Which privatisation J? Also, what lines are you talking about. You're probably aware of :flamethr... |

Isn't there something like Van der Waals forces which makes standing on a platform dangerous when fast trains are passing through? |

| When Freddie died it was almost like I’d lost a dear friend. I went on a downer for quite some time in fact. I know Michael was rather strange but once again I feel saddened to loose such a talent whom I’ve grown up with. (I’m one day older than he). The same thing is happening too, with radio play... |

| Seriously injured can be influenced by the decisions of the police/ambulance crews at the accident site. Hmmm, and methinks 'therein lies the rub'.
