All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.” because we are smart we must send forth the dumbest of our men to hoodwink the infidels

yes :)

Proximity prolixity
Astute and witty
A family tree
beats any country
And rural beats city

Sorry, I lied. It's five years straight.

Melbourne named world's most liveable city, for fifth year running


rankings 1 to 140.

Here are some of the criteria.

Love Vancouver, but I'd take Montreal over any city in Canada. Great food, bars, & women. Calgary - you must be joking ! I can name at least 10 big US cities I'd rather live in than Tronna. It's the best it's ever been now though.

What a boring list

None make it into the top 10 liveliest

Can one get a "soapy" in Melbourne? With or without the actual soap?

I ask because one can in Vancouver, sans soap. So that would make it more livable for me.

Living in Adelaide 12 C one Day, 40 C the whole of next week! tis Quiet but the Roads are rite Pot holed!

Fly to Melbourne for work, 4 Hour drive to Company Ship in Hired Car, Traffic is Horrendous! esp on a Saturday or Friday night.

You're forgetting about 'indoor sports'.

^ you can only play dutch oven under the doona so many times before it gets a bit tedius and depressed

I have believed that nick cave got his earlier inspiration huddled under his doona , freezing his nads off and producing a bleak melody that resonated with all the other teens rugged up and waiting for winter to pass

As the peasants walked three, five, or ten miles yesterday to try to get to work, the government published the APEC daily menu on the front page of the paper.

Surprised you're online, I'd read in the American media that the entire Philippines internet access was going to be cut off for so called security reasons during the meeting.

^ like thailand

it is one thing for an imbecilic politician to say it

it is quite another to technically achieve it
