Collins had travelled to places where "the fabric of the community is tested to the full": Palestine, Kosovo, Colombia, Iraq, Serbia, and Northern Ireland.

I feel like a human being again. Sometimes I enjoy seeing the sun. Feel free to mock me when I start bitching about it in a month or so.
Also, This comparison of the pictures fast food places use to advertise their food, and the real thing is pretty funny.
the pronunciation is determined by culture and education, which is, around here, fairly variable. thus the answer is - both.

I got blue goo pool chemical algestroy in my eye today at work. Now I have a burn on the bottom of my cornea. It's low enough that it isn't going to effect my vision, but it's fucking irritating as hell. Also, I'm an idiot.
I got it in my eye at about 9 this morning. And I decided it would get better on...
