Why does Canada need a submarine fleet? So that when the Muslim extremists take control of the Canadian government, they'll be ready to invade the USA... :) |

I'm sorry that one of the crew died, but as I was reading that article I parsed the Captain's name as Luc Picard. :) Man, I need to get a life. Later, Tom |

Personally, I don't know of any british products I would own. I do own many American products that have proven to be safe and of good value. If you wish to conclude that American products are flawed, present an imminent danger, and are not of good value, I suggest you buy british. Come to think of it.... I'll bet you could get one hell of a deal on a Canadian registered, british made, sub lying off the coast of Ireland. -- Quick, look up Gene.....the point of my post just flew over your head. |

NYOB,
How about if you first take out all the liberal wackos in rec.boats? Once you have purged rec.boats you can then bomb Nova Scotia. PS while you are at it, bomb the French Canadians also.

Meanwhile, Smith & Hawken has spectacular spades & forks, made in England, for $50-$60. My ex-wife has the 25 yr old steel versions we bought together, without a speck of rust or a dent in their ash handles. How does this Florian outfit get away with $215.00? :-) I think it's because they're located in Martha Stewart territory. |
