@ max: you're french so you are ought to spell it right, you have the accent on your keyboard; "à la" and not "a la". It's like english people spelling "where" instead of "were". (à= to/at ; a= to have)


@FT: à la... = to the/ at the literally.
mode = style/fashion/mode
when you say "à la mode" it's an expression that means "on fashion"/"fashionnable", mostly used for clothing. If you say "à la mode"+a place name it just means the way it's done there, it doesn't mean the way the fashion is in a particular city/country or whatever. The expression in that sense is mostly used for culinary products.

Methinks some food stocks might be missing if Serbia comes along (namely the yeast for bread and large quantities of raw sugar).

I AM coming along, so you best get used to it. And it's not my fault if your stock keeper can't watch his wares.

I'm sure my civil engineering skills would be useful for setting up a colony on Mars! Plus, two weeks ago I hiked 17 miles to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back to the rim, so I'm in shape and have survived in a Mars-like environment ;)

Can we make a new topic that focuses on sending people to Thailand to fight child boxers? I nominate AOG as the first to go.

Ooops, sorry was away for work late last week and I always forget about this highly important thread over the weekend.

Congrats to Timminz, progressing to the next round.

Next up ManB vs Megaprophet!

Congratualtions Maxfaraday!!

New (and likely last) poll up; I have thrown myself in the mix as we were left with an uneven amount of volunteers.

Rishaed vs. Meeself.

It would be nice if we could get two more volunteers as it would make the compitition nice and easy :)
