A lot of Americans have come over here already. Easy to tell, the accent gives them away.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

People in the uk wrongly slate the uk. We're politcally moderate(compared to states), so everyone gets a bit. Our weather isn't that bad, we (in the south) get more sun then is led on. your never more than 70 miles from the sea, all of europe is $100 away (flight). Its very multicultural, except where i live, basically a hick area of uk. Our big cities are shit hot. We have the most amazing array of accents, from twatty cockneys, to geordies and brummies, to well spoken neutral accent chaps like myself. Oh, our countryside is second to none.

Some of the best times of my life have been spent in and around London, Edinburgh, and Galway (Dublin, too, but Galway and Spiddal are just fantastic and nicely rural). I can't say that Wales lifted my spirits as much as the other three, but for countrysides, it is tough to beat, too.

I've been plotting a trip over next, oh, Feb-March or so, whenever I get my tax money back. Somewhere close to London. It'd be nice if everyone who is close by could meet up for an AF hang out.

Mid-March, I will be bouncing between France, Spain and Italy with students, I think.

You and I will probably hit each other up somewhere in the middle of America, I reckon.

Pop by Harlow when you do, it's just a few miles from London. Be nice to see you in person. I've got a slight London-posh accent.
