bouche Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 I was just browsing some news on CNN and read this report of a fall experience by Prince William. LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Britain's Prince William fell from his horse on Saturday while playing against his brother Prince Harry during a tsunami charity polo match in western England. The 22-year-old prince was unhurt in the fall and quickly remounted to carry on the game at Longdole Polo Club in Birdlip, Gloucestershire, which his team lost 12-7. Britain suffered 84 confirmed deaths in the December 26 tsunamis in the Indian ocean, which were triggered by a major earthquake off the coast of Indonesia's Sumatra. (Special report) A further 105 people are classified as "highly likely to be involved," meaning they are thought by friends and relatives to have been in the affected areas when the waves hit but have not be seen or heard from since. The British numbers were dwarfed by a regional toll of around 300,000 people dead or missing, mostly in Indonesia's Aceh province but also in India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Maldives and east Africa.

In fact, this reminds me to call up our local paper and see if they'd like to report how I thought I lost my keys yesterday! (Luckily I found them a minute later.) Where is that phone number for that reporter? People are gonna want to know about this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneMtn Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Don't be ridiculous. Superman can't break his neck. You are talking about the "man of steel" here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 You'd think this type of news would make headlines here in England, but sadly we're too busy freaking out over the Micheal Jackson trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paisley Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Scud Missile Launcher for sale on Ebay I believe this is the biggest Petrol Twin V8 14ltr SUV you will find, and will easily make Humvee's look like tiny dinky toys. With reduction hubs on all axles there is also incredible ground clearance. Ideal for keeping the rain off your Land Rover or Jeeps.

bouche Posted March 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 I just found that the news item aboot the fall basically was 2 sentances. Then, it was an entire news story about the Tsunami. How in the hell can someone sell a rocket launching truck on Ebay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisley Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 How in the hell can someone sell a rocket launching truck on Ebay? you say its even better than a Humvee causing any red blooded American to drool whilst forgetting all about terror alerts and security... then put the part about how the purchaser must pay for shipping costs (about $10,000 US) in small print simple.
