Rhetoric....

If I was an Alien and was told all of this before visiting England, Scotland or Northern Ireland (yes America aint the only place to get visits from little green dudes with shiny eyes) I would think why don't these people shop around.
This country is so *ucked up with PC people, illegal immigrants and to mention lazy people who won't do a hard days work, nowonder we have the piss taken out of us from everywhere around the world.

We need to become a communist state, that will sort the problems.

I can't wait to move to south west England, being this close to the French is like cramping my style (that's being nice).
 
seen a list like that except it said only in the USA or Texas-something like that.

lol soo true "shudder"

I agre the first half is fairly generic, but I like the points towards the end "58 people are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers". like these, especially as a mate decided to change his graphics card yusing the same method! :eek: :D

If I go to burger king or KFC I do that, only because I prefer Diet coke to the normal stuff! Don't go to McDonalds though!

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
