On a lighter note.
Back in the 80s, in Baga, when Baga was still a hippie hangout,
I met this old hippie, who had cycled from Manali to Goa, on a old Indian
pushbike, no gears or anything.
On his journey he slept, on the side of the road, no hotels or guest
houses etc.
Just him, his bike, and his bedroll.
Not for me.
In his tyres of his bike, he had stuffed them full of herb to
sell in Goa.
Those were the days!!!.

Re: On a lighter note.
now that everything retro is fashionable, the ring tone could even be "QUIT INDIA !" "QUIT INDIA !"
Reminiscent of the India of the 1940's

Re: On a lighter note.
A joke currently doing the rounds here, probably inspired by recent publicity regarding face and arm transplants, goes as follows :-
A chap takes his Dad,who suffers from acute long and short term memory loss to the Docs.
'No problem sir,we are now doing brain transplants at the local hospital , which will totally cure the situation.'
'But how much will that cost us,we are not terribly rich' quizzed the son.
'It all depends which brain you choose, for example a British one is £25k. an American one £50k or a Thai one £100k.' explained the Doc.
'But why is the Thai brain so expensive ?' the son asked in surprise
'Never used you see,never used' was the physicans answer.
Could this joke be changed to accomodate any politicians, or others ,in a small South West Indian state ?

Re: On a lighter note.
and on a happy note to cheer us up (or me at least) have just had a pm from my old 'noffi mate Remy 
he says to tell you all he has missed you, has moved house in July, and has not had his broadband set up. He hopes to back on line in a few weeks. When his wife allows him too, after doing all the jobs around the new house.Look forward to the banter Remy
we need cheering up.
