I was even more amused by the English they use, see

What with the Serbian Railways having taken control of 50km section of line in Kosovo:

"Nevertheless, with clear objectives, good prepared actions and plans, I believe that we will achieve desirous results..."

My Albanian(?) and Serbian(?) aren't really up to mocking them for that. The GWR 0-4-0T is one of Hornby's most bizarre choices of model, but then Kosovo isn't where I would have thought to look for an NSB Nohab, either!

Or alternatively Kosovo Railways having taken control of a (x-50) km section of Serbian railways :-)

A model railway - something we desparately need back here!

Is that a curious way of saying theyre hoping to get Desiros as a result .....

Cheers, Simon

No, no - they really did move mail by rail once upon a time!

Oh, I see. I'll get me coat.

Cheers Richard

...... said Mr. Brown. ;-)

President Bush surely, speaking at a pre-Iraq war press briefing...

Apparently Barack Obama is providing a challenge to the impersonators. First, one has to be the right colour and approximately the right build. In addition, he has few mannerisms, apart from waving his hands about, and he doesn't mangle the language.

Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii of a Kenyan father; raised among Muslims, he later became an atheist and then a Christian. He graduated from Columbia University, an Ivy League college in Manhattan, in 1983 and gained a law degree magna cum laude from Harvard in 1991. Unlike Bill Clinton, he was not a Rhodes Scholar.

You can imagine the accent as you read it!

It doesn't say much for the skills of 'Merkan impersonators.

But then he blew it by saying, in a televised debate, that if the Pakistani government could not act to deal with terrorists within it's own borders the US should do so, using military force. Now even Bush hasn't said anything that stupid. WW3 anyone?
