We Are All Spaniards

Last week I heard that 70% of the Brits approved of the war. Was this
in error?

I think that was Iraqis.

NPR mentioned today that the Iraqi people have imported over half a million
new cars since the war's end -- the highest amount ever -- and they now face
a gasoline shortage for the first time. And oil exports have now rebounded
to a higher level than before the war, bringing over $1 billion per month
into the Iraqi treasury. .

Their economy is booming.

Of course, NPR mentioned this only in passing, with great reluctance. It
was almost like they were apologizing to their listeners for reporting
something good from Iraq. (They, of course, ended with reports of more
sabotage in the oil fields, just to placate the faithful...)

What is it with transponders? They have to be the least reliable part on
any aircraft I've flown. They don't have lots of moving parts like a
gyro, yet they fail for the fun of it. ATC should just reply by default,
"N12345, not getting your transponder" whenever someone calls up.

I hear you!

That's why I sprang for the solid state Garmin GTX-327. Even LESS moving
parts.

Maybe it'll last a few years. So far it's been awesome. (By the time I've
punched in the fourth number of my squawk code, they are saying "radar
contact"...)

If you and your wife want a cheapish holiday, you can get a cheap
flight to the UK and stay at my place! You're quite welcome. Only
35 mins from London on the train.

I thank you very much. We want to be sure to get there when The Globe is open.

Still, that was one of my "outs". If I lost my job, first thing I'd do
would be to sell the plane.

Yep. I've hung on a year longer than perhaps I should have.

We both noticed one glaring omission.

Well, they did say *famous*, not *infamous*.

less and less.

The local cable company has one month long trials of new channels here. One
month it was the BBC. They got 4 request's to keep the channel. That's out
of a subscribership of 600,000.

IAC, "200 channels and there's nothing on!!" . Good thing for DVD's or our
54" wide-screen TV's would be useless.

Transponder? Or telepathy?

Who is going to invade Austria?

we = Europe

so you claim to speak for Europe?


What other country would Austria help?

well (speaking of Austria), AFAIK the 4 nations that signed the treaty
would
have to (UK, France, US, Russia).

Austria would help the UK, France, US, and Russia? do what?

(I think you might have misunderstood, I wasn't asking who
would help Austria).
