A few days ago the Press released a news clipping about dropping gas prices coming just in time to assist businesses gearing up for the next busy Christmas season, only really about a month away. These falling gas prices will now supply consumers with extra cash for the gift giving season ahead. Well here is where the reality surfaces, the November elections,and the false front of the extra cash for Christmas is used to make us think the Saudis are doing us a favour when in fact it is helping the Republicans and George Bush to plug their views in order to get more of their side voted into office. Falling gas prices make us think everything is good with the world when in fact it is just a moment in time being used until this election stuff is over with. I used the term double entendra which implies two intended meanings. Do you know of another name for this sort of technique?

What ended up happening? I understand he's out of jail and under Beth's supervision.
Is he going to be extradited to Mexico?
Does anyone know when he goes back to court or if he already has?

WHY DON'T NHS bosses start hiring obsessive compulsives as nurses? Their attention to hygiene and constant hand washing would see an end to MRSA outbreaks in no time.

........however, because of it's high profile it is masking the fact that hundreds of thousands of immigrants from other continents are arriving.
Many of the immigrants from the new EU states are here to work (though I suspect many have come for a better way of life too), and will eventually go home. However there are two sources of immigration that should be a key concern for the British people.

1/ The number of migrants from Africa has soared
2/ Migrants from the middle eat are also arriving in huge numbers (I would urge you to treat ONS figures with extreme scepticism, I work for the statistical division of the government and have projected figures to hand).

Two problems here. The first is that people given permission to stay in the UK usually invite their extended families to join them, 1 person from India can soon equal 30.
The jobs taken formerly by these migrants are now taken by the EU arrivals due to their reputation as hard workers.

Saturday morning I got up early, put on my long johns, dressed quietly, made my lunch, grabbed the dog, slipped quietly into the garage to hook the boat up to the truck, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour.
There was snow mixed with the rain and the wind was blowing 50 mph. I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad throughout the day.
I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. There I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, "The weather out there is terrible."
She sleepily replied,
"Can you believe my stupid husband is out for fishing in this rubbish weather."

Does anyone know if debt recovery agencies are allowed to phone us on Sundays?

I am having dealings with Capquest at the moment. These people are rude agressive and they also phone on Sundays. (hence the question)

I have had enough already, I have given Direct Debit arrangements to them, but there was a hiccup at my bank..Capquest were on the phone again ....I ignored the phone for a while...then I found the phone number..not the 0870 number (You can get a normal one off their website) I then phoned them and spoke to a woman on the phone. She was trying to tell me what to pay. I just said..."Excuse me, I have already made an arrangement and that is the one I will adhere to" ...It did the trick.

I would like to hear form anyone else if they have expereinced the same thing.

Thanks.

i was being chased by a vampire (i wasnt scared of it, it was hunting me more then anything) and i kept killing it, but the next day it would be back, with its dead previous body laying where i killed it, and its costume would be slightly different, and there was a big pond with a pirate ship with a walkway going to it which i was on, and the vampire was in the water so i jumped in and killed it (again), the thing is no1 belived me, even though armed police where everywhere guarding the dead bodies, the only person who belived me was my best friend, for some reason we were in a house and she was getting changed and i looked away, but she told me it was okay, but when she took her top off her entire torso was as flat as a board with no belly button, no bumps, nothing. what does this dream mean? help, its really been nagging me!!!

Does egypt have a usual race combination of couples? It seems as if it's mostly egyptians combining w/ westerners. I have yet to see an egyptian mix with a chinese, japanese, south american, cuban/puerto rican. In egypt it's just egyptians mixing w/ egyptians, it's not bad. Perhaps it's due to travel restrictions? Why is egypt so homogenous? Also, my egytpian husband informed me there are chinese male prisoners/dissidents sent from china to an area in cairo--has the male chinese community began to racially intermix w/ the female egyptians yet (in terms of creating a family)?
