That is pretyy silly treaty to ban it. It is like 2 guys try to kill each other, but they agreed to to hit each other on the faces.

Its called Boxing 😀

5 more vessels in space of 24hrs after US captain was freed. 60 hostages taken, mostly philipino and Egyptian.

Until you deal with warlords (Sea Lords :D) controlling coastal fyfdoms in puntland you will not resolve the issue. Considering majority of trade affected is en route to Europe, here is the good opportunity for EU force (or NATO) to actually do something useful and relevant and justify the multi billion defense budgets. They need to establish permanent base in Kenya or even take over small lightly uninhabited part of somalia.. Unless you get permanent military presence there with operational naval and air base, the problem will only get worse, until shipping has to be diverted around cape, defeating the purpose of Suez

Like I said there are few inland lakes which are big enough for large submersible … Caspian being the most obvious one, US northern lakes as well, but somebody has stated that its banned by international treaties. Though i would like to see wording of the clause dealing with subs and large inland lakes. 😀

A brunette with great figure and long legs. My firm is having annual external audit so accountants from some firm are running all over the place. From my office i can see copy room and people copying are turned with their back to me. Anyway us engineers have a way of blocking the printers/copiers so that our important schematics and other restricted documents do not get accidently into other papers. Long story short ive been watching her trying figure out why copier is not working for something like 30 min… then i let her shoot of few copies and lock it again.. next step is to go out there and help her by “fixing” the problem :diablo:

This is retribution for DoD outing the “China” link between Minister of Defense , senior Labour members, and Prime minister him self.

They are saving 5-8 Bn buy cutting some essential programs, yet he has no problem throwing 42Bn in a vote buying scheem, of which 2-4 Bn will go to people living now in foreign countries, just like 10-15% of the last “stimulus” package went to “pensioners” living in Italy, China,Spain,Portugal , Balkans etc.. my friend has grandparents who have been in Sicily for the last 15 years straight, and they got sent cash to “stimulate Aus ecoonomy”

But this is all in the chairmans Rudd’s plan for more prosperous Socialist Union of Democratic Republics of Australia 😉

Meh, without that cheat diffuser Ferrari by far has faster car as was proven in testing, followed close by RedBull and Renault. Once the FIA hearing is done and final decision is made this week, things will be back to same old same old, since either A) Brown Toyota Williams will be froced to remove diffuser and be docked pts.. or B) and more likely we will see everybody sporting one in about 2-3 races. In both cases the usual suspects will be back on top.. minus McLaren who seem to be way off the pace.
