Kim Jong Il, the leader of north korea died of a heart attack on a train on saturday morning. His third son Kim Jong-un is reported to be his successor. The question is now being asked, Will he follow his fathers steps or will he change the way that the army and goverment rules?

State TV have been showing images of the mass mourning, it seems a bit staged though.

...A bit staged you said?

I would like to quote a youtube member.

''I don't see the tears.ï»¿ They cry because they have to.''

It's sad, but it's obviously true... $:-\$

I was just reading that on BBC News - well done to Laura!

I understand she had a lot of problems with the Netherlands social services, who were understandably concerned about a 16 years old girl being on her own sailing around the globe.

A bit of a panic in New Zealand (and all Australasia) among the many Marmite lovers. Due to earthquakes part of the production plant has been damaged, causing production to stop and stocks in shops to run low..
I sincerely sympathise with them..

Plans to build Titanic II...

Ähm, do the world need a Titanic II. I think no, i dont know if i stand alone with my point of view. The Titanic was a historical disaster. We dont need a man, who use the name and the sad Fame of the Titanic to use it for commercial success. We dont need a Chinese Shipyard to create the Titanic II. The Chinese are the Master of the Universe in product spionage and copy. At last the risk is too high, that the chinese Imperium copy the Iceberg and the Titanic II crached in it.

I mean, the historic has one Titanic. That was enough.

Let the Lady and their victims rest in peace.
