  1. Since I grew up in the States I prefer to speak English. I find it more convenient than the vernacular.
  2. Three women worked in the same office with the same female boss. Each day, the boss left work early. One day, the women decided that when the boss left they would leave too. After all, she never called or came back to work, so how would she know they went home early? The brunette was thrilled to be home early. She did a little gardening, had some playtime with her son, and went to bed early. The redhead was elated to be able to get in a quick workout at the spa before meeting a dinner date. The blonde was happy to get home early and surprise her husband. But when she got home, she heard a muffled noise coming from inside her bedroom. Slowly and quietly, she cracked open the door and was mortified to see her husband in bed with her boss! Gently, she closed the door and crept out of her house. The next day, at their coffee break, the brunette and redhead said they planned to leave early again, and they asked the blonde if she was going to go with them. "No way," she said. "I almost got caught yesterday!"
  3. This is one of my favorite Bob Marley lines. It really shows the rastaman's passion for music. Here's another one: “In this bright future you can't forget your past, so dry your tears I say..” ---- Bob Marley
  4. I can't seem to open the link but It's sad to say that these kinds of things are still happening in the so-called "modern, civilized world". I agree that when we see injustice being done we must not remain apathetic, we have to do something about it. _______________________

  7. Shocked Shoaib protests innocence Paceman Shoaib Akhtar has protested his innocence after failing a drugs test for a banned anabolic steroid. Shoaib and team-mate Mohammad Asif tested positive for nandrolone. But the 31-year-old said: "I have not knowingly taken any performance enhancing drugs and would never cheat my team-mates or opponents in this way. He told his official website: "I have always played the game fair and I give 100% and do not feel that I need to take drugs to help my bowling." Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer said he was shocked and disappointed when he heard the news but pledged his team would carry on in the tournament.
  8. A guy walks into a bar and orders a drink. After a few more he needs to go to the can. He doesn't want anyone to steal his drink so he puts a sign on it saying, "I spat in this beer, do not drink!". After a few minutes he returns and there is another sign next to his beer saying, "So did I!"
  9. Great article. The authorities should provide tighter regulations in order to avoid such incidents from ever occuring again. With people like those goons loitering around, it is not safe for women and even men to roam the streets.These people deserve to stay behind bars.
  10. ICC Champions Trophy, Jaipur: India 126-6 beat England 125 by four wickets India beat England by four wickets in the Champions Trophy curtain-raiser in Jaipur after the hosts had produced an excellent bowling performance. Munaf Patel and Ramesh Powar each took three wickets and Irfan Pathan removed Andrew Flintoff for a duck as England were bowled out for 125 in 37 overs. England fought back valiantly with the ball, taking six Indian wickets in all. But the tourists had not scored enough runs and Yuvraj Singh (27 not out) got the hosts home in the 30th over. The best performance by any batsman in the match was Paul Collingwood's 38, and James Anderson collected two wickets on his international comeback. Anderson, whose last appearance for England had been in mid-April, also in India, removed pinch-hitter Pathan (19) and India captain Rahul Dravid in a single over. Jamie Dalrymple and Steve Harmison also collected a brace of wickets each, though Harmison's first over cost 20 runs. Ultimately Sachin Tendulkar (35) and Yuvraj did enough for India on a wicket that was never easy to bat on. We probably started badly with both bat and ball and were always chasing the game There was plenty of uneven bounce and some swing movement on offer throughout. England were not, however, helped by umpire Daryl Harper's decision to uphold Patel's appeal for lbw against Ian Bell in the fourth over of the match. The ball would have sailed over the stumps. But when Flintoff and Michael Yardy also got their pads in the way of the ball, they had little reason to complain. If 17-3 looked bad, then 27-4 was a total disaster for the tourists, who had been asked to bat first when India won the toss. ______________________________
  11. A blonde calls Delta Airlines and asks, "Can you tell me how long it'll take to fly from San Francisco to New York City?" The agent replies, "Just a minute..." "Thank you," the blonde says, and hangs up.
  12. 'Eight held' over Pakistan alerts Pakistan's interior minister says a total of eight suspects are being held following recent security alerts in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. But Aftab Sherpao said he could not say if any of them were army officers. The suspects were held after rockets and rocket launchers were found near key buildings in Islamabad last week. Mr Sherpao said initial indications suggested that the suspects were all Pakistani nationals who had links with the al-Qaeda network. On Thursday President Pervez Musharraf said he might have been the subject of a planned attack by the suspects. But on Friday Mr Sherpao said the suspects told investigators that they were not planning to attack the president, but rather were aiming at creating panic. When asked by the BBC News website if any of the detained were army officers, Mr Sherpao said: "This is too specific, I can't answer that at present." Dismissed Two rockets and a rocket launcher were found close to the parliament building in Islamabad last week. President Musharraf was in a conference centre about 2km away when the discovery was made. Hours earlier, a small explosive device was detonated in a park close to the president's home in nearby Rawalpindi, although the military dismissed suggestions that the blast was related to Gen Musharraf. On Saturday, two more rockets were discovered near the headquarters of the ISI intelligence agency in Islamabad. _________________________________
  13. Yeah definitely, they got Beckham, Rooney, Owen and a whole lot of talented players on their roster but just like what the article said when Maclaren did a different formation everything went wrong for them. As a coach he must find the perfect formation and plays for the team. ____________________________

  17. As Governor, Bush got to ceremonially act as a state trooper for a day. While operating a speed trap Bush pulled over a Texas farmer. He lectured the farmer about his speed and the necessity of obeying laws made by his superiors, and in general threw his weight around. Finally, he got around to writing the ticket, and as he was doing so he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head. The farmer said, "Having some problems with circle flies there, are ya, Sir?" Bush stopped writing the ticket and said, "Well yeah, if that's what they are -- I never heard of circle flies." So the farmer says, "Well, circle flies are common on farms. See, they're called circle flies because they're almost always found circling around the back end of horses." Bush says, "Oh," and goes back to writing the ticket. After a minute he stops and slowly says, "Hey... wait a minute, are you trying to call me a horse's <admin-profanity filter activated>?" The farmer says, "Oh no, Governor, I have too much respect for you to even think about calling you a horse's <admin-profanity filter activated>." Grinning broadly, Bush says, "Well, that's a good thing," and goes back to writing the ticket. After a long pause, the farmer says, "Hard to fool them flies though." ________________________ home owner insurance defective product attorneys dc term life insurance
  18. Vote on N Korea sanctions delayed China and Russia have delayed a vote on a new UN resolution, drafted by the US, that calls for sanctions on North Korea over its claimed nuclear test. The US had wanted to put its new draft of a resolution to a vote on Friday. The draft targets the North's missile and nuclear programmes under the UN's Chapter Seven - which makes sanctions mandatory and may allow using force. China has concerns over the enforcement of a resolution and, with Russia, wants more time to consider the US draft. Following talks at the UN Security Council on Thursday, China is to send a top envoy to discuss the matter with US President George W Bush. The envoy is expected to travel to Moscow on Saturday for further talks. Western diplomats believe China's support for the draft resolution is essential if tough action is to be taken against North Korea, says the BBC's UN correspondent, Laura Trevelyan. Japanese sanctions North Korea's underground test reportedly took place at 1036 (0136 GMT) on Monday in Gilju in north-east Hamgyong province. Russia is the only country to have confirmed that it was a nuclear explosion, amid speculation the test was not wholly successful. South Korea said on Thursday that it had not detected any abnormal radioactivity levels on its soil after its northern neighbour's alleged nuclear test. On Friday Japan's cabinet approved fresh sanctions on North Korea, including banning all imports from the country. Pyongyang said earlier it would take "strong countermeasures" against Japan if the sanctions were enforced. There is agreement in the UN Security Council that North Korea should face punitive measures, but countries are divided over how tough these should be. The US wants the sanctions - which would also target luxury goods - to be brought under Chapter Seven of the UN Charter. This means they would be mandatory and ultimately enforceable by military means. The draft resolution also includes a clause allowing nations to ban the entry or transit of people believed to support Pyongyang's weapons programme, reports say. But China, Russia and South Korea have expressed varying degrees of opposition. China is also reported to be unhappy about authorising inspections of cargo vessels moving in and out of North Korea in order to find weapons-related material. ______________________ home owners defective products term life insurance quote

  20. Croatia 2-0 England Paul Robinson was left embarrassed as England crashed to a dismal defeat against Croatia in the Euro 2008 qualifier in Zagreb. Eduardo's header had given Croatia a deserved 61st-minute lead before keeper Robinson was involved in a nightmare moment eight minutes later. Gary Neville's back-pass struck a divot as Robinson went to clear, and he watched in agony as the ball rolled in. Robinson had previously produced a string of saves to keep Croatia at bay. England coach Steve McClaren's tactical re-shuffle to a 3-5-2 formation was brutally exposed as his side barely mounted an attack worthy of the name. And on the back of a poor performance in the goalless draw against Macedonia at Old Trafford, it left McClaren's supposedly brave new era looking distinctly underwhelming. England's revamped system produced few serious attacking options in a first 45 minutes in which only the excellence of goalkeeper Robinson kept England on level terms. He was in action as early as the sixth minute, diving low to save from Eduardo. Robinson produced a wonderful block to stop England going behind midway through the first half when Niko Kranjcar stole in on Milan Rapaic's cross with a volley from only eight yards. Rapaic was causing real problems for Ashley Cole, and it needed a desperate block from Rio Ferdinand to stop Kranjcar's shot after a cross was only half-cleared. Croatia continued to dominate after the break, and it needed another fine save from Robinson to keep out Mladen Petric's header. Wayne Rooney had been quiet again, but he almost broke his lengthy international goal drought with a trademark burst on to Peter Crouch's header, but he shot over the bar. Croatia deserved to be ahead, and they finally broke the deadlock after 61 minutes, when the diminutive Eduardo rose easily above the disappointing Cole to head home Niko Kovac's long cross. And Croatia doubled their lead in farcical fashion after 69 minutes in a remarkable incident involving the previously outstanding Robinson. Robinson moved to clear Neville's back-pass, but the ball hit a divot on the six-yard line and bobbled embarrassingly over his foot. The desperate McClaren then made a triple change, sending on Jermain Defoe, Kieran Richardson and Shaun Wright-Phillips for Crouch, Scott Parker and Jamie Carragher. It was a clear sign of just how poor England had been - and McClaren's game-plan will rightly attract a torrent of criticism.
  21. Aircraft hits New York building Two people have died after a small aircraft crashed into a high-rise apartment building in New York City's affluent Upper East Side. The plane was owned by New York Yankees baseball pitcher Cory Lidle. US media reports say he was piloting the plane at the time and died in the crash. The plane's impact caused a fireball, which set the 50-storey building on Manhattan island ablaze. The FBI says there is no indication that the crash is terrorism-related. The New York Fire Department said the aircraft struck the 20th floor of the building on East 72nd Street and York Avenue - identified as the Belaire, a prestigious residential tower. Local resident Mark Schaffer told the BBC News website that he saw the moment the plane hit from his building across the street. "I looked up when I heard a low flying plane and saw it as it crashed," Mr Schaffer said. "The rear half of the plane broke off and fell to the ground in flames. Glass sprayed out everywhere and people were screaming." Both of the people known to have died were on board the plane, officials said. Lidle's passport had been found at the scene of the crash, a police official said. But New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg refused to confirm the identities of those killed. He stressed that the incident appeared to be an accident. "There is nothing to suggest that anything remotely like terrorism was involved in this," he told a news conference. 9/11 flashbacks Nonetheless fighter planes were scrambled over several cities across the US in the aftermath of the crash. And the incident has evoked memories of the 11 September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center for many New Yorkers. Witness Joshua Asquith told the BBC news website: "Everybody was really shocked here, we thought of a terrorist attack. There was also a lot of noise and dust around here, causing an atmosphere of terror and fear." Roger Gosden, another eyewitness, told the BBC that "everyone in the street looked up [after hearing the crash], perhaps having flashbacks of 9/11". On Wall Street, stocks initially fell on news of the crash, but quickly recovered when it became clear that the incident was most likely an accident. The impact of the plane caused a loud noise and sent burning debris plummeting down onto the street below. Emergency workers rushed to the scene, while firefighters shot streams of water at the flames from the lower floors. The flames have now been put out, although BBC correspondent Guto Harri in Manhattan said fire engines, police cars and ambulances are still blocking nearby roads. ___________________________ colorado defective product best term life insurance accident lawyers new york city
  22. While visiting England, George Bush is invited to tea with the Queen. He asks her what her leadership philosophy is. She says that it is to surround herself with intelligent people. He asks how she knows if they're intelligent. "I do so by asking them the right questions," says the Queen. "Allow me to demonstrate." She phones Tony Blair and says, "Mr. Prime Minister. Please answer this question: Your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or sister. Who is it?" Tony Blair responds ,"It's me, ma'am." "Correct. Thank you and good-bye, sir," says the Queen. She hangs up and says, "Did you get that, Mr. Bush?" "Yes ma'am. Thanks a lot. I'll definitely be using that!" Upon returning to Washington, he decides he'd better put the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to the test. He summons Jesse Helms to the White House and says, "Senator Helms, I wonder if you can answer a question for me." "Why, of course, sir. What�s on your mind?" "Uhh, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?" Helms hems and haws and finally asks, "Can I think about it and get back to you?" Bush agrees, and Helms leaves. Helms immediately calls a meeting of other senior Republican senators, and they puzzle over the question for several hours, but nobody can come up with an answer. Finally, in desperation, Helms calls Colin Powell at the State Department and explains his problem. "Now lookee here, son, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?" Powell answers immediately, "It's me, of course, you dumb cracker." Much relieved, Helms rushes back to the White House and exclaims, "I know the answer, sir! I know who it is! It's Colin Powell!" And Bush replies in disgust, "Wrong, you dumb <admin-profanity filter activated>, it's Tony Blair!"
  23. Hey guys here is a great joke i came across yesterday: Three kids come down to the kitchen and sit around the breakfast table. The mother asks the oldest boy what he’d like to eat. "I’ll have some fuckin’ French toast," he says. The mother is outraged at his language, hits him, and sends him upstairs. She asks the middle child what he wants. "Well, I guess that leaves more fuckin’ French toast for me," he says. She is livid, smacks him, and sends him away. Finally she asks the youngest son what he wants for breakfast. "I don’t know," he says meekly, "but I definitely don’t want the fuckin’ French toast." :wub: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- credit consolidate home equity loans texas homeowners insurance rate
  24. Yes this seems like a strange idea. I think that the concept of heaven should be based not on the fears and vulnerability of us human beings but on the strength of our faith. In fact, I personally don't entertain ideas about heaven or hell because for me what is important is that as long as we are alive it is upon us to make the best of our time here. Our actions would become the basis of our afterlife not on some forwarded message in the E-mail or the words of people who claim that they can save us. If we are to be saved , then the question is from what? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- plastics consolidated low home equity loans homeowners insurance rates
