What kind of a joint is this? I like scotch. Single malts. Preferably old. Preferably expensive. 15 year old Laphroiag cask strength will do nicely. Served neat with a little spring water. - Skeptic - "... and there is no intelligent life in Washington D.C. either." ID: 335122 ·

RDC, maybe your ex-wife is in love. People often mellow out when they are in love, even the fiercest ones. If this is the case, be sure to talk nice about her to her new boy-friend, so he'll marry her. Then you'll have her off your back. :-D I hope so. I build her up to be a princess if that's the case. LOL That would be a mistake. If you build her up too much, you will be asked why you're not still together. Don't put her on a pedestal.... (-:< CAPT Siran d'Vel'nahr - L L & P _\\// Winders 11 OS?

Some of the emails are hilarious but this is one from a chap in Switzerland... Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV. And the most British thing of all? Suspicion of anything foreign. Oh and!!!!! Only in Britain can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance. Only in Britain do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to the back of the shop to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front. Only in Britain do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a DIET coke. Only in Britain do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counters. Only in Britain do we leave cars worth thousands of pounds on the drive and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage. Only in Britain do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place. Only in Britain are there disabled parking places in front of a skating rink. NOT TO MENTION... 3 Brits die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue. 142 Brits were injured in 1999 by not removing all pins from new shirts. 58 Brits are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers. 31 Brits have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in. 19 Brits have died in the last 3 years believing that Christmas decorations were chocolate. British Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after cracker pulling accidents. 101 people since 1999 have had broken parts of plastic toys pulled out of the soles of their feet. 18 Brits had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarette in their mouth. A massive 543 Brits were admitted to A&E in the last two years after opening bottles of beer with their teeth. 5 Brits were injured last year in accidents involving out of control Scalextric cars. and finally.........! In 2000 eight Brits cracked their skull whilst throwing up into the toilet. I am proud to be British RULE BRITANNIA! ID: 335998 ·

I lost three hours of my UOTD reign to the weekly DB maintenance. It's really not fair. I think my UOTD tenure should be extended for another 24 hours as compensation for my pain and suffering during those three hours. Who do I talk to about this? Did everyone notice how much happier the board seemed while I was UOTD? I am sure the workunit productivity was up too. Feel free to start a petition to get me reinstated. ID: 336218 ·
