Bit off topic...struggling to link the comment into the Fosset story...

What's "off topic" ? I never liked them, even before they bacame Snickers. Chocolate is fine, and so are nuts, but not together. I'm sure m 'n' m's used to have a different name as well.

All I ever got were W & W's!!!

Don't tell me.......you opened the pack upside down ? That's silly, because they'd have fallen on the ground.

Here is a snippet more on Fossett ; http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/10/02/BAEU13A99B.DTL&tsp=1

The crash was probably cased by not clicking his fridge switch to 1 (BTW I'm too lazy to click on your link too.)

But it's patently obvious what's on my link ! Crawl inside your fridge and tell me if the light really does go out.

_{<muffled voice from inside fridge>}

_{Hey, just checked out your link...cheers...I didn't know they'd found the wreckage, bows respectfully to linkmeister (insofar as you can bow when curled up inside fridge)}

Del _{(now where's the door catch?)}

_{nobody else has noticed either.....they must be busy worrying about banks and elections....i'm going to crawl back into my bucket of custard and hide......the bioluminescent glow from old bacon keeps my fridge lit up !!}

Nah......just warmin' up with a mornin coffee......still early this longtitude. Suggest your moving prime meridian to the left to facilitate time thingy.

The trouble is, you guys in North America have such a big chunk of longitude. Can't you all huddle up in a North-South line to make it easier for the rest of us ?

Yanks tried that once an look at 'em now....red state, blue state.........few shades inbetween but still no pinko ........

Over here it's getting hard to tell the difference between each side ! Years of custard-pie politics have left us in a blue and red gloop, and if Buddy hadn't come up with the 7,000,000,000,000 dimes he'd have joined us in the ****. Wonder where they're coming from .

I don't know... It's yest to be seen whether he bailed out a bunch of investment bankers or the economy of the US. If it turns out to be the former, I personally will give to the fund to put a hit out on his phony-Bologna ass!

Oh yeah, I'm sure the motive is to help the average citizen......couldn't possibly be anything to do with the rich staying/getting richer.....nooooo.......merchant bankers makes for better rhyming slang. Just as interesting is who voted which way and when, it looked like a lote of them were playing sly (waiting until it was a done deal before voting). It's lucky that the plans effectivness wont be seen until after the election - if it goes crap shape you should have elected the Republicans, and if it works you should have elected the Democrats.

Why aren't they in jail? Because .............

........jails are for poor people. Such has it always been, and always will.

Suggest lining shoreline of your island with people and slave galley type oars to facilitate rowing the UK into middle of Atlantic. You can use Dels busted car door as rudder. Should slice off a few hours off've the time zone.

We could try sailing the Isle of White, people have been gagging to do that 'if everyone got on the IoW...' thing for ages. Can you persuade your neighbours to send us some sunny Florida in exchange - we need it !

No can do. Franchise on Florida sun mortaged. Hurricanes free for the taking tho. B'sides, I thought you lot liked fog.

Thot it was Isle of Wight. Had they any mega rock concerts there since last time?

You are right... Kris is illigerant and don't kno nuffink about how too speek proper.

Who, IOW Lambretta...ahhhh nostalgia.

I thot 'e wuz bein' funhuggaluvably ligerant an' yoor clottin' up a perfekly interelligant versation

Yah...saw Led Zep, Clapton and Winwood last UK visit....early 70's.....brings a tear to the eye

It's pea soup that we really miss......Del is gonna have to paddle on top of a car door/air-bag construction, we squirrels wake up far too early for cats.......
