    Crikey, you must have really wanted to get to your destination.
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    Wow. I never knew. That's horrible and came as a partial result of Stalin's alliance with Hitler presumably.

    There was an agreement to divide Poland between Germany and Russia.

    If Hitler hadn't of declared war on Russia in 1941, what sort of Europe would we have now?

    It was an internal flight & a lot of the planes are dodgy..

    If you ever go to Egypt & fly internally it is an experience you will never forget..

    You have to push your way through a good 100 people just to get onto your flight..

    Russia would of still grabbed land perhaps not entered Germany.

    You wait until Margaret Thatcher dies. I remember a rumour of that going around, and I was flabbergasted by the delight of a number of lefties. Dancing on her grave.

    A few wet cabinet ministers as well I guess icon7.gif
