Yes, I really think it's unusual to name an egg cup holder. I admit that I know only a few dozen of owners of egg holders, but this is the first named egg holder I heard of. I don´t use margarine, but if I did, I´d call it margarine, or more traditionally (but incorrectly) boter.

Far be it from me to criticise American education, it brings the US remarkable sport success, but shouldn´t a uni prez promote academic things? That Technology Center may be that, but the rest ain't.

I'm surprised to learn that egg holder had a name. Buildings, ships, lorries and locomotives regularly have names, so named egg holders aren't so daft, but it's unusual.

Some of them are quite good and you can tell who they are meant to be. and a few others could just as well have had Mike Yarwood doing the impersonation. You mean Bowie sang in the style of Harold Wilson and Ted Heath?? Could well be. Were Wilson and Heath a singing duo?

Yup I've read some of his stuff. His we're all doomed about the y2k bug tarnished his reputation a bit. Nevertheless: a big one in my trade dies, and quite unexpectedly.

Today in 2004 Dutch athlete Fanny Blankers-Koen died, aged 85. Her 4 gold medals at the 1948 London games are still the record for a Dutch competitor at a single Olympic Games.

Well done, Spade, bragging rights fully earned.

Neither way of appointing a head of state assures that the appointed one is any good. In most modern monarchies and republics of the German and Italian model that doesn't matter much, since the job holds no political power, but in other cases it does. I rather like the idea that you get to vote away an unsatisfactory one, rather than wait till he/she/it dies or gets bumped.

Sorry to hear that. That it was expected doesn't make it better. I happen to be 53; I completely agree.

Good. The Queen should head only the UK, imho. I mean, FFS, I doubt she can even name more than 5 Australian cities. Some don't think she should head even that. Not that the old girl hasn't done a stirling job, but the very business of having an unelected head of state from a right of birth family is seen by many as perpetuating the absurd class system, which in this time of ever increasing disparity between the have's and the have nots is increasingly divisive. Up the workers! I'm afraid that many Brits don't share these eminently reasonable opinions. It seems this prime example of privilege by birth doesn't hit them as unfair. I prefer the democratic argument: all citizens are equally entitled to be appointed in any government position, which includes that of head of state. An argument can be made that the Queen is not a British citizen (she's certainly not a British subject), but that might just as well be used to argue that she can't be head of state. BTW, all the above holds true for her distant cousin Willem-Alexander, who is a Dutch citizen. He even has the vote.

Have you tried using your iPhone yet?

You have to walk through the gift shop to get in or out of the place - unless you start a fire. That's when you use the latter that I suggested. We only have one here in Minnesota, I've yet to eat there. I have to admit that I am more intrigued that there's a gift shop than finding out what the food is like. Perhaps the stuff sold in the gift shop tastes better.

now five But a five that actually means four.

I won't deny or confirm such stories about the Japanese. I do know that some US soldiers sent home interesting souvenirs: The above photo is from Life magazine of May 22, 1944. I have no way of knowing whether it is or is not the skull of a Japanese KIA. Much less tastefully displayed: American mutilation of Japanese war dead.

Nobody does. Vessels are like rivers.

He was convicted of manslaughter, for which the "standard" penalty is 8 years, but the maximum is 15. First offender, one year off: seems ordinary. What's the rate where you live? 20 years but he clearly killed his wife her body was found in the house for crying out loud. The maximum penalty for manslaughter in England & Wales is life imprisonment. The sentence is usually less, but not always, as in this case. FIRST OFFENDER for Manslaughter?!???? What in all of fuck? You dumb asses treat it like wreckless driving! Would you were that woman's sibling and hand me that 'first offense' manslaughter 'seems ordinary' nonsense. We may well be dumb asses, but it's standing practice in Dutch criminal justice. If you don't like it, propose to change it. If you care enough: immigrate and vote to change it.

What's the rate where you live? 20 years but he clearly killed his wife her body was found in the house for crying out loud. Yes, he admitted killing her. For murder the law requires premetidated killing. Apparently the court held that premetidation as not proven, so could not convict for murder and had to settle for manslaughter. If you don't like the law, propose to change it. If you care enough: immigrate and vote to change it.

And now Kristin rushed to hospital after a car crash, though it's minor. SC http://allforexnews.net/2016/01/22/kristin-cavallari-rushed-to-hospital-after-car-crash/ There's no major hospital around?

Clowns are scary.

Is that a common Polish family name?

Due to stupidity I can´t exactly reconstruct, I deleted it. I used my Super Admin Powers to resurrect it.

Can't remember Johnson, or his Olympic victory. I remember the Sarajevo games mostly from its speed skating tournament: Canadian Gaétan Boucher did brilliantly. Silver medalist of the 1000m event, Sergey Khlebnikov, a personal favourite, died in 1999 by drowning in a pond. The Dutch were pants and failed to win medals.

"Jesus, that morphine is bloody good."She did NOT say that!!!!! She's American, so obviously didn't say "bloody" Ok, let me rephrase that: "Jesus, that morphine is just what the doctor ordered."
