Um, we've got Tony Blair and high petrol prices. We've also got a police system that concentrate mostly on speeding offenses and ironically, its also illegal for us to defend ourselves from burglars...

Stay where you are! This country is dirty, overcrowded and feckin expensive! You get taxed for paying tax, hammered if you're lucky enough to get a well paid job and stamped upon if you drive a car-regardless of what it is.

If you don't fancy working, have 4 or more kids and like living in shti - all for free, then you're in luck.

Tell you what - I'll swap ya.

Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree, that lawsuit is absoutely pathetic and should be laughed out of court. I fear though that it will not!

However, this country, is also ablsolutely pathetic IMHO in it's own ways, i.e. the government with their attitudes towards motorists, in fact their attitudes towards the people that they govern, full stop, with the way they screw us every opportunity they get ( GOD I hate the government [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] ), the **** weather (Thanks Claudius - Long time no hear mate!), etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, you could go on all day.....

I would swap with you any day mate..... In fact, one day, when the missus is ready to, I will get out of this ****'ole!

Hi SwinYE5! How's the yellow beast? hehe you polisher

Australia or NZ are big countries with lots of space and good weather in some (most?) areas, low taxes and nice roads, is that correct?

The guy suing MacDonalds was on abc this morning - F***ing to$$er - "Well they didn't tell me that the food wasn't good for me".

Interviewer (polished plastic female with face of concern as if she was talking to the mother of a murder victim) "Well you had a heart attack and your doctor told you give it up - what happened next ?"

**** "Well I continued for another 3 years then I took another heart attack - but they still didn't have any warnings up - I blame them for my situation (being a fat ****)!"

Answer
MacDonalds et al will need signs at the door.

"Thick Fat Yanks need not enter"

ps this was the real interview - His F***ing lawyer was sat there too rubbing his slimey hands with glee.

pps TV in America will drive you nuts - Average 1.5 hour film takes 17 days to watch through all the f***ing adverts.

ppps get me out of here

pppps Coming home next week - hope it's snowing

Ok - answer me this my colonial friend (had to put that in )

In UK we don't have tornados and hurricanes and we build our houses out of bricks.

In America, you have tornados galore, hurricanes, floods etc - and yet you build your houses out of wood and chipboard.

Always seemed funny to me to see houses blown down or merrily floating down a flooded river...

Claudius, me old fruit - The yellow boy's doing fine mate! Polishes up a treat! I think I should start concentrating on more driving fun and less polishing!

Anyway, come back, all is forgiven!
