Things are getting out of hand over there again. Terrorist acts one day threats the next.

Ha! they've been huffing and puffing at us for years over Rushdie, Ayatollah Khomeini issued a death sentence on him years ago.He looks pretty good for a dead man.

I dont know if you get the joke here, but the text joke that I got from a pal was... Glasgow Airport baggage handlers were said to be furious yesterday when the Indian that they had ordered turned up burned. (Over here and Indian is a nickname for a take away curry)

Told you before, the British could handle the Paddies and they can deal with the Pakkies

Yep he should have been long gone by now if they had kept their promise. Still you guys need to get your stuff together over there. Blowing up airports and such is not good for tourism!

Ha Ha If you'd ever visited Glasgow then you'd understand just how an explosion would improve it

Wife and I enjoyed Mackinac Island with fresh clean water everywhere, the movie, Somewhere in Time stills live on in the Grand Hotel, but since I was there last, they hired an interior decorator with loud colors that in my opinion diminished the old charm it had. Driving across in the Mackinaw bridge in a class A, was either tense or a thrill in high winds over 200 feet above the water, but convinced me to put on new shocks. Prices sure have gone up, a camping park, city, state, or private is just as much as a motel was.

Most of the USA is plastic with the same chain stores in each town, but still a lot of beautiful nature to see. I enjoy reading travel brochures, but each place must have golf and tennis courts and swimming. Ha, even the brochure for my home town has that plus see the clock tower on the old courthouse. We actually have two golf courses and four tennis courts.

Always wanted to visit London, but was warned with my sensitivities would have a miserable time, a 2000 year old stench that is everywhere, not only in the walls, but also the food you are expected to eat. What do you have to say about this, Karl? My old boss purchased a semiconductor plant in Scotland that was a huge mistake, nothing but benefit and union problems, plus I had to break the bad news to him that the diode chips did not meet specification. He got rid of that plant but doesn't intend on future visits to Scotland.

Perhaps I should be just content to watch Churchhill's Secret WW II Bunkers on Discovery and Avenger reruns showing the beautiful English countryside on the tele. But would have to learn the language if I ever do get to visit there.

Wife is talking about Italy, found the small village my grandfather lived at, and even walked the path on google earth the 3 miles he walked to visit where my grandmother lived and that part of the world is in high resolution. Can't say that about my hometown. Wife does speak enough Italian to get by on, my parents were dead set against learning that language when I was a kid, something about we were at war with Italy at the time.

Was in Phoenix in August in 1994, it gets hot in Phoenix. Had a rented car, but didn't use the AC, used that opportunity to get rid of the ice blue tint on my skin.

I've never noticed that London had a bad smell but I suppose that I would smell a little damp and musty since the UK is such a damp place. I have always disliked London, it has some interesting parts but mainly it is a bit of a hole, There are some world class restaurants but they also charge world class prices and you do get ripped off for virtually everything because property prices in London are outrageous. For a better taste of the UK, go North to North Wales, Cheshire, Shropshire and across to Staffordshire and Derbyshire, the scenery is still typically British and there are plenty of stately homes and quaint towns with genuine half timbered buildings, the people are more friendly too. Food wise, it all depends on what it is you like to eat, even in my little "Burg" of Crewe I can easily walk to Indian, Thai, Chinese and Italian restaurants. The Southerners can't make proper fish and chips.

We still have a lot of very depressing back to back terrace housing in red brick with narrow streets and no parking but this is a throwback to the turn of the century where cheap housing was needed for the factory workers and my personal view is that they should be bulldozed to make way for far more attractive housing yet only a few miles away are some lovely little villages with village greens and a pub or two, The village pubs tend to make a far better effort on food and the quality of their beer and the one that I frequent always has a large selection of superb "Guest beers" which are beers from very small breweries who still brew in the traditional way with no additives... and yes it is warm. Four pints of "Wobbly Bob" is enough to make me fall backwards off my bench. I think that the landlord does have a bottle of supercooled fizz in his chiller, just in case an American happens to stop by...
