By the lack of US weapons... Hey, how do you sink a Pakistani battleship? Put it in water. And over in India a monk drives over a dog and turns to the owner saying "I'm terribly sorry, but my karma ran over your dogma."

I can offer nothing to the argument about how to help. As you say you understand the problems only a little and you live there! It is a sad state of affairs, but maybe a benevolent dictatorship would improve the lot of the average man?

Who amongst us is truly benevolent? I wouldn't even want Nelson Mandela the benevolent dictator.

My First Act as Viceroy of India would be to teach them to type "Please Help Urgently" Failure to spell correctly would result in debroadbandization (a horrible Dubyaism).

Incidentally, did you know that Ethiopia is the only African country never to have been colonised?
Might exlain why it is only 2001[^] there. That must be head wrecking to programme for.

Round about the same time someone faked his birth cetificate. From what I've seen the only people who'll swear to remembering Barrack being born where in Kenya where he has a valid birth certificate. ;)

And they got two beers and a bolt of cloth as soon as they swore?

Can UK have Hawaii back too?

Hawaii freely joined the union back in 1959. That's a major difference between the way of thinking in the ol'Europe and the US. (Sic Semper Tyrannis!)

Truly glad to hear it, though I was just joking about your willingness to hire on for 2 beers and a bolt. Have you narrowed it down by country or are you still open to anywhere?

So do I. First it became a 10 pin bowling alley. Then a Kwik Save. Next a carpet warehouse. Now it's a Wetherspoon's.

I think I didn't start soon enough. Some of the replies I've received are like: "we've received an unusual number of submissions for the position...". So, uh, yeeeeaaaah...150,000+ finance sector unemployed = not good. Guess I'm not the only one with my idea. I'm pretty much open to anywhere (within reason). The U.S. is out - too difficult to get a work permit, etc... I'm open to anywhere Europe and Asia basically. Luxembourg could be interesting.

Yeowks! Although if General Ford & Chrysler, inc go belly up, we'll have 3 mil hit the unemployments roles in one feel swoop. That'll take Michigan down and out, which'll lower the boom of the other 49, I suspect. At that point work permits will become non-existant, I'm afraid.
