Dan Quayle may be an ardent ROC supporter, but he is also the most idiotic
VP in the history of USA. 

As for Solarz, he may not be a strong ROC supporter but he surely is a
very vocal Taiwan Indep supporter. I can see how he's been unfriendly to
Taiwan at all.

It would depend on which model of the F-16 you're talking.  The F-16A and
F-16B are relatively outdated and probably Taiwan can buy better aircraft
(MiG 29?  Mirage?) if the A/B is what Bush is offering.  However, if Bush
wants to sell F-16C/D (more advanced later model) then mabye they can make a
deal.

I think, also, that this is just a campaign ploy from Bush.  If he can break
his promise of "no new taxes" then he can more easily break his verbal offer
to sell to Taiwan if he is reelected.  How can you trust a guy who gives
Communist China most-favored trading status?

If the shares they were selling were not their own, and their excuse was
that as they had been voted in on the board (by a suspicious voting system)
they could do as they damn well pleased, they should be gaoled (though I've
yet to see the legal system actually punish a major financial crook bar

Still too much, I think, but maybe not if it includes housing benefit,
or some other additional allowance. As far as I am aware, the rate for
an ordinary, common or garden, bog-standard single adult with no
dependents is somewhere in the region of 30-40 pounds. The rent on a one
part share of a house in multiple occupancy in Sheffield could easily
account for the difference though, so if you friend does live in an HMO,
she might just be quoting the sum total of income support and housing
benefit.

     Mrs Thatcher has stirred things up at the Conservative Party Conference
     by writing an article in todays European cristicising both the Maastricht
     treaty and the ERM. She will appear on the platform today but is not
     expected to speak.

     The conference hears a key debate today about the economy including a key
     speech by the Chancellor Norman Lamont which may decide whether he keeps
     his job or not. The speech seen as being not just for the delagates but
     also for the foreign exchange speculators.

     Mr Hurd has acknowledged that the British Government has a hard job
     convincing other counties to accept changes to the Maastricht treaty and
     convincing its own people to accept the treaty.

     British Coal is reported to be about to announce the closure of 30 pits
     with the loss of 25,000 jobs. This would leave 20 pits from some 180 in
     1985.

Actually I totally agree with what you say here: I was using the
term "Government" in much the way I would use the term "Company"
to mean the Board acting on behalf of the shareholders.

In my view the situation is  like (say) BP floating
off a subsidiary: I own shares in BP and expect them to
get a good price when they sell off the sunsidiary. I then
have the right to buy new shares in the subsidiary.

I don't see any difference in this from the "Government"
selling share in (say) BT. But then I guess I am not
a socialist.....

That's not strictly true (may be regional variation, of course), though
it is probably safest to pretend it is until you know the person you're
going to use it to.  Interpretation can also be bent by your tone of
voice in delivering it.

I've certainly heard it applied to women.  It appears to have been so
long in use that people don't really think about the underlying
original meaning.

It's also often used in a 'sympathetic' sense, along lines of 'poor
little beggar'.  As in the conversation I heard between to sweet local
old ladies, talking about a bedraggled and apparently abandoned kitten,
and referring to it, in a totally non-hostile tone, as 'that poor
little sod'.  (A usage I've also heard applied to people.)

However, as I said, in some contexts Dean is absolutely right, and it's
a word you shouldn't go throwing about until you've got some idea how
it will be received by the group or person involved.

I need to make a correction on that Social Security.

After a couple of No Flame disagreements,  I dug up the letter in
reference.  I found that it was not 107 pound,  but  57 pound.

Does this sound much better?

Actually, if she's single and living in the (slightly cheaper) North
of England, then I think 107pounds is quite a bit of money.  She will
also be getting all sorts of other benefits on top of that as well.
Ermmm... tricky question, this, I wonder if she might have ... you

They obviously haven't been looking in the right places. I tried to buy an
English paper at the weekend and in the tabac I went to there was one copy
of the Telegraph, one Guardian and fourteen million copies of the European.
