If I had stayed in Bulgaria I would have had to do the service, too and in a way I wish I had. But you don't sound so enthused about it Banii images/smilies/lol.gif

Anyway, here I am, just coming home from a (late) thanksgiving party and needing some sleep.

All I noticed is two girls. Through peripheral vision I'm faintly aware of some sort of greenish blob to the right and something red in the background.... Are you the green thing or the red thing?

I believe the correct word you were looking for was "Dayumn" but since you are Australian, I'll let it slide.

Secondly, Banii, take that as a compliment because abermorn is a seriously good looking individual. images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

LOL, I actually had to look that up since I had no idea what you were talking about.

Ok, here's one where I don't look like a zombie images/smilies/tongue.gif

EDIT: Oh and I agree with No Boss, I think Banii deserves a title for his approval.

OT: The state is actually called Tamil Nadu. Calling it Nadu is like calling South Australia: 'Australia'. Get it right, images/smilies/tongue.gif

EDIT: Tamil Nadu means: 'Land of the Tamils' as I found out.

I was born in Vellore, TN and I still remember a bit of Tamil, so yes I will +1 to this fact. Nadu = land/country/home of

so Tamil Nadu = land of Tamil (the language/people)
