@spendius,
"TK asked for advice about "meeting" Englishness. I suggested the Test Match in Cardiff. Newmarket races is also suitable."....
Do these guys look like cricket or horse racing enthusiasts? ....

@Barry The Mod,

Thanks for the mention, Bazza. I thought that was quite funny, for me.

Virgin atlantic flight 21 for me. Don't know taylors flight number but it leaves around 12:30bst for Chicago.

Spendi - you're as big as the pool you swim in you small pond idiot. Your brand of cowardice is only annoying, you offer nothing else.

Writing about Fenimore Cooper in Studies in Classic American Literature D.H.Lawrence had this to say--

Quote:
Cooper's novels fall into two classes: his white novels, such as Homeward Bound, Eve Effingham, The Spy, The Pilot, and then the Leatherstocking Series. Let us look at the white novels first.

The Effinghams are three extremely refined, genteel Americans who are 'Homeward Bound' from England to the States. Their party consists of father, daughter, and uncle, and faithful nurse. The daughter has just finished her education in Europe. She has, indeed, skimmed the cream off Europe. England, France, Italy, and Germany have nothing more to teach her. She is bright and charming, admirable creature; a real modern heroine; intrepid, calm, and self-collected, yet admirably impulsive, always in perfectly good taste; clever and assured in her speech, like a man, but withal charmingly deferential and modest before the stronger sex. It is the perfection of the ideal female. We have learned to shudder at her, but Cooper still admired.

On board is the other type of American, the parvenu, the demagogue, who has 'done' Europe and put it in his breeches pocket, in a month. Oh, Septimus Dodge, if a European had drawn you, that European would never have been forgiven by America. But an American drew you, so Americans wisely ignore you.

Septimus is the American self-made man. God had no hand in his make-up. He made himself. He has been to Europe, no doubt seen everything, including the Venus de Milo. 'What, is that the Venus de Milo ?' And he turns his back on the lady. He's seen her. He's got her. She's a fish he has hooked, and he's off to America with her, leaving the scum of a statue standing in the Louvre.

That is one American way of Vandalism. The original Vandals would have given the complacent dame a knock with a battle-axe, and ended her. The insatiable American looks at her. 'Is that the Venus de Milo ? - come on!' And the Venus de Milo stands there like a naked slave in a market-place,whom someone has spat on. Spat on!

Only your chicken feathers, hen. You do like to think you're a great debater.

Either way, your adherence to nonsense is legend. You are more loyal to madness than the atomic clock is to the second. This thread is no exception. I find my boots back on american soil after a wonderful trip, having met wonderful and warm people, while you troll and hate on others while they have real experience.

The internet made so many new opportunities to talk to other people across the world. I remember being 12 and I had a friend who had internet. He said he was chatting with someone in another country and I asked: "How much does it cost?" When the sun began to rise on the information age, it meant that we could become closer, but after about a decade it seemed that we had found a new way to isolate ourselves.

We can meet on a forum and never meet.

I met PQ and Bazza, and it was a profound gathering. A2K does not tell us how to use it. There are plenty of site dedicated to taking an "internet person" and meeting them IRL. This meeting (along with the others we had on our trip) was of our own design. Couschsurfing is a modern day hitchhiking experience in a world that lives in suspicion and contempt. It means something that three strangers can meet and become friends solely for the experience; the companionship; the adventure.

What you offer in your lonely jealousy is nothing of anyone's desire.

When we went, there was a lady behind the counter and I told her, and she looked puzzled. She was a cute Canadian girl. She laughed and said that perhaps I was meant to pass the comment on to the older Indian woman who normally works there. The shop owner came out and totally impressed me with the service. Gave me some info and said he was going to be in the states in Sept and if I wanted to make an order he'd bring it with him and save me the shipping. Superb service.

Go look. They are spitting feathers goodstyle.

You have a strange notion of "friends". A friend will lend you twenty grand on request and suck the poison out of a snakebite on your arse.

Nah. Hotels are for people who travel. That's why hotels smell of disinfectant and pine fragrances.

My pal said he liked that pine deodoriser which makes your toilet smell like somebody's had a **** in the woods.

@McTag,
I might consider Barry's request if the friend will go **** in the woods and not make any noises with the nipsy.

If the money's right I mean.
