Ugh.  Sounds like the real estate sections in the newspapers over here.  They go on and on about the latest new development of McMansions, that can be had for the bargain price of $800k.  Or they might be cheaper but be in the middle of nowhere hours from where everybody works.

Let me take the opportunity to have my say on the Dutch traffice department. They are, after 40 years of mismanagement finally finding out that making it more difficult for people commuting by car to get from one end of any street to the other doesn't help anyone. Now they are trying to create ways to make traffic flow, by using new technology, but still wondering why people still prefer cars over public transportation. Why can't these  see that if I have to travel 15 km, which takes 20-30 minutes including traffic jams by car - spending 75-90 minutes on a bus that passes 5 million places I don't want, nor need to pass is no serious alternative. What's in their heads, and why do I pay 100% more per km I travel than the 3  that do take the snail called bus???? 

Wow - that felt good.

Yes, that and the fact Cary Grant is deceased now.

What is that word supposed to be, young Angel-?

I don't think Arnie has a skull...

You mean like...

Patrick Swayzee instead of Patrick Swayze
Christina Aggyliggyliggy instead of Christina Aguilera
Idiot instead of Sylvester Stallone
Bigger Idiot instead of Mel Gibson (well, he's Australian, but he might as well be American)
Jim Carry instead of Jim Carrey (because it's pronounced Carry, bot Carey!)
Carry Grant instead of Carey Grant (actually an Englishman!)
Arnold Blackwhatever instead of Arnold Schwarzenegger

BIG BROTHER...???
