PRESS

ALB-German Govt: Thanks for joining in the game, hopefully see you around soon.

Con-Par: Only 6 Irish Republicans guillotined? The French are typically more bloodthirsty than that.

English Govt-Con: Stop joking, why would you not raise a win for you here? If you go on much longer, we'll have to open a carpet shop in Clyde. 90% off closing down sale! Is it possible to take all the SC's on the board, Ally?

ALB-English Govt: In answer to the comment & question, what makes you think Turkey is the only country to turn down the offer, there were more than one. The answer to your question, not sure. ;-)

English Govt-German Govt: It seems Mrs. Thatcher has been uttering incorrect Chinese whispers. Pass the tea and crumpets, and the guillotine, there has been a breakdown in communication, so off with her head (and Denis as well, poor man).

English Govt-Par: That is what's known as a "BAMBDS" (Bangers and Mash Back Door Special)

English Govt-Russian & Austrian Govts: "I don't know why, why, I say goodbye, oh no, here we go, I say hello".

ALB: The upgrade is happening now. Not having done this, I do not know if you will be told or me or both. If I hear, I will send an e-mail to you. If you hear, tell me.

The vote on the latest EGP was turned down by more than one country. At the moment I am not announcing another EGP, thinking that we give the moves another year before I mention any send to me.

Spring 1910 deadline: 19:00 BST, 13th June 2002.
