Here are some cool ideas that you might want to use. By radio stations BBC Radio 2 (2004): The Jeremy Vine Show reported that Germany had pulled out of the Euro but, as the German Mark was no longer in existence, they were in negotiations to join the British pound. Outraged listeners called in their hundred to say that such a move would be an assault on British sovereignty.[citation needed] BBC Radio 4 (2005): The Today Programme announced in the news that the long-running serial The Archers had changed their theme tune to an upbeat disco style.[13] Death of a mayor: In 1998, local WAAF shock jocks Opie and Anthony reported that Boston mayor Thomas Menino had been killed in a car accident. Menino happened to be on a flight at the time, lending credence to the prank as he could not be reached. The rumor spread quickly across the city, eventually causing news stations to issue alerts denying the hoax. The pair were fired sh... http://skt37.multiply.com/journal/item/110/In_celebration_of_World_Prank_Day... Fri, 12 Oct 2007 07:02:00 -0000 Call this number +607-2212-999 According to Mr Tan (not me; as reported by AsiaOne), this number is more immediate because officers may not always be able to respond to police station calls immediately due to work matters. He added: "If the officer does not arrive within 15 minutes, report it to us. The Chief of Police will look into why the police officer arrived late." ---- - gosh, wouldn't there be alot of prank calls then? hmm.. can use that to kill time when the EPL season http://skt37.multiply.com/journal/item/109/Reporting_a_Johor_crime_ Wed, 29 Aug 2007 17:21:00 -0000 <a href=http://www.fishandchipsbangkok.com/>http://www.fishandchipsbangkok.com/</a> I would have say yes - so far. But that is only because I have not had the luxury of trying out fish and chips elsewhere. In reality, it comes way way back when compated to our regular Fish & co and even LJS. NO.2 rated best fish and chips in BKK (from the forums) is in Soi Cowboy; incidentally located just 15 mins (walking) from our serviced apartment @ Sukhs. So the highlight of the day for me was spending an afternoon, walking through backpacker country Khao San in the blazing sun. Peering into the shops and people watching. The ang mo crowd here is different from the regular siam paragon/square crowd. Most are dressed comfortably only in berms and t-shirt. Brought back fond memories of my backpacking days, of just lazing around in the cafes for many afternoons on end; reading a good book. I've put up some pics of our lunch though. :) More to come @ the regular Food Glorious Food site! http://skt37.multiply.com/journal/item/108/OH_MY_COD......Best_Fish_and_Chips_in_BKK....

But he is now a defendant in a multi-million-dollar lawsuit after his friend, lawyer David Rasif, absconded with millions of dollars in client funds. According to Mr Lim, Rasif spun a story that he was about to receive a sum of money from London but wanted to evade the tax that he would have to pay if the funds were deposited in a Singapore bank.

The series creator, David E. Kelley, was impressed at Groban's performance at The Family Celebration event, and, based on the audience reaction to Groban's singing, Kelley created a character for Groban in this finale. The character of Malcolm Wyatt was so popular, with 8,000 emails from fans,[4] that Groban was asked to return the next season to reprise his role and perform "To Where You Are." The singer's eponymous debut album Josh Groban was released on November 20, 2001. Over the next year, it went from gold to double-platinum.[5] http://skt37.multiply.com/journal/item/104/Josh_Groban_Ally_Mcbeal.

I like their local ecomomy rice (they call it 自助餐) or 'self pigz lunch'. been to those shops quite a few times.

It's has been about 6 months since I spoke to him and we have been several timezones and an accident apart. He's starting to work 2 hours from home each day. In New Zealand, they have a occupational therapist who will asses your condition and intercede with your employer to determine the amount of work you can do. Just last week, he could not read due to severe headaches. It is amazing how quickly the body can cover. He was complaining about boredom - which is a good sign. ---------------------------------------------- It was nice to receive emails from some of you and we really appreciate that your thoughts are with us.
