Now I've risen to the ranks of the P.C's, does this allow me to propagate the shit of the species? I like Baa Baa Black Sheep, and that is P.I. I also like black pudding. I suppose that is now called Coloured Pudding in the UK.

Initially when Dread had mentioned P.C., Ithought it was yet another piece of computer lingo which I didn't know. The few I am familiar with include , BTW,FFS, and sometimes LOL. I was so let down when he revealed the truth. It's not alcoholic. OMG ( that's another ) how can I face the day ahead? The sun is rising above the yardarm, time to go.

An honest mistake,Dread.

It's nice to make people happy. When leaving the pub in Calangute, last Saturday, apparently the landlord prevented me from falling off the bike..........again.( I was going to write that it happend while I was mounting the pilot, but that could be misinterpreted !!!!!!! ) Quite honestly, I didn't remember, but it was a good laugh yesterday when some of the witnesses were giving physical versions of my efforts.

Finger paining, must rest. :nod:

Congress' one ticket rule goes for a toss in Goa to pacify four powerful cabinet ministers

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/indiahome...ministers.html

Breaking its much-touted rule of one ticket per family, the Congress gave extra tickets to families of four powerful Goa ministers for the assembly polls.

The party succumbed to the demands of the four cabinet ministers as it released its second list of candidates on Tuesday for March 3 elections.

It allotted as many as 10 seats in the 40-member assembly to the 'dynasties' - an unprecedented 25 per cent.
Special treatment? Valanka Alemao (right), daughter of Churchill Alemao (left), was one of the family members who was given an extra ticket

Special treatment? Valanka Alemao (right), daughter of Churchill Alemao (left), was one of the family members who was given an extra ticket

The list comprises Valanka, daughter of public works department minister Churchill Alemao; Reitesh, son of home minister Ravi Naik; Dhaku, brother of MLA Pandurang Madkaikar; and Jeniffer, wife of education minister Atanasio Monserratte.

The Alemao family already has two tickets - Churchill Alemao (Navelim) and Joaquim Alemao (Cuncolim).

Valanka would contest for the Benaulim constituency.

Valanka was earlier disqualified as Youth Congress president candidate for misusing her father's clout to influence the outcome of the poll from Benaulim.

Reitesh's father, home minister Ravi Naik, has already got a ticket for the Ponda constituency.

Congress legislator Pandurang Madkaikar, who courted controversy for allotting the high security number plate contract to a firm, will contest for Cumbharjua constituency, while his brother Dhaku has been given a ticket for Priol.

Monserratte, a candidate for St Cruz on the first list, has managed to secure the Taleigao constituency for his wife, Jeniffer.



Politics that would shame a Banana Republic, oh wait !! :blink:

Well I just watched the Top Gear India (Christmas) Special.
In view of the fuss about the program I was prepared for a few particularly insensitive Clarksonisms - but there weren't any, they were all quite well behaved for them. The toilet humour was just that, and if anything they played down how bad the driving is, especially at night.

I find it quite seriously worrying that people
- including senior people- took offense.
