    I remember driving overnight somewhere and something happened in Iraq, when Bush was in. He was to make a wee speech and the radio station went over 'live' to broadcast it.

    Now I can't remember the context but Bush definately referred to the the 'Iraqis' as 'the Iraqi-asian people', I totally pissed myself. All subsequent broadcasts edited that bit out. (Bush's wordplay, not me pissing myself...)

    And 'to burglarize' - what's all that about?

    Even more annoying than "scarifying" is "incentivising". FFS it's "encouraging".

    Yes, when getting rid of moss.
