Purple dots = centres of education (excluding schools) Green dots = hospitals Edited October 17, 2013 by The_Rev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) Watch Switzerland, for the last half a millennia they have remained unchanged and untouched, while everything is changing around them. How have those pesky neutrals managed to do it. you really dont like the Swiss do you I admire the country in many ways, its ability to avoid wars, the fact that they took in so many refugees from around the world in the 90s, the fact that their economy is so strong and their country is so clean. There are many things to be admired about Switzerland the actual country. It's the damn football team I don't like, they have been getting an easy ride for too long, and the Swiss Blatter is loving it.

VillaAsh Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 My name is Ashley (the male version), my girlfriend is called Jessica and my Mum is Lisa. We were all born when our names were dominant too. Bloody American influence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted October 21, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted October 21, 2013 My name is Ashley (the male version) Mate, there isn't a male version... It was a male name long, LONG before it was a female name. Incidentally, did you know that the (male) author Evelyn Waugh's first wife was also called Evelyn?

The versions I used to watch on TV always showed him with golden hair. I'm surprised you read/watch Chinese literature (even if it's a translation).

chrisp65 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 It was a fantastically poorly overdubbed Chinese import with special effects that made 1970’s Dr Who look slick, but it was quite the craze in my school. They put it on the early TV slot so you’d run home from school, jammie dodger, squash, watch Monkey then all out to batter the living daylights out of each other re enacting the fight scenes. This has now morphed into slo mo fight scenes in the kitchen with my kids where they know that if I shout (in a stereotype Chinese voice) ‘ahhhhh, monkaaaaay’, they need to be on their slo mo fight game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
