Something more reliable than Jaguar might get me interested. Signed: Former workshop manager. Be fair there would be no market for drip trays if it wasn't for British cars ;-) But they did have the original auto anti theft device: Lucas Electronics! Lucas- The Lord of Darkness😳

I also saw the side story about the brown snake. Fortunately, we have no snakes is Seattle. Surely you have lawyers and politicians there Code!

Just a couple of points - notice how even in humor immigrant and illegal migrant are conflated. - I was 'fortunate' in a previous task to have to work in the 'green zone' (the demilitarized UN troops only border zone) in Cyprus and spent a little time at Nicosia Airport which had been shut since the rather violent partition of Cyprus. There are still aircraft at the gates there that were there during the Turkish invasion. You can also see the Kyrenia 'mountains' from there on which the Turks have carved a Turkish flag - just to improve the humor of the Greek Cypriots For interest at the Famagusta end of the Green Zone, in the zone, there was an abandoned Jaguar car dealership that had just received a delivery of new cars all crated up (as they were then). Apparently it included E-Types and XJ6. There were rumors of huge amounts of (bribe) money being offered to 'release' the cars Are you implying that the Greek gentleman (in the immortal words of Senator Hayakawa) stole the mansion "fair and square" under the reciprocal terms of empire?

Can anyone explain this to me? Yes, One of two three options ... 1. A little girl takes her TV ads very seriously. 2. There is a very dangerous psychopathic Democrat wandering the neighborhood. 3. It's a message from Luca Brazzi ... "Barbie sleeps with the fishes" (and the market only had shrimp) Answer #3 will require a national culture mourning period.

That is like a mental visualization like a virtual Rorschach test But it is actually a pun on 'Barbie' It also highlights the fact that both UK and Australia would talk about a 'prawn' whereas the USA talk about a 'shrimp' being thrown.....
