I just joined "Pick This Place" Forum recently and it occurred to me maybe we should start another guessing game and call it "Who is This". We could post photos of famous people and you have to guess who they are. If we can get enough starters I will e-mail the Webmaster with a req...

The Great Game.

I watched the Aussies play Paraguay on Friday morning.I saw Paraguayan players rolling around on the pitch clutching their leg, writhing in absolute agony, after they had tripped over their own feet in a tackle.

This brilliant idea comes when we are up to our eyeballs in debt, and is a tribute to someone who started the spiral.

The original budget for the project was $2 billion. The latest estimate is $42 billion. I think the govt should stop it, cut its losses and use it for studies in incompetence.
