Houses are so expensive because it's within spitting distance of London. Unfortunately, the average salary in Slough is well below the regional average, meaning the town suffers from a very low quality of life. Perhaps that's why I want to commit suicide everytime I go there.
Joint Pictures... You mean like XRays of people's knees?

GIF is owned by Unisys, but it's patent expired in June 2003.
A Mancunian is someone from Manchester.
A Manchurian is someone from Manchuria in Northeast Asia.
Besides which, the Inspiral Carpets are from Northwich in Cheshire.
Except it's not paper - it's cotton. The same stuff is used for money pretty much everywhere, with the possible exception of Australia which has plastic money.
But Qwest advertise the fact that they make telemarketing calls.
Have you not seen the commercial with the elderly couple eating ribs? When the phone rings, they get all excited at the prospect of it being a telmarketing call from Qwest.
I think you'll find the majority of the world's monarchies are more civilized than the majority world's republics.
The sad thing is that I agree with the point of your argument, I just hate the ignorant way you made it.

Every true soccer fan calls it football.
Besides which, the riotting usually comes when a team loses.
Err, what "socialist" system?
I've been to all those places (except Boro), and with the possible exception of Liverpool, Slough comes out as the biggest shit-hole.

My long distance provider charges 3.2 cents per minute to the UK. That's lower than Canada, Hawaii or Alaska.
Many languish in jail who cannot afford to pay this 'license fee'.

Sure put me off being a customer.
IE 96? That's 90 versions away. I wonder whether it will have less security holes by then?
You didn't happen to be visiting England did you?
Yeah, after 400 years, it really begins to grate.

That post reminds me of the people that vote "Don't Know" in phone polls.

Wouldn't SCO go after the world's largest cellphone company?
Perhaps you mean another, now defunct, Sun.
Ours is still made of Hydrogen.
