Is Bulgaria in a timewarp or something.

CIA site
eek busted the 10 ten is from 18/06/99..the web-site hadnt been updated...sorry
Yer right James ye boy ye, ye have too much free time at work.
Ye wouldn't find out top ten Bulgarian women if there is such a thing.
Bulgarian Brides?
why? looking to snag a bride on your trip over there?
I'm sure James could give you some trips (on what not to do) after scouring Poland, Lithuania & Latvia
Hmmm... you'd want to watch out - some of my friends from school went skiing over there (skiing is a bit like triiodochloromethane - sorry just a sad joke from Chemistry class!) anyway when they were out on the **** one of them thought he'd scored with a Bulgarian bird, though it turned out that she was looking for money in exchange!

where the fcuk is Lovech
If you check that CIA site properly you will find no evidence whatsoever that I have a history of skiing with BULGARIAN women while adding to my impressive Liteks Lovech programme collection.
BTW, you should see some of the babes using the internet facilities here...must see if I can exchange anything with them or even enquire if the are looking for money, in which case I'll call in JC for advice. Oh, balderdash: here comes my wife with her hair in a bun...
