I nearly bought a Ford 250 pickup once, but instead went for a GMC 350 dayvan with sidewinder conversion.
6.5ltr V8 engine in a 1.5 tonne rear wheel drive black truck with pink velour and wood interior bring driven in deep snow. That was a good winter.
I like antique opals, but modern opals just look like dry toothpaste.
Mnmmm.. toothpaste… minty.

You've got to take care of opals. Becasue they are suck a soft stone, they actually can use oils to keep from getting that dried out look. Rubbing the stone along the crease of one's nose is pretty much the perfect way to keep it looking firey.

Opals are bad for the environment, they use di-hydrogen monoxide in the mining of them and we all know how bad for the environment that is, not to mention that the miners can often get covered in the stuff, and no matter how much they wash themselves they still end up covered in it.

A little known fact is that the oil secreted and collects near the nose crease is the very same natural compound found in shark liver oil known as squalene which is believed to be linked to Gulf War Syndrome. In addition to squalene, di-hydrogen monoxide was usually used as a liquid medium to assist in the swallowing of the squalene saturated compound.
Be safe, Ray

I like Escorts, although I do sometimes find them bit rough and some are poorly maintained May I suggests 'Madam Fifi of Mayfair'. Her escorts are always in tip top condition. Interesting thing about opals..did you know that a raw, unpolished opal..if you drill straight through the middle and add some strategically placed holes...it's possible to actually blow across one of the holes and get a pitch perfect note. Covering and uncovering the other holes with the fingers can actually achieve a tune. However due to it crystaline structure it very quickly causes the saliva glands to over compensate making it hard to sustain any tune for more tahn a minute or so. As I'm sure many Brits over a certain age have known for many years... "Opal Flutes-made to make your mouth water!" |

In the UK we call Opel Vauxhall.
I think it's a bit more complicated than that with different subsidiaries, international ownership of multi national companies and different model names of cars.
I once drove a chevy impala in Canada, it was like driving a sherry trifle.

I used to have a chevy. A Chevrolet Lanos.  I've also been to Canada and I drove a Ford Probe, automatic. Not a great car to pick up girls:"hey baby, wanna see my Probe?" .... Carry on, threading the jack. |

Bubba Hotep has my favorite alternate "Elvis Timeline." And, well, anything that dubs itself "a feel-good, redemptive mummy flick" is pretty much 100% in my book! |

I saw the Star Trek Experience in Vegas.
Was it out if this world?
No, but the price of the tickets was!
Anyway, it's been raining, but now it's sunny.

I think if Star Trek: NG would have had a holodeck episode where Elvis beats Wesley to a bloody pulp, the show would have been so very much better. Just my random thoughts. And it hasn't rained here in 3 months...  Be safe, Ray |

If it didn't rain in the UK for 3 straight months the country would shrink to the size of a postage stamp. But then how would Royal Mail manage to lose letters?

Persons intending to travel by open carriage should select a seat with their backs to the engine, by which means they will avoid the ashes emitted therefrom, that in travelling generally, but particularly through the tunnels, prove a great annoyance; the carriage farthest from the engine will in consequence be found the most desirable.

Sorry only healthy wholemeal. This is California. Red vinegar? Sorry only the white cooking variety. Americans don't put vinegar ON thier food. That's just plain nasty. Chips? Chips made by frying potatoes, not crisps? Oh, you only have frys...and they're made of corn. Hmmm. Salt? Here ya go. Lo Salt. Contains no salt whatsoever. |

mmm... brine...
Apparently, our evolution from sea creatures is what makes our blood salty, and why too much salt gives us high blood pressure (makes us drink more, which dilutes the salt saturated blood, hence more of it in a closed system [though I could be making this up, I'm not sure]).
Anyway, go easy on the salt with those chips/fries, ok?
