Asylum from an extradition hearing?  :wacko:

The funny thing was, I was listening to BBC, and their reporting saying "this took everyone by surprise, completely unpredictable!".  I would have thought that if he had the chance to bugger somewhere for asylum, that would be one of the most predictable things on the planet.

If you think you might lose, why not?

:yeah:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

lol. you'd probably be a good online teacher. you're cranky enough to be fun. this is the 5th one i've taken and the only one i really can't stand. The others courses had annoying aspects (all do) but i had no complaints about the teacehrs. this guy, i just can't absorb anything he's saying.

I've never stood paid online classes. Sounds dreadful - I think I'd skip them all. :blush:
