Is that not the Hand of Nod you're thinking of?

Nah, peace through power aint it? :-|

Lib-ee-aa? Yes.

Is that the Chinese way of saying Arabia?

 

</racism>

 

Doesn't everyone pronounce Libya the way Steve laid out rather than to rhyme with Bush's 'Dubya' moniker?

I don't think I've ever heard anyone pronounce it otherwise, but then I don't watch much American telly.

Yeah, the Americans probably have their own inimitable way of saying it - does anyone know any Libyans? Maybe we should take their lead on pronoucing it.

I've only ever heard is said like Steve posted. But I stopped watching the news a long time ago.

The news is about the only thing I watch on TV nowadays. :-Y

 

Oh and the odd bit of corrie should the wife be wanting to watch it on catch up. That's a terrible programme. Do you ever get subjugated to the British soaps over there? If you do, I really am sorry. :-[

How could one be subjugated to a soap?

If one is anything like my wife, she's submissive, almost enslaved, if you will, to the whims, trials and tribulations of the good people of <wherever Coronation Street's set>.

Weatherfield!

Granada Studios :$

I went there on a school trip once. It was very boring (cheer)

Was there a waxwork of Bill Roache?

No British Soaps but the wife does watch "Days of our Lives". I've noticed that you can skip years and still know what's going on with that show. What rubbish!

I remember something similar happening with the Cosby show - the story lines stayed the same, the only way you could distinguish between the series was the age of the child actors.

Yes, well, one friend studied there and one grew up there (both British) and they say it that way.
