You are driving me to eat! Wow! Happy Australia day!

Point is, as far as I know, he taught himself to machine.

I grew up knowing a lot of tongues, knowing the English language and others. Yes, I am from a UK based family. What I find intriguing is the many derivations on words and sayings. I don't need an interpreter to understand Liverpool, Welch, Manchester, London, Scottish, Irish, Southern US or...

Glee Maith!

Many towards the city say I live on longgyeland. I say Long Island.

Terrific work!

Must have been a typo, gosh what a few digits can do?

While searching the internet I stumbled upon a set of steam engines that I think are amazing. I like the design. Also, the individual .....well take a look for yourself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncFzFXUOcxk

Innovative design! I think Dave and Baron out to patent the idea!

Thanks Norman! See the post by Deverett? It makes more sense.

Dev, See how it will work given this photo?
