    Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

    Obviously, you have never been brushed by a stinging nettle. :-D

    Once you lose your pride the rest is easy. In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you. – Buddha

      I did fall headfirst into a patch climbing over a fence to retrieve a football once. That smarted for a while.

          I think we should all be allowed to protect ourselves against unprovoked assaults with custard creams by being allowed to openly carry assault rifles and big-ass .44 Magnums!

                      What gets me is that either they were witnessed by police, or someone actually reported them! That'd be a good 999/911/000 call: "Yes, she threw a biscuit at me. I've got a small red mark. Couple of dozen cops? Perfect..." :doh:

                      Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

                            Tradition has it that when Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown (1781) the British played the tune "The World Turned Upside Down". (http://www.contemplator.com/england/worldtur.html[^]) Perhaps this should be made the official "on hold" music for British police forces (farces?)

                            If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

                                        The page is really really good ;) I bet you didn't even watch the video :P

                                        if(this.signature != "")
                                        {
                                        MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
                                        }
                                        else
                                        {
                                        MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");

                                        The English translation of the subtitles is almost as funny as the video. :-D

                                          {
                                          MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
                                          }
                                          else
                                          {
                                          MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
                                          }
