| #9 I have a really limited contralto range, Tony (UK). If I were to try that booming thingy, it would quite ruin the effect. Can I borrow yours instead? Mwaahahahaaahhaah! (in a deep booming voice). /There -- much better. Thanks ever so! |

| #8 TW, I think your comment needed to finish off with a Mwaahahahaaahhaah! (in a deep booming voice). But that's just me ;) |

| #7 "Assad probably wouldn't be welcome in Saudi Arabia" You know you're bad when they'll take Idi Amin but they won't take you. |

| #4 President Assad certainly couldn't go to Paris, as so many have done before. Mr Chiraq is still annoyed about the murder of his Lebanese friends, which of course eliminates Lebanon, too. As an Alawite Assad probably wouldn't be welcome in Saudi Arabia beyond the Haj, Mubarek of Egypt loathes him... maybe Somalia? It's so much more difficult being an evil, totalitarian dictator than it used to be, darn it! ;-) |
