I do see a fair number of Hummers around town...one in particular which shows up near my job location likes to park in the spots marked "compact." Anyone who thinks they need a Hummer on city streets has more money than sense.

Unless like me, you rarely turn on the mobile unless you need to use it or are expecting a call. I pretty much have mine for an emergency, such as if the car breaks down, etc.

Ah, I see, you have quoted text without quote thingies. Trying to trick me, hah. You were lucky I didint do a long explanation of the history of Europe and the European colonies and how native americans, if left alone would have become small nation states, so its one of the loons who thinks Europe "Balkanised", one of the ones I dont read anymore I expect, Tchowa reverse engineered history, possibly? -- Mike Reid I will agree bendybuses are a good idea when they build bungalows on Mayfair Walk-eat-photos UK "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" <-- you can email us@ this site Walk-eat-photos Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk"

Following up to JohnT >But, again unlike Mixi, precise time is >not a hypercritical requirement in my current lifestyle. Usually it would >suffice if it were accurate to the nearest hour. expensive watches seem to have some sort of reversed logic. We have to have the FT for info, the Sunday supplement "how to waste it" is always full of watches, many of which have complex faces from which its hard to see what the time is! I've yet to discover any utility in the additional dials. -- Mike Reid I will agree bendybuses are a good idea when they build bungalows on Mayfair Walk-eat-photos UK "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" <-- you can email us@ this site Walk-eat-photos Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" |
