We're obviously referring to the Untied States. I'm not speaking Spanish or Portuguese, am I? And when have you ever heard a Canadian call them self American? All that aside, southeast US. Where its hot year around and everyone is an idiot. Quite.

NI motor-cyclist Trevor Ferguson, as a result of a crash during a race of the Manx Grand Prix.

A former colleague (Charlie) told of one night, how, through a friend of a friend of a friend, he ended up at a party hosted by Robert Powell (the actor) and his wife Babs Lord (the dancer). It should be noted that Charlie was rather diminutive of stature and about as butch-looking as Dean Gaffney. As the evening wore on, Miss Lord/Mrs Powell approached my erstwhile colleague Charlie and asked who he was and how he came to be at their party. Rather unimpressed, she remarked that he looked rather effeminate. His retort was "Compared with you love, everybody does".

Gone.
