A Naval story. Our local library recently handed us this copy of a radio conversation: This is the actual radio conversation of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995. Radio conversation released by the chief of naval operations, 10-10-95 CANADIANS: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.

Kilgraney to corner old shoe market! The last thing I would want to do is laugh at people trying to speak or write a foreign language - especially as the British are particularly lazy and arrogant in this department. Their version of communicating with someone from another country normally extends to speaking louder, and shaking their heads with incredulity when stupid Johny Foreigner looks bemused.

Horse s**t or what? 1) Do you know any anagrams for 'Kilgraney's well-rotted horse manure' ? 2) do you even know what an anagram is ? 3) do you even care ? (Anagram = Juggling all the letters around in a phrase to make a completely new one that still vaguely makes sense) We stumbled on a curious site - www.anagrammy.com - that

Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting. Well for example, the other day I went into town and went to a small shop on the High street. I was only in there for about 5 minutes. When I came out, there was a policeman writing out a parking ticket. I went up to him and said, "Come on buddy, how about giving a senior citizen a break?"

Telegraph poles in literature Gunter Grass Nobel prize for Literature 1999 The truth: " it would be fanciful to suggest that Kilgraney's telegraph poles were the inspiration for 'The Tin Drum' or that we were directly contacted by the author" " it would be wrong to suggest that Kilgraney was singlehandedly responsible for Gunter Grass being awarded the Nobel prize for literature"
