PP Man, Britain sux, deal with it.

If the trains ran - we would be able to find out where they went! But with the government coming up with a massive subsiby I'm sure we will all get to find out because taxes will go up to pay for President Blair's loony spending and none of us will be able to afford to run cars any more

Excellent!

Whilst we're all debating the pros and cons of where we live, spare a thought for the inhabitants of those countries where free speech is outlawed.

Ok thoughts spared everyone? Back to the comments.

Get real MM. As the 51st state we in the UK are always being affected by US policy. For example the lack of US tourists is hitting my area, Yorkshire, hard.

Most Americans might not give a stuff about most things outside their borders but American policy does affect huge numbers of people whether they like it or not. Just because you're oblivious to the fact that you might be rubbing people up the wrong way doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

Having said that, Utopia doesn't exist and never will and it'd be soooooo boring if we all agreed.

Pity they couldn't find the cash last year...

They did, didn't they?

That's how Railtrack are funded.

1) Get Government hand out.
2) Neglect actually running the rail system and piss off passengers.
3) Ask Government for more money.
4) Ludicrously, Get money.
5) Repeat.

The trains all go to London. All of them, even if you aren't.

Todd is going to so wish you didn't say that. If he can't have a go at you, he's bound to turns his eyes towards Canada.

Give the Brits a break. They were once a world power. Now they are a colony of Europe.

Doh, and I thought we were an American colony these days!

Literotica cricket match...

I suppose our cricket can be likened to Liverpool FC. Always the promise but never the result!

Can we get a definition of the terms, "promise" and "result" please? Crikey, I must say I don't understand this whole cricket phenomena.

A 'promise' is when you're on a prayer.

And a 'result' is when you're prayer is answered...

LMAO!

Seemed efficient to me. I was right at Victoria station when in London. Had trains, taxis, the tube and buses all just steps away. Sometimes it was hard to decide which to take!

I like the double decker red buses, too.

It still looks like baseball to me

They just wear different outfits.

The funny thing is...

MunchinMark is telling the truth!

The Government is beginning to express alarm that the majority of routes terminate in London and they want to force the Rail Companies to terminate somewhere else.

So people can get out and about a bit!

pp, where's Gateshead?

Yet another member today in the Bozo Lonely Hearts Club. From the International File in Gateshead, England comes the story of bozo Mark Waverly who held up a store and while making his getaway noticed a particularly fine woman waiting at the bus stop. So fine was she that our bozo just had to stop and ask her for a date.

After making small talk with her for a few minutes he wrote his name and telephone number on her hand and went on his way. Later, when the woman saw a video tape of the robbery on TV, she recognized the thief as her suitor and called the cops with his name and phone number.

His next date is with the judge.

I think you miscounted ...
Canada is the 51st state. You guys are our 52nd state.

Out and about? In Britain?? The place is so small it hasn't room for any out and about!!

Re: Re: Excellent!

Think about it! Do you really want us as your 51st state? Would you want to have to answer for Todd? Or me?!?!

I'm not surprised at the Bozo. They do things like that up there (it's an area of Newcastle - North East England).

No matter what they're doing it's guaranteed that women or beer will stop them in their tracks!

They've also got a very distinct dialect...

"Wors the netty?" = "Could you please tell me where the bathroom is".

 

[LukkyKnight]

Does this train to to Grantham?

From Grantham, England come Linda and Peter Garnett. These two Bozos decided to print up a bogus check on their new computer. A really big check- equivalent to $16,600,000 dollars--made out to them. Tellers at their bank became suspicious when they came in to deposit their exceptionally large check and tried to cash their welfare check at the same time.

Nice to know not ALL the bozos emmigrated.

 

[Topher]

All joking aside ...

I'm sure some Canadian or Brit will say something to piss me off sometime, but, especially after 9/11, I would be proud to claim you guys as my countrymen.

 

[p_p_man]

Bozos. We gotta million of 'em...

Like the guy who broke into one of the Queen Mother's properties, couldn't find his way out and rang the police to come and rescue him...

Or the other thief who carefully and expertly broke into this shop and then went straight to the video camera and ripped it off the wall. Not realising a full size picture of his face, as it got close to the camera, was being recorded on tape in the back room!

And the extremely angry woman who goaded another thief by saying her boyfriend would go looking for him. To which he replied "No-one mixes with Danny Maguire".

I think it took the police all of 30 seconds to trace him from the telephone book...

As I said, we gotta million of 'em!

Can I start a thread angry with pp man forego the actual intelligent discussion? Now I'm forced to read this sucker.

Way back on page 1, lickerish, you must stay away from my posts before I become infatuated, thanks in advance.
