Yes, but then if they get a bad review they kill themselves, so no.

I've got it!

He's given Coolup excuses to start not one, but two funny threads (although at least one ended up being not-so-funny by the end).

Let's all give Chirac a big round of applause!

That restaurant Ren and I visited in St Malo did the best garlic prawns ever, surely he should get some credit for that, he might have taught the chef to cook for all we know.

Well, if nothing else, I guess we can laud him for his undying loyalty to old friends and trading partners like (ahem!) Saddam Hussein.

You don't frighten us, coalition pig-dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person. I blow my nose at you. Now go away or I will taunt you a second time.

The one of whom Ehud Barak recently said "Assad will understand what it means to be isolated in the world. Like Albania. And if he doesn't understand, his wife will explain it to him. She was an analyst at Cambridge".

Few have touted the virtues of Anglo-Saxon women more than I have, but let's look at the record here: The Iron Maiden vs. some woman with a guy who looks like Eric Idle vs. Boy Assad UX. . Is there any competition here? I mean, let's get syrious!

1. A little too cherubic-faced.
2. Has kissed Hillary Clinton
3. May actually have even kissed Yasser at one point.
4. Constant chatter about "well-poisoning" would spoil those romantic moments.
5. Would go to Paris and spend all your money.
