    Or indeed independence FROM which country?

    I'm off to have a cup of tea.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Speaking of NASCAR, the race was terrible. With the new pavement at Daytona, the way the current cars are aerodynamically designed, and the fact that the bumpers line up front to back at the same height the racing at Dayonta as well as Talladega has been extremely boring as of late.

    As for turning left they actually turned right and left last week.
