A £15 plane ticket is nice but there is the problem of being in london at the end of it

London is a great city if you don't have a chip the size of a shut down coal mine on your shoulder.

Tyr is that unique snowflake rarely seen in the wild: the Self-Loathing Englishman.

Most Englishmen seem to be quite ok and confident about their Englishness. Not overly so, mind you, but I am not seeing any rampant self-loathing. Then again, my basis of comparison is Hungary.

1st Lieutenant = average. 

Ditto.  I think not being the outdoorsy type hurt me.

I am shocked, shocked, that Commies on POT are giving Stalin and Mao blowjobs.

Calling the pic of derspiess and his gun-nutty buddies in the woods a bunch of yahoos probably didn't help.

There were some questions that just didnt apply.  For example, I couldnt answer it was the flag of my country or my symbol of liberty so I had to go with a piece of cloth.

In the next question picturing the Yahoos one option was people defending there (sic) country.  Obviously I couldnt pick the option with the obvious error.

In Question about the power being knocked out in the US they didnt have an answer which reflected what I would do - turn on my lights, go downstairs and watch on TV 

There was also a question which asked my view "As an American" so I had to go with undecided.

Does anyone know what the civilian military combine is? I am apparently now on their email list.

[Tonitrus]

If only the internets had sites for figuring out such things! 

[garbon]

Well I know what it says when I went to their website. I'm really unclear as to what this has to do with me.

Yay, my hybrid car battery died but it is under warranty and I won't have to pay for it.

Might just need a jump.  Did you leave your lights on?

Nah/I should have said "died" but rather "malfunctioning". Actually last year I had to get my regular car battery replaced as there was a period of time where car wouldn't start up even with a jump. However at that time they told me my hybrid battery was fine.

However, in the past year, it has been wonky in that display inside car would show hybrid battery not charged at all one minute, fully charged the next and then not charged a few minutes later - though after about an hour of driving would always stabilize and look normal. I had looked up at one point and it said that yeah this was a common problem with older Honda hybrids and that there was warranty but it was unclear on what cars were covered.

Also in past year, my check engine light has been going on randomly but then will also go off after driving a while. I need to get my car inspected and that's an automatic fail, so I took my car in last night to have them run diagnostic. Apparently this faulty battery was the reason why.
