Now, I know you are all going to state the obvious with this, BUT! I have ALWAYS had a strong feeling that the 27th July will be one of those very important days to remember.

Now it's also my birthday! Lol, so I guess from a psychological perspective you could argue that I would think that anyway.

Weird though.

*gulp* :(

They are not wasting any time are they. And so in your face...My god, the arrogance of it. The blind, blunt arrogance. Shocking :eek:

What a wonderful start on the new job for former Danish prime minister and talking suit Anders Fogh Rasmussen when he steps on the scene august 1st 2009, and hand feeds us the nato version. :mad:
