    Florida I-Drive

    Totally agree with Sarasota. The sand on Siesta Key is so fine people build turreted castles on it. I saw a marriage proposal sculpted in sand. You can see the dolphins and manatees or the alligators (not all in death match). Ironically there's a power plant with hot water being released from...

    Is It True?

    There are many rumours in this world and some are more equal than others. A few of these may be answered by Snopes, some by Wikipedia but better to share your inane thoughts here, I think. Starter for ten: Did Churchill once answer an exam question to describe a cricket match as "Rained off."

    Arsenal, pah!

    This was the day I first remember supporting Brighton. I was young and my older brother is a gooner so took great pleasure in the mighty Albion winning. It will happen again.

    Masters Golf Thread

    Woods lurking behind two Brits. Probably not for the first time.

    Living in America

    Radio is shocking here. Same songs time after time. It might sound good if you're passing through but it gets repetitive beyond belief. Stations are worried they'll lose listeners if they don't play tried and tested music. Before long it gets very trying and very testing. Each to their own on...

    Good point! With guns and the driving, it's a wonder anyone's still alive.

    Living in America

    Road trips are amazing. Coming from a small island, it makes it that much more remarkable that you can set off in one direction and just drive for days at a time and see the landscape change. Jack Kerouac lives! As for getting things done, I'm not sure what you mean by that. Rudeness I kind of...

    Living in America

    Prime Minister's question time used to be on in Florida but more for its novelty than anything else. I would be surprised if it got much coverage until early May at the latest. Americans are not much into world politics unless it involves a war.

    Shield versus Badge

    It just goes to show how cool ours looked beforehand that others have more or less copied it. I just don't like the badge. It needs updating and what better time than for the new move back into a permanent stadium? I think we could take the old circular badge and bring it up to date with some...

    Living in America

    Agree with all of this. The financial divides are scandalous and growing. Also, as mentioned above, healthcare is extortionate. I had root canal and it cost me $2,500! Media would be funny if everyone didn't believe the crap they push out. I forgot to mention that wastage is horrible too...

    We need circular badge back. Derby County have adopted it. We need to take it back..

    Living in America

    And there's more! Websites are largely so incomprehensible they need our lot to sort them out (NSC). Fashion - London two years later; Happiness - isn't money. It's the presentation of it to the right people; Coastlines - totally bulldozed/built on, with very little natural landscape; History...

    They suck people in with very good quality local news and sports and then sell utter bollocks as "News." This country needs an independent news station. It would "oh shit" mean accountability. Media sucks here and I don't even work in it before anyone asks.

    Living in America

    It's interesting but quite f***ed up here: Cheaper - check; Food covered in sugar or cheese - check yeah! Steak - yes; Rock and roll - better in England but Jazz, Hip Hop and Soul..... Radio - I miss BBC. Commerical = utter shite that has been shown to be in vogue/popular on BBC Radio 1 or 2 in...

    Actually Barry, if you can't get one over there and wanted one, let me know and I'll order one for you here and bring it back at end of May when I return.

    Pretty fine performance! I saw a T-shirt in Niketown in Boston yesterday saying just "Albert Knows." Might interest you!
