As with a lot of stuff in the good book, everything in that report has now turned out to be false

Actually, here at least, those with a Masters don't receive an MA, its redundant.

Yes

Posted from 84.92.211.193

An MA is, officially, the highest ranked kind of Masters. You may hear about Liechtenstein, but take care to observe the flag!

R

Posted from 79.66.184.144

I expect we shall be hearing about Liechtenstein in the near future

R

Posted from 79.66.184.144

You still haven't explained this 'best qualified' stuff. I can only assume you think an MA out does an MPhys...

PS

That first bit was a lie. I don't know why I lied. Sorry.

How bizarre

I just booked a flight to Malaysia too. And I am the best qualified of all of us, as of Saturday. AND my first bag of the year will be secured tomorrow: watch this space!

And I've been to Malaysia before! What am I thinking?

M, does A still owe you £5.50 as the bets page says?

I have no problem with CB recognising Kosovo, after it has been recognised by some major countries. We don't recognise other places with UDIs that haven't been internationally recognised. Obviously Kosovo will be.

Matthew

Posted from 124.76.7.117

Its quite amusing if you look at the countries saying they won't recognise Kosovo: they are basically using Richard's argument, and they are all the countries with secessionist movements: Spain, Sri Lanka etc.

R

Posted from 79.66.184.144

It sets a poor precendence for CB to recognise a country based only on a UDI.

That flags breaks all the rules of good flags: Too many stars, map...

Matthew

Posted from 124.76.7.117

I dunno, the black/white/red one looked a bit Nazi-ish to me.

Matthew

Posted from 124.76.7.117

The CB page has stolen a march on the international community by recognising Kosovo!

flags

Posted from 84.92.211.193

I prefer the black, white and red one with a spiral. The one they've chosen looks like it was designed by school children.

You know how it is

Posted from 84.92.211.193

You'll be happily sitting in a restaurant in laos eating rat fried rice and you'll think "I really want to go to Liechtenstein now." Two days later you'll be there.

Matthew

BTW, the lack of information about my "big SE Asian trip" is not due to a conspiracy, I just havent really planned it in detail!

I am almost certainly not going to Liechenstein however.

R

Posted from 79.66.184.144

and aren't they expressly forbideen from having a similar flag to Albania?

Damn it, we were right there...

Go Kosovo

Posted from 84.92.211.193

But they all seem to be waving Albanian flags - do they not have their own?

I feel suitably chastised, I bow to your superior grasp of the ordering and selection of letters. Frankly I'm amazed anyone understands a word I write.

someone

Posted from 84.92.211.193

who writes a certain word several times in a sentence should probably know how to spell it (sorry, can't help it!)

Eventually it syncs up, but often seperate posts do not agree on their seperations in england and china. For example if you post after a message that says '16 min ago', there is often a gap of 1hr 16min in china

is the clock wrong?

Posted from 84.92.211.193

how can I tell if it says 'just now'?

how wrong is the clock?

Matthew

If I intended it to look Stalinist I would reverse all the Rs

R

Posted from 79.74.147.219

Incidentally the TOC clock is still wrong

R

Posted from 79.74.147.219

Its great. So long as you are trying to sap the spirit of a subjugated people.

I for one am relieved it does not look like it is designed by a technology wizard. Wizardy sites are very irritating.
( I am sure M is enjoying this debate so better desist!)

it's ok

Posted from 84.92.211.193

But to me, it doesn't look like it was designed by a technology wizard...

I hope your big trip is going to be big. I'm going on holiday soon...

Could there be a fault on your computer R? There is a not a hint of green here

R

Posted from 79.74.147.219

It looks Stalinist.

M & D

Posted from 81.152.242.252

We think it's a great improvement on previous prototype

R

Posted from 79.74.147.219

argh, its awful. Wizard? Its still too green.

Stupid google, removed all my geotags when i re-synced my photos. hmph.

Also, most excessive use of quotations ever:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7228387.stm

Commons leader Harriet Harman says Mr Davis should "apologise" to Mr Brown.

Maybe that sentence could have gone ahead without trying to distance themselves from the word 'apologise'

R

Posted from 129.67.94.158

I have productively spent a whole day geotagging my photos. The RHBN tour looks nice.

Opera in Italian with Chinese subtitles... a little confusing.

"I think so"
"So why is she singing?"

Testing out a new version of my homepage! As I said to Richard, comments other than "it's too green" and "I hate it" are appreciated.
