That's one of your shortest posts, Blobby. What's happening? Busy at work or slipping standards ??

complete with endorsements from Mrs Palmer and for the young lads, her daughter miss palmer...

I worked with a Yank before on a construction project and at one memorable meeting he insisted we go out and start shagging our suppliers and subcontractors...

...it later transpired that when playing baseball in the park as a lad they needed 3 people, 1 to pitch, one to hit and one to shag...apparently that meant running around chasing after the balls after a successful hit...

Thats the 'Yanks' for you.  Kind of appropriate really. The last real super power, more GM crops than any other country in the world and we are sending them food parcels.

How do you think they will market it?
