From: Gummi Richthofen snip....
(historical aside: the national fibre & data backbone is indeed named after "Colossus" - the computer designed and built by Alan Turing to crack german military codes during World War II. Large chunks of the infrastructre that make Colossus work are actually at Bletchley Park, the codebreaker's wartime HQ. Arguably, therefore, Colossus is the oldest continuously-upgraded bit of computing hardware on the planet - but it bears no responsibility for the cost-driven decisions of third-tier ISPS in restricting their users bandwidth by protocol. Some of us simply pay the actual rate for the bandwidth we require - and get it. There's a funny thing!) just don't mention the war...... Inc

From: Chas Connolly Only if you're up north, lad. I was in a chippy in Liverpool a couple of months back and people were ordering fried rice and chips, with gravy. They even eat chips with pizza. What's that about? No, what's scary is that you people eat chips with mayonnaise. *shudder* |

From: Oryx Tempel Brits n stuff. Most Brits would be as horrified as you by the idea of mayonnaise on their chips. We well-travelled and more civilized Brits occasionally have mayonnaise with our fries.

There's, uh, probably a lot of things you didn't know about lindens. Another, another interesting, uh, lindenism, uh, there are only three jobs available to a linden. The first is making shoes at night while, you know, while the old cobbler sleeps.You can bake cookies in a tree. But the third job, some call it, uh, "the show" or "the big dance," it's the profession that every linden aspires to.

Mind you, I did once have fries and a gravy-like potion on them just outside Montreal some years back.... the locals were somewhat bemused by the speed at which I consumed them (aka snarfed them down), they fondly imagining that only locals could eat such a mix. Putchin (or something like) I think it was called.
I fear a whole generation of Canadians lost their respect for members of Her Britannic Majesty's government that trip... mind you, the joke about Sir Francis Drake, a red jacket, and the need to send up a spare cabin boy might also have had something to do with it........
ah well......
