If they got the fuck out of Northern Ireland, they wouldn't have these problems.  But they never learn.

UK OUT OF IRELAND
IRELAND FOR THE IRISH
GO IRISH BEAT SOUTHERN CAL

That best not be short for California or you and I are going to have words.
Winner of THE grumbler point.

I think the thread title may have been facetious. You see at least one story like this from the UK everyday, on the interwebs. Apparently the fearmongers have won. That is if you believe the stories you read on the interwebs.

Yes, though I'm unsure how seriously to take it. There are 61m people in the country and I get the impression that the media desperately trawl for stories like this. One wonders if all these stories couldn't be reduced to "A small percentage of British officials are officious jerks" and left at that  :hmm:

I would also assume that "highly professional rail community officers" = guys on minimum wage who couldn't get into the police force, though that may be unfair.

At the purely anecdotal level life seems much the same as it ever was; one takes photos or writes notes with nobody taking the least bit of interest  :huh:

I read the Daily Mail for my England on the brink news.  :)

I get all my knowledge about Amerikkka from HufPo and Daily Kos. :)

You're joking right?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

The "current environment" of the lowest terrorism in the UK for 40 years.
Yeah, but terrorism struck in the US, and that has an effect on the whole of anglophone culture.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Haven't really listened to The Killers.

Glad I saw this while eating my chicken hot dogs. I'd just been about to ask you to go see The Killers and make out in the bleachers.

It is what Cal became when he went down south.

Of course not.
I was referring to the Trojans of the University of Southern Calderdale.

There's certainly less disruption to public transport in London due to security incidents than at any point I can remember.

I thought this was going to be a soccer thread.  :(

Don't look at me like that.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.
