Illuminati-R-Us

Germany in red and England in white is just wrong, and I'm not a fan of self coloured strips. Good result though. I did laugh at Wagner scoring two goals, it seemed very Geman after the non-Teutonic sounding scorers Castro and Ozil. :D

On our recent trip one of the english language channels was Fox News. Ok for the first five minutes and then it just seemed to be shouty retards telling lies. They may or may not have had valid points but if they had they were just drowned out by noise. It was a very small sample I watched; is it al...

Ah, I wondered why analogue had to go, and now I know. I kept hold of my old analogue satellite dish for years after Sky went digital as German tv showed hockey, WLAF and NFL free. Ok, the commentary was in german, "Ein sack!" and the adverts got decidedly dodgy after 10pm but it was free ...

I heard he was visiting a childrens' ward and had a stroke . . .

Euro coins are country specific.

hippie we have two couches, take your pick.

I remember going to an automat in Glasgow, must have been about 1970, they were going to be the next big thing . . .

Pre-Euro the Irish Punt and Sterling were roughly comparable but sometimes varied by up to 10% one way or the other. In Northern Ireland Irish coins were commonly accepted and vice versa. It was not unknown for van loads of 50p pieces to be driven over the border to take advantage of the fluctuations.

I was checking exchange rates before a trip to the mainland and came across this. I hadn't realised the dollar was so bad.

Damn that was quick! I'll even accept the portugese spelling.

"This is information retrieval not information dispersal."

Wow, there is a lot of it about.

The UK voting. Labour took a kicking and a whole bunch of eurosceptics were elected. In Scotland it was 2 SNP, 2 Labour, 1 Tory and a LibDem.

Rats leaving a sinking ship. I was going to suggest Guantanamo Bay but BM65 beat me to it.

I think the expenses scandal is running out of steam, but the pasting Labour took in the elections means they are in real trouble.

Ah, Jimmy Bond in the original Casino Royale.

Damn, I should have known that.

The Warriors, you're up Lance.

Indeed they can.

There is a joke in here somewhere about Brazilians and landing strips but I can't get it to work.

Nope.

1979 film about gangs.

Not if I can add:

It's terrible, there are six Brazilian passengers dead.
That's not many.
Do you have any idea how many million there are in a brazilian?

This film is from the mid seventies and is being remade now.

Rangers won the Cup at the weekend so the Double for us. In the Giro, our lad Dennis Menchov (he may be a drugged up Russian, but he's our drugged up Russian) was steaming to a close fought victory after three weeks and a couple of thousand kilometers. On the slick streets of Rome he was romping hom...

They must think the octopi are 'armless . . .

It is a bit harsh to describe it as happening in "Brazilian airspace".

No but it can be rocket salad . . . I'll get me coat.

Cooling is easier without a microwave, stick to an oven or stovetop.

The first time I drove in the States it was odd to see chipmunks as roadkill since I had only ever seen them in cartoons. It didn't seem right soemhow.
