Since Brevity is the Soul of Wit, then: HBC!:)

Hello Portugal! You're English is fine; my Portuguese is non-existent!:laugh3: Enjoy the site to the fullest extent possible.;)

Spongebob needs a promotion to major general!:P

Hello little miss Carla! How nice to see you!!:P Did you get some nice berries from the woods? How did the homework session go?;)

But you might be able to book U2 - Bono said at the end of their sound-check: "Weddings, funerals, Bah mitzvahs. U2"; so maybe they're available, and even if Coldplay isn't, they've got some nice tunes too!;)

It's natural mind melding, that's all!;) Same effect if you see a movie, and really get into it. But it goes away, generally speaking, unless you're immersed in the culture. RandomColdplay Thought: Would they have been better with a name like Starfish?:laugh3:

And where would tabloid journalbalism be without garbage like this to make a fuzz over?:laugh3:

Perhaps if they were passing through, they might consider it? :) Funny, how if you had wanted to book them in let's say 1998, and you offered plane tickets, they would have jumped at the chance!:laugh3: Obviously, you just need to set the Heart of Gold to 1998, Earth, and all will happen as planned! (except nobody would know that they're famous and all that, except you.)

TNP is the next poster.:jester:

:rolleyes::laugh3: It's 10 below here, and that's a lovely -24C in metrics, so I'll gladly trade! Singapore, here we come!!;)

Carla's gone berry picking, and will be back with a full basket shortly..:P

GLEETINGS & ENJOY THE BROAD ARRAY OF FINE SELECTED DATA BITS AVAILABLE FROM IAN & JEN's SERVER!!:P (and be careful with the silverware - they're missing a few demitasse spoons.)

:wideeyed:Did someone say cocoa-nuts?:P Yes, I do like coconuts! TNP likes pizza with olives!

tHANKS FOR pOSTING tHAT!:laugh3: I hadn't a clue there was even a Charlotte Michigan - and now I know there is one!!

u2 BETTER GET THEIR BOOTS ON!:P

Welcome to the coolest board in the World!:cool: Stay and enjoy the comradre as we conquer the globe!!

Grand Rapids is to the south. (West Central Michigan). My best guess is this is near Gaylord, Michigan (many ski hills & valleys). Though it's about the same as here - the U.P. is roughly the same, and the same parallel runs strait across the lake (45th). Ian, where's the "music" to the riot? The least you could do is play some Beastie Boys with the Manchester riots!!:laugh3: At first glance, it looks like the place is on fire! Just the lighting, I guess..;)
