I've always been a tad sceptical of these sensational poll results, which appear at regular intervals in the British press.

stuff like 'Two thirds of all British schoolkids don't know why we celebrate Easter' and '0% of British school kids can name a single European prime minister'.

When I was at school, I certainly don't remember being asked to take part in any of these dumb polls.

I agree... Seems British media are a bit less critical for themselves when it comes to publishing than Belgian

Today in the newspaper they had an article on an article in a British newspaper (don't remember which one exactly, one of the gossipy kind) which published a story about a Flemish politician hooking up with a Walonian. A bloody hilarious read, I must say, and not too much truth in there

Unfortunately the Department of Homeland takes the view that some of the actions of the ANC while they were in opposition count as acts of terror (blowing things up, the Mandela FC, things like that) - therefore Mandela and Mbeki have to apply ahead of time for visas to visit the US, even when they're on official state visits. Sound crazy to you?

Actually the madness of it all came to me when the 'Live8' was a disaster, when the leaders of the world came together to talk and decide on the poverty of the African countries that was disturbered, in a very rude way I will add, by the terrorists and *funny* (please see the irony in this) in the country where the prime minister of the UK was interrupted, as where the proceeding of that very important meeting.

That crazy mixed-up place you talk about I am glad to have no association with and as for Terre-Blanche, he is either a dead man by now or else kakking in his pants because he looks like...
This Krazy Kooks list sounds very interesting...although those two forces together sounds like a blood bath to me and that is no laughing matter!

Sorry for this less serious note but: 'kakking his pants'

Just as long as don't have to explain!
