------------- I hate how peopleï compare Frank Zappa to God. I mean, he's cool and great and nice and everything, but he's no Zappa. |

Surveys were being done up my way earlier this summer. Now if only the idlers on local council would send a couple of men with shovels to clear the ditches along the Avenida dos Descobrimentos of rocks, mud and plastic bottles, the rainwater would go down the drains and not down the roads into town, the risk of flooding would be reduced and at far lesser cost.  PS that link above doesn't go anywhere.

“PS that link above doesn't go anywhere.“ Indeed it doesn’t, just go to ThePortugalNews website, google is easy, and the article is there. ------------- Andrew |
