    One for Barry... ;)

    This I thought would be of particular interest to Mr. Shnikov.

    Couldn't find an english version, but it basically tells the story of that Romanian guy who took God (known address in Heavens, and represented in Romania by the Orthodox church) to court for fraud, breach of trust, corruption and traffic of influence.


    Curiously enough, he didn't win.

    The court said God had no address

    Sort of is right.

    "the Parquet floor of Timisoara (western)" anybody?

    When I was working in London I came across a recipe featuring avocado pears which had been translated into English by a babel programme that thought 'avocado' translates as 'lawyers'. You know, you had to marinade your lawyers in honey, that type of thing.

    The court must have been speaking ex curia; god (as any fule kno) is everywhere so ought to be able to accept service at any address whatsoever.

    indeed - the judge could have started his sum up with the words "Lord, I know you're listening..."

    Is that like where you hold your nose and wave your foot in the air while making a horrible noise, or is that only sychronised swimming?

    Right then, DTS: time for us to mount a full-scale assault with male voice harmonies. I'll do the bass.


    La la la la la......

    That's done it. You're really in trouble now. This calls for some Welsh folk singing!
