (May 3). Am I the only one who was getting a little bored with it?

The jumpers question was clarified earlier. The Mustang was always fitted with a Merlin engine. It was a hybred of an American airframe with a British engine and was used with equal distinction and effect by both the RAF and USAAF.

As stated earlier, Bob Hope considered himself to be an American. What we consider him to be matters little as he current resides in a cemetery. An American cemetery. :D

I think you mean Col's world. Just for the record it bears few similarities to the planet the rest of us reside on. :D

What if you dive one of the latest generation of hybrid cars? Next to nil pollution, 100 miles per gallon etc. Could you not petition for an exemption as well? After all, isn't this what the government wants you to drive?

It's available in a number of different flavours. Some are almost drinkable. Most taste like bin feed. Next time I see some in the corner store, I think I'll do a label check. Calories, carbs etc. between Coke and Gatorade.

What about black South Africans? Are any of them racists?

What about Tony B et al? It has been my experience that "nutters" in the UK are generally referred to by more pleasant names, like eccentric.

Gatorade is an electrolite and salt replacement drink. You're supposed to drink it after a serious round of exercise with excessive perspiring. I can't think of any reason why you would drink it unless you have to although it is making it's way into the vending machines here as well. It's...

Don't forget, English is one of India's official languages. Most Indians speak it some degree. Most Indians in international trade speak it well. The same for Japanese in the same position. I believe the folks in Brazil speak Portuguese.

My sister-in-law is one of these women. When she had her first child, she insisted she was going to "have it all" Motherhood, career and maybe run for the local council as well. She soon discovered the falicy of this "Womens Lib" fiction...there are only 24 hours in a day and you need to sleep...

I overheard a conversation at my local last night. A husband and wife (or boyfriend/girlfriend) were having a spirited discussion. Finally the woman says "You lied, its against the law to lie". I had to smile to myself. Could you imagine a politician passing a law making it illegal to lie...
