Bit harsh, what's he done to you?

Found this article relating to his Hepatitis C diagnosis. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/headli...nt/4216087.html He says he is clear of it now, but it is still worth reporting me thinks. A few years ago there was some discussion on the different strains of Hep, and which one is likely to see you off. Can't find the thread now, and can't remember which Hep is worse either. DWB

Awesome tribute @Clorox Bleachman, sounds like you’ll have plenty of fond memories of a pair of equally awesome people. All the best.

I think Croatia will win, in semifinals legit and in finals on penalties again. Or maybe both games on penalties with 0:0 before that and no attacks on goal. Why not? hahahahahahahahaha

Those numbers are quite interesting. The total may be fewer than 400,000 worldwide. The article mentions that the US has around 141,000 veterans, Russia has around 103,000 and there are likely thousands or tens of thousands more in other post-Soviet states. What's the amount for the UK and Germany, and the rest of Europe? The estimate for Germany in 2017 seems to have been around 275,000 male veterans but that was five years ago. Estimate for Finland seems to be (source, September 2022) 3,500 veterans, including 600 war invalids - average age 97, additionally there's 10,000 war widows, widows of veterans and spouses of veterans. Can't find how much living French veterans there are, other countries would need a bit more research...Albania's National Liberation Movement has only one known remaining veteran, Ismet Elezi. Outside Europe? Canada had (source) 20,300 living WWII veterans in March 2021. Average age was 96 back then, additionally there were 5,200 living Korean War veterans in Canada, average age 89. Mexico's last WWII veteran died a few weeks ago, right? Can't find much about the veterans of Latin America. Asia + Oceania: China and Japan still have a ton of veterans and some famous ones still alive, but no proper estimates exist as far as I know. As well as Taiwan. Kazakhstan had 1,090 veterans in March 2020 (source). Not sure about India, but there are Indian WWII veterans still alive. Thailand also still has some, as does Myanmar. Malaysia's last veteran died this year. Australia still has an estimated 7,800, April 2022 estimate (source) New Zealand had under 400 in 2020, including Sir Bom Gillies, last Māori Battalion veteran. Probably much less now. Papua New Guinea's last veteran died in 2013, Fiji's last veteran Jale Bainisika in 2020, American Samoa's last veteran died in 2019. Africa: Nigeria still has an unknown amount of WWII veterans including Mele Ture who was honoured last month: However I doubt there's a lot of them left. Same for Ethiopian veterans. How many are there left of the King's African Rifles? Tanzania's General David Musuguri atleast is one. Uganda also still has some veterans Albert Kunyuku, 100, is the last veteran of DR Congo. Ebou Janha, the last veteran of Gambia, died this year Also mentioned is that there are still 161,000 living Holocaust survivors in Israel only.

Damn Afida lost the 2 loves of her life (Ronnie and rapper Coolio) in 3 months time. On another note, I smell Tina's death for 2023.

Can’t dance either, apparently.

This (google translated) article proves her a DL fraud. " "For a moment to enjoy (being home from hospital), because on 27 March I will be admitted again for a long time. Hope the pain becomes bearable again! " People planning a suicide don't hope for future events. Were she planning suicide her comment would translate 'I won't be going back, my pain will soon be over'. SC

One wonders why the US didn't go metric after 1790. regards, Hein Probably because most of their trade was still with Britain. In 1790 metric was still being debated by the French Academy of Sciences.
