We might now have to start filling the car up properly...start with sticking guests in boot and the roof bun
Maybe tie a dog kennel to the roof. Worked for Romney.

I love how quick some lawyers are here.

A recently announced non hostile acquisition of company A by company B, in which I have an interest, was hit with the first of several law suits within an hour of the press release going out. That would have been around 7am in NYC.

That's impressive!!

To my thinking that's also the actions of a bunch of leaches. But I'd never say that in an open forum like this, I wouldn't want to prejudice anything...

I was a bit of a dick with my first post. Here's a few things I do like about the US:

The US put a man on the moon and pioneered aviation.

Enough said ...
