More amusement,,,,IC does not disappoint when it comes to the unending series of inane, stretch of the imagination, synthetically fabricated, and un believable corrolations it puts on this site.....Having said that, I will be on the lookout for the new Danny Cheung CD "Black Velvet Band"

Good comment torbreezy. Reminds me of a tourist trip through the Tower Of London. Many of the articles on display have tags saying, "A Gift to queen Victoria from the people of wherever". Some have tags saying "aquired during the reign of Queen or King whomever". Makes one wonder.

Curious that as journalists you were unable to secure the name of the diplomat and opine whether the "booty" belonged to him personally or to the government he represented and who will be the recipient of the proceeds thereof ? ? ? ?
