Thanks Carol, keep it up, you're doing great.               

Begorrah, having sobered up, dusted down my shamrocks,decommissioned my weapons of mass destruction: I'd like to suggest that someone start a new thread, preferably with the word "Beslan" in the title, or perhaps, "Russian massacre"', which might be more recognisable in more insular necks of woods.

btw, why do Americans think it's ok for them to have have weapons of mass destruction and not other countries,like Iran for example? Too many fundamentalists?

Back to the booze now.
