Happy Fourth Of July!

Do you know, it very nearly is.

BP ownership

You are correct as far as stock ownership. But, the stock holders (mostly large pension funds in UK and USA) do not do the drilling.

Have fun,

We also celebrate 4th July - Independence Day- everything that the US does isn't our problem any more .

So we should! The good citizens of the USA have been pulling us out of the poo for most of the 20th century!

Apparently, the Swiss do the drilling, though the company was founded in the US.

Who Fawkes?

I think AJ Fox meant Guy Fawkes Day, celebrated in England...

Golly, let's leave-off the hateful oil-spill topic for the time?

Other countries are not expected to observe US-Americas Independence Day, however their were times when we stepped in to preserve other nations existence...party with US!

When I was in High School (1956-1959) I looked forward eagerly to Sadie Hawkins dances. I was in Germany at the time (my dad was Air Force) and we got all dressed up in costumes depicting characters from Li'l Abner. My favorite was Fearless Fosdick.

Happy Fourth to everyone also - my birthday (68) is today - the 5th.

I remember when I was younger we would go up on a trip to see the rest of the family in Illinois and we would always celebrate my Birthday late. Not becouse we got there late, but becouse my birthday, June 30th, was only 4 days away from Independence day! So I would have my party then. Fireworks, AND presents!


PS: Speaking of birthdays, hurray for now being 16.
