I was once asked by an immigration officer at the US Canadian border if I had ever committed an act of Gross Moral Terpitude (or thats what I thought he said). Not being familiar with Terpitudinous Studies, moral or immoral large or small, I asked what he meant. "Way-all, have ya ever don anythin real bad?"

So I said in a flippant way (because he clearly wasnt taking the process seriously) "not recently".

About 1/2 hour later he finally stamped my passport, we went over to the US petrol station, filled up and went back to Canada. It wasn't worth it.

Water is both a wave and a particle*.

You're a mine of useless information mr still.

May your waves and particles ever exhibit complimentarity.

[I'm not surprised btw that bestiality is legal in Utah. Pity mormonism isnt]

I have been reliably informed that I am also the spouter of mindless bull$hit on occasions as well. I'd like to think of this is 'balance'.



And you can hardly buy a drink in Utah too. I suppose molesting goats is the only thing worth doing at that point.

Its certainly off my holiday destination list

You think maybe bestiality has to be legal or the population goes into rapid decline? Is that why the mormons are so keen on genetics?

Know what you mean Steve...I once got into trouble at US customs for laughing at the HUGE picture of Ronard Reagan on the wall. They let me in though...even when I said Bedtime for Bozo was my favourite film (I made that last bit up...they would have shot me quicker than an Italian hostage for such terpitude!)

Anyway it's King's Row (where's the rest of me?)

:wink:

Uncle just died aged 98 was a blue. Must have been one of the few to have been regularly to City's first ground somewhere near Clayton I think (probably a disused sewage farm or similar) then Maine Road and finally the City of Manchester Stadium.

Prize for the first person to remind me of the name of Manchester City's ground before Maine Road.
