Thanks to the Americans like Mark,Dustin, Evan and a host of others , otherwise, I suppose, its better than beating the "BERA" and sending out messages like your forefathers did.!!

Thank God for small mercies: otherwise we will be denied of being entertained with Twitter postings like his son did about an actress politician.
