The Key to this matter

Actually, Chaves is the Portuguese word for keys.....This might help unlock this matter.......

...Hat & Coat......

Git yere priorities right!

Rabbie Burns must be turning in yon grave!

Cats!

Nae mention of the Scottish government drafting a Haggis Welfare Code!

The poor wee thingies need protection from rampant Haggis hunters from over the pond!

I dinnae ken either what Dr. Finlay, Janet, The Broons or Oor Wullie would make of this!

End of Flights to the US

If you follow the financial markets at present many countries including China are shifting their financial assets out of dollars, hence the weakening currency. The number of tourists visiting the US has dropped, and more and more people I know, now say they will avoid travelling to or transiting the US as it is to much of a hassle. The US economy is going from bad to worse.

The time really has come to move agencies like the UN out of the US to somewhere like Geneva, and stop all flights to the US. Let people fly to Canada and then, if they want to, cross the frontier by road or train. (Although I suspect there will be a "no-train" policy implemented there soon as well.) This would also put an end to biased bilateral flight arrangements between the UK, Europe and the US which always end up in the favour of the US and ease congestion at Heathrow. (It might also put BA out of business but what the heck, Ryanair will take its place!)

As regards internal US flights, the ending of all flights with alien foreigners (funny never considered myself to be form another planet!) to the US, should release enough capacity at US airports to ease their internal air traffic control system and allow for vetting of each individual flying. If passengers need to go to Hawai, use a Hawaii Five O longboat from California, and Alaska, husky sled.

On an IT angle it would give a boost to Lenovo and the Chinese IT industry's future efforts to dominate the world.

Finally, it would also reduce international sightings of PH. ;)

Love the Lost in Translation Page

Tried the following phrase in that site:

Dick Cheney's shotgun

Result:

Injector of the frequent hunting of Cheney

Translated that phrase which gave:

The injector of the attempts considers of Cheney

which gave:

The injector of the cares of proven you of Cheney

which gave:

The injector of the Obacht of explosion one of you of Cheney

which gave:

The injector of Obacht of bud one of you of Cheney

Not posting from Bilbao are you?

Remember seeing a lot of strange people there wearing berets and strange nationalistic type dress....perhaps the fishnet stockings and suspenders are worn underneath?

Land of the Free and In God we trust!

As I have observed for the past twenty years, since visiting the U.S. for the first time, that nation is populated in large part by hypocrites (many of whom are so-called Christians) and who make a complete mockery of the Constitution, their Founding Fathers intent, and the phrases:

"Land of the Free"

"In God we trust!"

"Give me your huddled masses"

Jesus would be locked up today in the USA.

This incident is just another example of countless like it over the years.

May its citizens be forgiven for the injustices it perpetrates in the name of the "Management Upstairs"

Vultures? (2)

They get picked on?????

More like they do the picking!!!!! :)))

As regards the staff at 2wit 2woo, me suspects someone is going to have a strip torn off them!.....
