exigent twaddle; you handled it well enough, regardless.

One must, consider the source at times. *grin*

A quick little query for ya (lazy Euro-American lingo):

Upon Joe Strummer's death, did you happen to notice a convergence of Op-ed thoughts, superfluous of politics, feeling an emotion or two, for his death?

Did you happen to see either: Steyn's (Telegraph/UK) or Sailer's (UPI) article, on Joe's death?

Just wondering...

With my enormous speed typing skills.... I must present:

www.marksteyn.com... then scroll to -Steyn on Culture (he busts me up; but, then again, I rather enjoy Taki's innate ability to insult everyone, including himself & Swiss police-women. So...).

In retrospect, I enjoyed Sailer's "Strummer" query, on his  site better, than his UPI piece. So,..isteve.com is the place (right-side - with the daily blogs).

              ****WARNING****

I don't know if you're a "Guardian lad?" So, no offense intended in the slighest; however, "Amazing Gypsy facts," had my rolling on the hardwood flo...

Be honest, and tell me what you think?

Best Regards,

Heh, heh really, a fat spiteful American woman, heh, heh. Yes, I know they are somewhat suspicious. Maybe they need to be so in America :-.

About language. Sometimes spoken English can be very difficult to understand. Especially people from the middle of England.

Cockney English, wasn't that Elisa used in My Fair Lady ( The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plains"?

Believe it or not, I've been in a lot of European countries, but never in English, though I'm having some English friends. I've heard Englishmen, inspite of their stiff upper-lip :-), is very hospitable?

That's the one.

The accents here are very diverse, I have problems myself with uderstanding Irish, Geordie, Scots etc. Something I don't find when I encounter Americans, Australians, South Africans etc. Take a drive 100 miles in any direction here and you'll hear something different.

Stiff upper lip? It's no wonder you have problems understanding spoken English.

We should get together if I ever bag a Russian/Ukranian chick.  The only bad thing is I would hate to lose my dogs loyalty to a wife but it must be the voice.  Women talk so softly to animals and they like it. When I had a cat it would attack me but never my wife.

We can get together even if you don't Bubba. Let me know if you are ever in the DFW area. (Despite what you might have inferred, it really shouldn't be frightening to meet Victoria... really!)

BTW... I don't think it was the voice as much as the food.

Although my dog is back in the doghouse. He has chewed up one too many slippers for awhile...
