Muenkel 0 #27 May 28, 2004 Quotewhere did you read this shit? I didn't read it, I've seen it. When I was over there, I was walking around putting my candy wrappers in my pockets because I couldn't find a trash can to throw them in. BTW, I'm actually not bashing London. I truly enjoy the city. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr2mk1g 10 #28 May 28, 2004 Quotebecause I couldn't find a trash can to throw them in. That would be because we've been living with a terrorist threat for the past 75 years. If you put bins out in public places some fuck will put a bomb in it and kill people. Thus there are no bins anywhere where the IRA might like to plant a bomb - like prety much anywhere in London. It's something you might find youself having to get used to in the near future. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rickjump1 0 #34 May 29, 2004 QuoteTen things I like about the UK........ When I got out of the Army, a company in Redhill gave me my first civilian job flying helicopters in the Arabian Gulf. I drank Guiness the first time in a little pub in Redhill with an Iranian, Irishman, and a Brit. I woke up the next day puking and shitting black tea leaves. Still love the stuff. Loved the Imperial War Museum and the British transportation system. You can go anywhere without a car. My favorite aunt was a British war bride. She said the US Army Air Corps would send a bus to pick up the local girls for dances. It wasn't until years later that she discovered why the bus was referred to as the "pussy wagon" by the girls and the GI's.Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
