4th July Rules!

G'day!

Since the USA is supposed to be on holiday, how about rules for what
the rest of us will do today?

Suggestions to kick off with.

1. Start off with a rousing chorus of God Save the Queen or whatever
National Anthem you prefer as long as it's not Stars and Stripes.
2. All references to Bush and Kerry are banned!! You may however, bore
the pants off everyone else by discussions of your country's politics.
3. All are allowed to bitch about the USA centric nature of MS
products. (Even the MVP password forgets that there are two
hemispheres.)

BTW what is the current rate of tax paid on tea? And do you feel as if
you are adequately represented?

I'm outa here. Fast!

Happy Independence Day USA.

Hi Norman

bit bored are we?
as its bucketting down over here i'ld like to forget that there's two
hemispheres too and have their weather ...
seriously,
my suggestion for today's topics for us from down-under, at least, is "Do we
need an inderpendance day too?" (variation of the monarch vs republic
debate)

Happy 4th July - USA!

Cheers
JulieD

If you're not yet bored enough, how 'bout a nice textual comparison of the
US Constitution, with or without amendments, to the proposed EU one.

FTHOI,

http://www.house.gov/Constitution/Constitution.html

and

http://europa.eu.int/futurum/documen...80604_2_en.pdf

Speaking purely from my own peculiar biases, beware of fundamental laws that
require tables of contents.

Hi Harlan!

I much prefer the USA one. But you can keep the second amendment.

But the British Constitution has stood the test of time; there isn't
one!

Not much to complain about with Excel though apart from those date
issues that come through VBA.

Happy Independence Day to you and yours.

Hi JulieD!

I noted that today's (Summer) temperature in London was lower than our
(Winter) temperature in Sydney.

With dual nationality, I'm (British) pro Monarchy and (Australian)
Republican. It goes with the split personality.

Happy Excel-ing

It's very hard for Brits to ignore the USA especially when Bliar begins all
his speeches with, "My fellow Americans".

Hi, Norm, Is it cold down under?

Can you hum "God save the queen"? In TEXAS, we sing "The eyes of Texas are
upon you".
As for the tax on tea. What is tea? Is that kinda like "Wild Turkey"?

Hi Don!

Remarkably mild Winter here with a high of 23 C today; 73 F in your
money; that's =CONVERT(23,"C","F")

Would expect Texans to drink tea; you weren't a British colony and
hence drink a poor imitation of Single Malt.

And of course the C in temperature really stands for Celsius (I believe many
people think it stands for Centigrade) who was Swedish
Anders Celsius original thermometer had 0 for boiling and 100 for freezing,
I believe Linné (or using the latin version which is used in some countries:
Linnaeus)
ordered the first thermometer that reversed it to 0 freezing and 100 boiling

Yes but look where it gets us, the most secretive 'democratic' society, and
the most introspective, jingoistic to boot.

Nothing to commend itself here as far as I can see.
