    I'm reasonably peaceful, Really. No urge to hit you with a tea tray or anything else, Really. :) Except where my landlord is concerned. Who I could seriously injure severely with my bare hands, right now. But that's another story.
  • I think its a very clever move... they know that obama is the face/ personality to take the world forward! and has made significant steps to increase the once severed ties with countries like CUBA... i think its very realistic as it will enstill confidence in the president meaning more pressure is put on him to live upto this prestigious award!

    I thought you left the door open for a bit of banter. :) (not with your landlord obviously)

    Imagine the reaction if a landlord said they had the urge to 'te tray' a tenant. Double-standards as usual. ;)

    Is that why you double-posted it?

    I think the Obama Presidency is turning more and more into the West Wing series all the time, didn't president Bartlett have a Nobel price in economics?
    I run an event management company, I put on events, I go to events, if I don't know anything about events - its not worth knowing!

    Nobel prize has lost its charm.

    Do you think it's become the Carling Cup or Europa League of the awards world?
