    Meh, every time they strike a peace deal with one of these Muslim groups they always have a bunch split off and form another that still wants to fight. It will never end. Sometimes peace is not the solution. They need a stronger military presence down in Mindanao.

    I think it should stay as is and let drivers make a bit more. At the snail pace of change here by the time it is lowered gas prices will be up again. I always pay 10-20 depending on how far and good driver. Why is it so little to go to town but alot to go out from town back home? Always a negotiation to go home. Walking has become a nice hobby.

    Gore pictures will not be posted in this forum, this is rubbernecking in its worst form. If Team HUKAD wants to lower themselves to being a gore page then that's on them. Respect for the deceased will be shown here. This man could be a father, husband or brother to someone. I wouldn't want pictures of my loved one's dead body posted all over the internet and I certainly wouldn't want my kids (if I had any) to see pictures of my lifeless body laid out on the highway. I will let the post and link stand in case people want information on the wreck but I am editing out the picture.

    That being said, appears that the man was not wearing a helmet. It is quite possible that his life could have been saved if he had been wearing one. Use your head people. Helmets save lives. I'm not one having the government force people to be safe, if someone isn't smart enough to take care of their own body then we should let Darwinism do its thing. Best wishes to this man's family. It's a shame that his death could have been prevented.

    EU Commission directive :English as the language of the EU rather tha German

    The European Commission

    The European Commission has announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the EU, rather than German, which was the other contender. Her Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling had room for improvement and has therefore accepted a five-year phasing in of "Euro-English".
    In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make sivil servants jump for joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of the "k", Which should klear up some konfusion and allow one key less on keyboards.
    There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f", making words like "fotograf" 20% shorter.
    In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent "e" is disgrasful.
    By the fourth yer, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".
    During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters. After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis and everivun vil find it ezi to understand ech ozer. ZE DREM VIL FINALI COM TRU!







    ...and ve al be speking german:D

    A little man in a field of Giants
    Rob Burrows was 5'5" a Scrum half for Leeds Rhinos UK.
    Against all odds he made his presence both on the field and off, known to thousands.
    At such a young age he fell foul to Motor Neurone Disease and died 8 days ago after a tremendous battle against the disease. Rob was 41 years old.
    The love and care of his family and close friends is to be admired.

    "In a world full of adversity, we must dare to dream"......Rob Burrow
    RIP

    My son was at Chikahan with the owner's son a couple weeks ago looking at the reconstruction. The restaurant outside area will be entirely enclosed to accommodate the weather. Hopefully, work will be completed soon. IMO, Chikahan is the best restaurant south of Dumaguete.
