I think you are ok.

452 is one of the phone codes for the south of Edinburgh.

Mr Tan has established a clear lead in the polls. An almost Zimbabwean lead.

Is it not to do with the 140 character limit?

I haven't flown to Courchevel but I have seen planes land there, it is small but so are the planes and it doesn't look that bad. Barra is perfectly safe, hard packed sand and small planes. I don't think there has ever been an accident there, it doesn't belong in this category. Worst I have done was ...

That would be "English Riots".

Nothing up here, our police are a bit less laissez faire about these things.

Kids grow up so fast . . .

And they would be equally sympathetic yesterday.

There is always FFC Turbine Potsdam, my new favourite team name.

Weekend off for me and the shirt, just a friendly against Chelsea.

hippie, our favourite hunter gatherer. :D

I read some of the comments on the BBC site and a large majority of the commenters had little idea what they were talking about, but then the journalists have no idea what will happen either. I'd wager that during the period of the USA's greatest expansion its rating would have been much worse than ...

As part of keeping a practicing certificate I have to do a number of hours of Continuing Professional Development which involves seminars, lectures, etc. Yesterday's involved some gimlet warbling on about efficiency and eliminating mistakes and he brought up the usual example of Indian tiffinwalla a...

I hear ya Enzo, I was in my forties before I could leave food, or not have what was left as seconds.

I have several Packers shirts, mostly quite elderly. But I can't start wearing a new one while they are the champions can I?

I need a new lucky shirt.

I didn't realsie it was an early kick off so was on the train.

Fuck, fuck, fuckity fuck . .

GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! Get it up ye!

Still tense but there is hope.

The season has hardly started and tonight is a must win away game in Malmö, they lead one nil from the first leg so we need a win. Anything else and we are out of Europe. In a show of faith and to appease the Gods I have just bought a Rangers polo shirt which I will wear while listening to the game ...

Are these the C16th city walls that Ivan the Terrible put up? I don't know the name of them tough.

If she had brought the child back to the UK she would have had the Social Work Department at her door in pretty short order.

sopunds like a deal has been done, probably.

On looking at the map properly for the first time I assume Corsica was missed out by mistake.

No way would that have happened, not until she had cleaned herself up for a number of years.

You are giving away your age HD, I was at primary school when Biafra jokes were in vogue.

Would be fine with me. If the debt were downgraded to AA and the credit spreads reflected that, I think I might like to trade on that spread . . . I don't even know what that means. Whatever S&P say the US is AAA, so if they are rated AA then you can make money by backing them as AAA at AA rate...

And the other figures would put them both behind us and two spots closer to the top 100. :D

Is state debt backed by the Federal government in any way? Who do states borrow from, I take it they simply borrow from the money market like national governments?
