Mainly? It seems to me you consider air con the sole means of dealing with heat. In fact it appears a major cause of yours to educate Europeans on how it should be everywhere. -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- --

You make plenty of mistakes, and your version of "looking things up" often amounts to having a recollection of reading something once upon a time. However, you spend so much time surgically editing the messages you are replying to in order to create the impression that people are saying different things from what they actually were, that you are frequently able to declare victory to your own satisfaction. To onlookers it appears ridiculous, but I think there's a certain lack of self-awareness at work here. miguel -- Photos from 40 countries on 5 continents: http://travel.u.nu Latest photos: Malaysia; Thailand; Singapore; Spain; Morocco Airports of the world: http://airport.u.nu |
