^This was always going to be a controversial list. There will always be good reasons to back up the 'wonders' that didn't make the list. E.g the Acropolis. Pity about Timbuktu though - I can understand their disappointment. What I don't understand are those who thought the Sydney Opera House really stood a chance against such competition.

^ Thats it? A Camel!? Please quit while you are ahead LoL. P.S Sarcasm noted.

^ Gordon, I must say, you seem to possess all the neccesary qualities of a future corporate fat cat.

^ Still a humane hour here im afraid. I'm out, got a long day tommorow - shopping, shopping, shopping.

^ LOZ, that's very late. Time for me to take my leave.

^ How about Zanzibar?

^ Mali sounds fab! It's on my list.

10:45 in my neck of the woods, what about yours?

^ Technically a night troller but you will have to make do.

^Yes, I thought so too.

^ There is a similar problem in Australia believe it or not.

Xanthus, you wouldn't call it a true reflection once you read the passage describing Somali women LOL.

Xanthus, did you just call someone else negative? Hmmm

^ You never give people the benefit of the doubt do yah Xanthus. LOL

^ Wonderful! (as always)

^ LOL, The first version, though less believable is much better I think.

^^The story I heard was that Burton was exposed after someone discovered he was not circumcised. Where did you hear that a blind man was responsible? Obviously this would not fit.

^LOL Xanthus, I turn Somali into a puree, for some minced meat is a step up.

NGONGE beat me to it!

^ Don't patronise me. I will gladly accept the trophy for this round my dear. And don't worry this won't change anything, I will still have your back against Jacaylbaro and Hunguri as always.

^Xanthus, exactly when did this conversation turn into a gender war? Please no changing the rules of the game.LOL You asked why I gave the defence, I gave two reasons which were already considered valid in your books. Yes we're female, and yes we both are not fans of America, but who exactly was arguing with whom?

Xanthus, you contradict yourself my dear. He is a Somali national and there are more Blacks in America than in England/UK. Case closed.

^LOL. Dumb question. Edit: Xanthus, leave Faarax be and Wikipedia my dear, Wikipedia.

^LOL, I stand corrected. P.S When will the World Series actually be a world Series?

^LOL, My Faarax in shining armour has come to the rescue. Cheers. P.S Xanthus, If i wanted to support a nation of blacks i would go directly to the source - I would pick one from Africa.
