All "b": Not bad. You still think you might know a thing or two, but nothing a good old-fashioned memory erasing session won't sort out.
All "a": Well, you obviously know far too much about geo-politics for your own good, and will therefore be eliminated without delay. (You are the weakest link, goodbye...)

Jekk hawn min bħali wieġeb il-mistoqsijiet kollha "a" u għandu bżonn jistaħba, ejjew sal-Qrendi... hawnhekk hawn ħofra wiesgħa u tonda mimlija siġar fejn żgur ma jsibuniex. Biss ġib xi ħobża jew xi panina. Jien nieħu ħsieb il-karawett.

Hi there. Was wondering whether you bothered watching Jim Carreys latest film : Fun with Dick and Jane? It is the usual Jim stupid but I was pleasantly surprised by the Enron/Fahrenheit 9-11 spoofs. Thought you might want to know that it is a good way to fill the evening in jolly anti-american fashion. Also, i think it manages in a way to shoot down a lot of the American Dream Myth. Wonderful... and it's Jim Carrey

No, but I saw "Fun With Dick and Cheney"... it's the usual Dick stupid, with a spoof of Rambo/Lethal Weapon/The Texas Vice President Massacre thrown in for good measure.
Rated R for gratuitious violence and shitty markmanship.
Actually you can check out the trailer over here

shocking how Gary Glitter is at number one of your poll ... I guess he's a true libertarian huh?

I'm more shocked that no one's voted for Glenn Hoddle so far. I mean, he's the obvious choice...
