United Kingdom

Thanks Andrew,
It is not a mnemonic I have come across in the UK.

On site procedures Andrew: I have taken out a month's membership as a trial, and may well let it lapse after that; but do you know if the site sends you a reminder to pay again? Just in case I want to keep it going.
Cheers,
Mark.................

It's an international internet acronym. Nothing to do with where you're from
Bout the subscription, I'm not a paying member, so I don't know.

They have never failed to give me notice Mark.

Thanks Sanshouheil,
And while I am thinking, what does that translate to if not 'no shoe leather'?
Mark..............

Sanshou is the English spelling of a Chinese term that can be loosly translated as "free fighting". I thought I'd explained that already. I suppose you must have missed that post.
Sanshou is now considered a "sport". Basiclly kickboxing with some limited take downs and throws as a part of the scoring procedure.

Ahaaa,
Thank you... I took the first and last sylables to be French and German, with shoe in the middle... so a sort of without/shoe/greeting or salute; a bit like happened to George Bush in that press briefing a few days ago!
I should have asked my asian wife who can speak some Mandarin.
