I'm told China is owed a fortune by the US but if they ask for it, then the US will colapse and they will never get paid. Infact, if they stop lending, they will never get paid. Catch 22!
It's in the eye of the beholder. Many of these people are very talented but would never get the chance. The little autistic boy on Wednesday who danced was brilliant. Under normal circumstances he would never get an opportunity and people like me would have no idea what contemporay dance was about.
And of course, you'd be as well euthinising Susan Boyle and Mary Byrne as soon as they turned 30. There is more to entertainment than either your tastes or mine. You'd be as well asking why people join CS...sometimes 4 or 5 times!
I think multi-nationals are the new empire builders. Recently of course Britain, France, Spain, Portugal etc had their own empires. The US seems to have a sort of Covert Empire strategically placed around the world but I think with China and the likes of India in the ascent, we are in for an interesting change. For the first time in history, the world will be run by people who are neither white nor European in origin.
Well, I can honestly say it wouldn't occur to me to send my son to be born to a virgin in the middle east with a life plan designed to have him executed in his early 30s!
Diesel is sold on the world markets as a separate entity from Crude Oil. All the diesel comes out of the same refineries but at varying quality but different companies require different additives and detergents along with an antifreeze. Anyone who drove diesels before the mid 1980s will tell you about having to mix in an amount of petrol to prevent the fuel thickening in cold weather.
Speculators buy up the lower quality, high sulfur diesel on the world markets and sell it through cut price outlets like City Diesel.
Like any other product, Texaco, Maxol or Shell will require a certain level of quality that perhaps Amber or Apple do not. It's like the difference between Birdseye Frozen Veg or Dunns Frozen Veg. All made in the same factories but to different quality levels. So dsl is not just dsl!
And I am talking Mondeo TDCIs here which use the Transit Engine which you quite rightly mention require high quality fuel which brings me back to my original advice which is to avoid cheap diesel!
My experience is that with cheap beer available for all, including the dying,the sick, the infirm, the immigrants and the school children, all these other problems will miraculously disappear! hic

A visit to the panel beaters to repair the bonnet of your car! I've seen your bum!
