So, how was 2011 for you personally? for me First year in 5 that no major catastrophe befell my family Work got busier and hence better Ireland didn't undergo total and utter collapse as it could have, on the other hand things are grim as F here Popular music is at sub-1989 levels of...

It seems to me that nothing at all suggests it is liable to dissapear any time soon. Of course there is no telling the future, and Apartheid SA, the Shah and Mubarak all vanished with little warning, but does anyone seriously expect the DPRK to collapse any time soon? It seems pretty stable to me.

LQ2gMcFx3No This one brings a lump to my throat and even a bit of a tear to me eye. Watch the video, it's short but very well read by Lawrence Olivier. Can you beat that for sadness?

I never used to be sick but now I'm always gettin colds and things. Do you reckon it's because I live with three people who spend the day in rooms fulla kids? Anyone else get this?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-15317684 ...and almost no one notices!!! The DRC war was one that I would have welcomed intervention by almost anyone in. What do you think? Thread title changed to be less misleading.

Can anyone point me in the direction of some maps which show the ethnic composition of countries from (roughly) the 1860s? Beyond what shows up immediately from a quick search, obviously.
