Tell me to shut up Ok, Ken, you may be but we are not, are we, no. Tailgater, Cussler, may have, bad memory for names, watch too much docu tv and read too much crap, tell you this though, ask yourselves this, since when has your senator (or whatever you call your gov rep) or global company ever been slightly interested in the welfair of this planet? is it because theres money to be had scaring people with the "global warming" theory (and remember this, it is JUST a theory) got to look at the bigger picture not just whats happened to the weather in the last 100 yrs! not so long ago England was under nearly 2 miles of ice and man had nowt to do with that little episode. When someone starts shouting loudly about something I start asking whats in it for you and your backers? Just started back on the truck after the recent events (just to keep this post truck related) ________ LSV
Brit, I head on the news yesterday that there were signs of warming on Mars. You reckon those SUVs that Al Gore blames with global warming are having an affect on Mars? I don't think so. I agree with you 100%. This old world has a mnd of its own. Cussler has a book called Polar Shift that I just finished reading. It deals with exactly what you are saying. TG
magnetic shifts could get into long discutions on this subject and would love to but dont want to bore people, shifting and the drastic effect it has on the planet can be proved, global warming cant ________ Granny Videos
See guy's even the Brit wants the Eagles to win on Saturday. Way to go Brit !!! By the way not sure if you know but it's we are speaking of Football America style not that cricket style or what ever you guy's do over there.
Do you mean the game where you have to put bullet proof padding all over you in case you get a scratch? or the real mans game of rugby where the only safety gear you can wear (and its optional) is a strap round your head to stop your ears getting ripped off!!! ________ Herb Scales
Translation If you recall they had tornadoes in London a few month's ago. I think that's the British way of saying, "Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore!"
Oh. I guess I am just confused. Football, soccer, and some little insect that makes funny noises at night. I still don't know what that has to do with anything.
That's what happens when you let colonies play! Was it India that beat England in cricket (thus the ashes) and was it Austrailia (Oz) that got it back for you? Inquiring minds want to know!
Well, now that you've asked, this is a bizzare tale... The Ashes is an England and Australia (Oz) Test cricket series, best of 5 matches. Back in 1882 after Oz beat England in England for the first time, there was an obituary in The Sporting Times along the lines of cricket had died, and the body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Oz. So in the 1883 tour of Oz a group of women in Melbourne gave a small urn with ashes in it to the England captain. No one now knows exactly what ashes are in the urn, could be a cricket ball, could be a possum. But anyway, the urn now sits in a museum in London and is nominally held by whoever wins the series. The Oz won the last series 5 -0. England now have to wait until 2009 before they get the chance to win them back. Simple.
The ashes in the urn are the remains of the bails (the two short sticks that ballance on the three sticks that are the stumps) or so the legend is told, the urn is so fragile now its hardly ever moved as it was originaly meant as a joke not a long lasting trophy. ________ UPSKIRT CAR
