Re: Al Qatif :: here comes ISIS

What makes you think those Toyotas were paid for by ISIS? What's to stop them appropriating anything and everything in its path? I can't imagine them asking permission to use anything....

Re: Hello meet my wife...

Re: Malay Muslim groups to wage 'jihad' against Cadbury.

Re: Your New Year Resolutions

That is well over 10% of your bodyweight! That is a signifcant reduction.

In the article she states that her maintenance money, presumably from her ex-husband and consisting of nine quid, didn't come through.

In 1989 would nine pounds have been enough to keep a family...

Re: How long to get into Stones venue?

The BSAK choir sang backing vocals for "You Can't Always Get What You Want"....don't recall them singing vocals for "Brown Sugar". They may well have, but it wasn't their defining moment.
