Why not attach some huge motors to the UK, and let it set off Eastwards, I think some people would be happier there...
For god's sake, choke in your pounds and start paying in dollars then!
But ffs don't say the US is better then the EU...

US isn't all glory either, and the Euro is not doing bad, only the expansion of the EU is going/has already gone too fast, there are many new countries which all need efforts from all partners, but I believe that once all these countries are up to a decent level, they'll make the EU stronger then it is now.

I even think EU will later on play a more important role in the world, and the UK will still be undecided, if that should be so, I hope they deny the UK from entering the EU, and bomb it to the bottom of the Canal.

Stubborn, that's what I call it...

Actually it's everybody else who drives on the wrong side of the road. Everybody used to drive on our side, but Napoleon forced them to do otherwise. Since he conquered most of europe but not Britain, that's why everybody else does it buy we don't.

[Ash]

Aussies do it because we do it.
Cypriots...dunno what their excuse is

Why is there such an argument over who drives where?

Then again...me and Kal have too long a history of arguing over inconsequential things lmao. Prove, as if it were needed, that it even happens WITHIN England.

Still, that was a great piece you found.


Left-side of road from sword fighting? o_0 Cool. Guess I'd have fun, then. I'd be driving from the opposite sidewalk if I was to do it correctly, then (I'm left-handed).

And they have the common history of having been colonized by Britain. Roundabouts still don't make any sense at all. Traffic lights work quite well, thanks.

Yay world war internet, fuck off Europe as soon as I blow up the channel tunnel then we can get out of Europe and not be dragged around the world by the Luxembergs. The Euro will destroy the western world if it is implemented in the UK.


But hey lets recapture teh US I want a villa in Florida with the Union Jack flying outside and seeing the site of Tornados returning after bombing French Carribean islands... Good old 1880s style wars

And once more Ali posts random stuff and disrupts the train of topic.


Roundabouts are more than useful. Intersections only work up to 4 lanes, and are useful if your streets are bend-free as in the US.

We, however, like variety when we drive and so our roads are not straight as dies.

That said, your traffic system is about a hundred times more organised than ours is...we just get congested.


On the first building of motorways:
American: Uh, you guys should really build more lanes..
Brit: Psh-ah! Four lanes will be more than enough.

*Thirty years later*
American: Don't say I didn't warn ya, limey.

[Comrade Kal]

Napoleon changed it because he was left-handed, and forced everybody else to change because he was a git. No-one will ever change, because every single road sign would be in the wrong place, costs financially would be horrendous, as well as human lives lost for the first few months.

We've got traffic intersections here that are up to 10 lanes wide. They just have multiple lanes going in different directions. I've also seen intersections with 5 different roads meeting in one intersection. It's just a matter of some tricky geometry to get it all right.

[Ash]

I'm quite surprised an intersection can conjoin 5 roads...given that they come from (up to) 4 sides..

[Tom]

The euro would be an excellent idea for the UK. It will give freedom to go into other countries without having to worry. What i think would be amazing is one huge european state as one, with a huge parliament, but that would be the day...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

You can do some odd angling to get more than 4 sides to an intersection. It creates a very odd corner, but it certainly can be done.

Yes, indeed, the more independant the EU can be from the US, the better, working together is nice and should stay nevertheless, just that the EU should be able to do it's own business and should not have to count on the US for help, unlike the UK, which do sometimes, run too fast towards Bush IMO...

[Athena]

Kal is right there.

That reminds me of an Irish comedy series

Yes, we should just fuck off and abandon you, see how far you get then.

[cr@zyiv@n]

IMO the only thing that we get here because of Britain are asilum seekers.
In my daily life nothing reminds me of Britain, I don't need Britain, I don't want Britain. If Britain wants to piss off, they wouldn't even have to ask, I wouldn't miss them, especially not the arrogant pricks which think Britain is the center of the world, they who think Britain is untouchable, wait and see, the days you could say that will soon be over. They didn't give Blair what he deserved, he got away with it, but next time he and the US invade some country that doesn't have mass-destruction weapons, it's going to be a day to remember, cause there will be firework, UP HIS ASS!

So for all I care, FUCK OFF! (Move this to BBQ, I see a hot future.)

[Mastermind]

Sadly, a topic that started with some promise turns into nothing more than nationalistic flaming. I guess it will reside here.

Your country. Don't forget your country.

[cr@zyiv@n]

Your country ? Well, for fucks sake, YOUR COUNTRY is the reason we have them, we arrest them, put them in centres and send them back, to see them again a year later. And that's not because the UK is so 'good', these people don't know better, they have heard rumors as fugitives, many of them think they'll find the promised land in the UK, but they never will, the UK does send them back also.
For Gods sake, I hope the stinking island sinks with all of your kind!
