I know this period must be light on news but FFS! Well done to you of course Nikki and noting personal but this is hardly news.

Good to see all of the cruise ships in recently including two today. Not a bad day for the races; just don't tune into Pimmy. He cold bore you to death.

...and they lack the most important question. Are Synergy macheads, linuxers (and from there what distro) or windozers -- or will they just gracious acquiesce to reason and use whatever their secretaries tell them to use (or else).

This story is what is known as a filler. Mercopress are waiting for the next maniacal lunge from the Argies, i'm sure it won't be long, we are well overdue another pot and pan parade, repossessed ship or another gripe at the UN.

I can't believe the FIG signed this agreement without Buenos Aires permission. What were they thinking? Now they will be labeled as a rogue province, infested by pirates. Surely the Argentine government won't sit idly by and do nothing while its rogue Malvinas province makes its own outside agreements. I'm sure they will take action, by force if necessary, to bring them “back” into the fold..............(crickets)....................(crickets).................
