Personally white tipped Reef sharks - they just look so fast and shark-like

Just a thought. How does that sit with Federalisation in the 1950s to enforce civil rights judgements? Didn’t Eisenhower federalise National Guard units to stop them interfering under state governor instructions as well as to provide an alternative that was less provocative than the Regular Army?

Very impressive but the quality of your videos justifies it.

Tony Judt wrote something about all real history being disturbing as we have (sensibly) built a framework to understand what happens in the world around us and history shows us that reality is far more complicated than that model.

Really liked Firefly and Buffy (and still do, only I respect the actors more for what they had to go through to make it) but it was when I attempted to watch Dollhouse that I realised Joss had issues.

Haven’t the PLA had a professional NCO for about 20 years? Or are we thinking about different definitions of professional?

To keep me under control one day on an escalator my Mum told me if I didn’t pay attention and jump off at the end I would be sucked under at the end and maybe killed. Believed this for years and couldn’t understand why everyone else was so relaxed on escalators.

Most effective use of little quotes was on my copy of Ian Bank’s the Wasp Factory. Not just the cover but several pages of contradictory quotes (‘torture porn rubbish’ to Fay Weldon’s ‘Banks is the great white hope of British literature). Showed you were about this read something a bit strange.

I think this is true but there are probably also some men who won’t say they are voting for Trump in front of their wives and girlfriends.
