Death is simply a shedding of the physical body like the butterfly shedding its cocoon. It is a transition to a higher state of consciousness where you continue to perceive, to understand, to laugh, and to be able to grow. - Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross | |

Drinking and meeting up with friends. The real question is what is a chav - or anyone, for that matter - doing with a knife, never mind two knives? |

Judging by the number of similar stories I'm seeing, relaxing the English drinking hours was a mistake. The idea that the hard-drinking English would suddenly turn into sophisticated Europeans, gently quaffing a real-ale before wandering quietly home for a couple of rounds of garlic bread in order to contemplatively watch the sunrise was always a little naive. Englander see beer - Englander drink beer. Beer good. Fighting good. |

Brown is going to have to do something about that. I'd walk through the South Bronx or Harlem in the middle of the night before I'd walk through some places in Birmingham, etc. They should just start a stop and search program. |

Phlebas, I read an article suggesting that a couple of days ago (I can't remember which one, so I may have posted it) which stated that the police, of which there are few and far between, do not want to "antagonise" the children by conducting stop and searches.

Quite a bit, actually, although that wasn't what M&M's meant, I believe. With age comes experience , and a little more wisdom. Not a lot, but a little. |

England sucks. Sorry England, but it's a fact. I remember coming out of clubs in Manchester at 2am on a Saturday morning - what a bloody horrendous experience. Bits of it are pretty hideous place even at 5pm. |

John, it really does. I went back for a long weekend at the beginning of May: the people were stupid and rude, the streets were dirty and the food was expensive and salty. I'm not planning on living there when I'm grown up.

I'm stupid and rude too, so that bit doesn't bother me. It's the fighting - if I was better at it I might go back, but I'm a total coward. The food can really suck. Last time I was there I was at some semi-posh hotel in Derbyshire. I stupidly ordered steak - and they bloody served it fried rather than grilled. I felt like doing a Gordon Ramsay on them. |

Unfortunately not :lol: I rarely have tea, even when the Queen Mother was alive, and despite the fact that I live in Cheltenham. I will, however, go punting when I visit my brother in Oxford

Well that's your own silly fault for thinking the English can cook steak! I do miss the curries though. Proper British fodder. |

The sad thing is, it can be great. A really nice pub in England is better than anything I've ever come across in North America - all these faux pubs don't have a patch on the real thing. America does other stuff really well, of course, but I'm afraid it's not pubs. OK, which other countries can I be rude about? |
