Always loved the ZIL, and its smaller relative the Chaika.

Northern Ireland can't be "given back" because it has never belonged to the Republic of Ireland. If at some point in the future a union between the two is negotiated, then that's a different matter.

I'm very glad you've brought some facts into the discussion, and I agree that that the snide tone of this story is inappropriate. I get the feeling that the author Doug Barry is still relatively young and knew little if anything about the Falklands until just before writing the article.

It depends on the nature of the group's power-structure.

To be honest I felt afterwards that I was a bit snarky - but the post was a clinically perfect attempt to discredit the story, employing every rhetorical device.

It does not surprise me in the least that this is your only post.

Those were the names of my goldfish in 1978.

For some reason a guy here in Belfast, Northern Ireland started importing new Mexican Beetles for a while back in 1991. My widowed, wheelchair-bound and definitely not wealthy old mum asked me (then 19) if I wanted one. Not wanting her to spend the money, I said no.

The Rolls Royce umbrella in the door.

Cheers. Now I feel like I belong to the human-race again.

Who is this guy? What is MegaUpload? Why does everybody except me understand everything that's going on in the world?

This one's for sale near me at the moment for roughly the same price. You'll have to drive it home from Castlewellan, but you know where that is - right?

A company from Argentina claims they're going to start building an updated version - at a factory in Uruguay if I remember correctly.

It's the Olds Cutlass, back from the dead to eat Camry brains.

True - thanks for taking the time to explain.

Pretty damn fun, thanks - a fact which stands very much beside the point.

You've provided a cogent and reasoned explanation, thank-you. The funny thing is, I actually am a guy - visiting from Jalopnik.

I didn't intimate that you were making such a suggestion.

So would "fuck/marry/rape" be ok then? There isn't actually a literal rape...

I get the difference alright, but I would disagree that it in no way trivialises the seriousness of murder.
