Stay inside, even if you are not at the point of destiny Some quite strong storm is over Holland (and probably other countries, I heard UK for example) 4 people killed in UK results: wind blows at top speeds of 129 km/h Copy the links to your adress bar: www.nu.nl/img.db/949255+s(350!x233!) tree crushed 2 cars www.nu.nl/img.db/949522+s(350!x184!) truck blown of the road... some bus drove down a dike and crashed into a tree some oil tanker crashed into an oil pipe... releasing loads of oil

Yeah, it's rather windy and rainy here in the UK as well. Not really a storm on the scale of some other countries, but it's still rather bad.

Some people already died because of the storm, trains aren't driving anymore, schools are being evacuated, several buildings are seriously damaged, people in Holland: Stay inside, for your own sake

Someone had died from a fallen tree. But the tree was booked to be felled in October, but the strong gusts took care of that more than 3 months later and unfortunatly it killed a driver.

Well Big brother star Jade Goody has disgraced the UK with foul mouthed antics. She was being racist and prejudice against a particular member of the house who was from Indian Origin. She has now been voted out the house ad her career is now over. I don't watch this crap but it is all over the newspapers.
Also to do with high winds, some people are still out of power due to the fallen trees. Also another person has dided due to the high winds.

They even said, there were street-protests from people in India because of this. Interesting how 2 people can almost cause national hate between 2 countries.

Interesting how 2 people can almost cause national hate between 2 countries. and sad too.. About news from my country, in a little city near where I live, some days ago a car didn't follow the bend of the street and entered in the living-room of a house... Luckily no one has been hurt, only slightly the driver, but he had a very solid car...also because he broke through the wall!!

Well Jade is quite foul mouthed so it seems that for someone like her to cuase somthing like this is quite easy. Now, not only we have our own problems like masses of chavs on benifits, illegal immigrants, the muslim community sending hate filled abuse at the white and black folk we have Jade adding the cherry to the top of our popularity. Perkele! Ship me off to another country...

What caught my eye on bbc world was this article. news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6520767.stmThe famous car KITT ( Knight Industries Two Thousand) from the tv-series Knightrider is being sold. Apparently all the lights and such still work The car is a Pontiac Trans-AM... Thinking... i'm still looking to buy a car think this one is a bit out of range

i doubt that there are many portugueses interested. especially, because once (many eons ago) 1 of the cars was exposed in my city and was having troubles of going up a small ramp.

www.smh.com.au/news/music/welcome-to-the-jungle/2007/04/04/1175366326496.htmlGuns n' Roses is coming to Australia! And their support is Sebastian Baaaach! And they're releasing 'Chinese Democracy' later in the year! Now how much of that do I actually believe? The boys might arrive in Australia, but Axl Rose is notorious for cancelling gigs at the last minute. 'Chinese Democracy' has been on the release horizon for the last ten years. I *love* Gunners, I still listen to them (just last night in my car, for example). But I think I need a time machine back to 1991 to see them the way I see them in my dreams. Maybe I'll go just for Sebastian Bach, who I missed when he was out late last year. At least he can still sing (and is still HAWT!!).

And that is a big news now, at least seen from this spot of Finland: Oulun Kärpät won the ice hockey championship yesterday and nothing seems to be normal anymore when entering the centre of this city. There was a celebration in Teatria yesterday evening, the video on the Kaleva site about that gets quite funny towards the end imo ;D: kiekko.kaleva.fi/index.cfm?m=video&LOGGEDtunniste=0 (choose Mestaruusjuhlaa Club Teatrialla)
