did you see the american polititian who stood in front of the white house and claimed that "gloabal warming may actually be a good thing.  it would certainly make parts of canada and northen europe more inhabitable."

this was when they were questioned about not signing the kyoto agreement.

the inbreeding has obviously gotten out of hand in the US.  i never knew anybody could be so ignorant.  you live and learn.

Or not, if you are in the US....

If we're going to see more of this:



then I think we may see a slight increase in sales of THESE before the next heavy downpour comes along :



I can see the home and contents insurance premiums going up

Agreed. Let's contact "Hunter" in Dumfries and apply to become retail stockists.

Same goes for hearing aids. Lots of young people today combined with obnoxiously-loud music. They'll be in premature need of the little deaf aids once they hit middle age....

they get land very cheaply on these high risk areas thats why!  its the "it will never happen to me" mentality again, we've had two bad floods in a decade in elgin, both featured on the telly and in the national newspapers, the carlisle ones are a facsimilie of that
