        Apart from the Jousting. In Jousting you hold the Lance in your RIGHT hand, and the tip goes to the LEFT hand side of the horse, and the opponent is on the left. The reason is that this gives you more of a balance, and the horse wont break it's neck when you hit the opponent. I know this because I joust!

        Let me think, does it mean the jouster rides on the right side of the road? :omg:

          It's Friday and time for a wee rant. Unfortunatly, any rant about computa stuff has been done to death; Thanks CG and JSOP. So what shall I rant about today? Some initial ideas are: - Luton airport really is pants, - Why is Cheese so shite [joke for the Hungarians], - It is suppost to be the summer and the weather is crud, or - Why ranting sucks. Has anybody get any better ideas, or shall I just stick to ranting about ranting?

            Woo hoo, I have something to rant about! :) I try to bring some humour, fun, frolicks and Llamas into the lounge, and somebody gives me onesy. How very puril, it's like voting for the leftwing and then wondering where the servents have gone. Come on, own up! Who's Univoting, I am angry now, look: :badger:

              Not from where I learnt - Oz drive on the correct side of the road as well. I remember a particularly hairy experience leaving Charles de Gaulle and a roundabout some years ago, not to be repeated.

                  I believe the case is that all lagers are beers, but not all beers are lagers :) Personally I prefer a cold 'n frosty in the summer and a nice warm flat one in the winter :)

                  Nope, never could drink a warm flat one, I tried (large) number of different beers (as in warm flat) and never found a substitue fora cold frosty lager. Give me a beer with a head on it and a glass that frosts and I'm happy.

                        Pah! It took me ages at a hotel in NL to get them trained to tip the glass and pour the beer slowly. I was paying for a glass of beer, not air! Iain.

                        I have now moved to Sweden for love (awwww). If you're in Scandinavia and want an MVP on the payroll (or happy with a remote worker), or need cotract work done, give me a job! http://cv.imcsoft.co.uk/[^]
