Herve, if you’re going to pull out the “Bushisms” then we have to mention this one in honor of bob:

“There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.”

Double-state-score!

Link works much better without the “)” at the end.
Thanks for the clue-in. Obviously I’m not a Harry Potter fan.

nomadic – I believe so, ask Rowling:) (in any case it seems to be an accepted term in British media http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/disapparate)

Shady liquor stores within walking distance, and the King Of Clubs. If you want to know where the party is, it’s at the King Of Clubs (obscure Police Academy reference no one will get).

He’s delusional so, to him, it’s not really there.

DreamT, is “disapparate” a combination of disappear and evaporate?

East Mountain View does sound more apt than Whisman Triangle.

DreamT,
Probably you are talking about East Bay. Anything without “east” on its name does not have such problem. There is no such thing as East Mountain View. It’s a great alternative to East Bay.
