    It may well have been a question like this that the term 'no-brainer' was coined for.

        mate of mine worked in thailand for a bit

        caught tapeworm, and went to local hospital and instead of giving him a 20p tablet to flush it out of his system they ripped his arse off and then sewed it back on again.

        he was in hospital for 5 months before he could leave. he is back home now and several operations later he is OK, but with a new colostomy bag

        so the moral of the story - watch your arse!
        Politicians are wonderfull people, as long as they stay away from things they don't understand, like working for a living!

          You won't be alerting anyone to anything with a mouthful of mixed seeds.

                in what way warped?
                I spent 8 months in Holland and it never affected me
