Well damn!<BR/><BR/>I'm disappointed.<BR/><BR/>Talking of clocks, we nearly had a Major Domestic Incident here this afternoon when it was discovered that the radio-controlled clock in the kitchen had flat batteries and had stopped at twenty past midday. OH cannot bear not knowing what the time is to the last (accurate) second, but luckily I found a battery and saved the day.<BR/><BR/>So, I'll be watching the game on Sunday - I think it starts at 4pm, but if it's 3pm that's OK by me. Whatever the clock says. LOL!<BR/><BR/>Trouble is I can't decide who to root for ... probably NO, I guess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27523184.post-71333372343295187872008-10-25T21:25:00.000+01:002008-10-25T21:25:00.000+01:00I despise Michael Moore - would live to see him li...I despise Michael Moore - would live to see him living/working in some other coutry. (Please understand that it is very hot and sticky here in Florida today when reading this) <BR/>Can't wait for the result of this election! We here in the confused USofA have let so many 'foreigners' in that we won't have control over the result of this one! Y'all talk of entitlments - say that sounds just like Barak Obama !!! We are gonna' wind up with "entitlments" - - now watch the F$%#ing immigration - legal and illegal.<BR/>I am a veteran and am extremely proud to be a citizen of my country it is true - -but I am also tired of the US having to 'rescue' everybody - - in the future I believe we should wait and see what France gives and then match it! Of course, there's you lot on that island - for some reason you usually side with us -- must be daft.CLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05533700664488512558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27523184.post-36605779488993180342008-10-25T13:36:00.000+01:002008-10-25T13:36:00.000+01:00You know how in the UK we're quite prone to saying...You know how in the UK we're quite prone to saying "only in America...!" usually in a mildly condescending way?<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7688815.stm" REL="nofollow">Read this </A>and just that thought sprung to mind!<BR/><BR/>Let it never be said they're not entreupenurial on that side of the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27523184.post-2003788659888481842008-10-24T20:41:00.000+01:002008-10-24T20:41:00.000+01:00Good post.

We lived in Boca Raton for six years (it's in Palm Beach County) and got to used to <I>walking catfish</I> (yes, you read that correctly) migrating between ponds, even crossing roads, during heavy downpours. Seems they were introduced from Asia.<BR/><BR/>You made me laugh out loud when, in talking about the turtles, you actually said "go with the flow!"

I was surprised to find out how little holiday entitlement they have in America - perhaps many Americans just don't know how much they get in European countries.Daphnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14469075813149239051noreply@blogger.com
