Dreaming of England

Hey, that's a bit mad. I used to live in Colchester, too.
Did you know a pub over the bridge on East Street, just before the train crossing, called The Rose & Crown? Very nice pint of Broadside they served in there; my first taste of it anywhere.
As for the Queen's party, the only bit I'm interested in seeing is Ozzie Osbourne eating a bat on the palace roof.
One would be highly amused.

Well that is pretty crazy...but it's a small world, I guess. No, I've never seen that pub before....I was only 8 when I lived there, you see, so.... 
Anyways when I get the chance I'm going back to England, just to see it again. Oh, those quaint little English cafes and markets! I can go on and on about those. Yeah so I'm gonna leave before I make somebody puke. -B

Is lego land windsor still popular? 
I totally remember legoland windsor and those "go bananas" places...i know this topic is getting a little tired but i'm just a kid at heart that wants to go back to those carefree days when all you did was play, eat, sleep or go to legoland Anyways i'm sorry that you've never been outta the u.s. like, ever (scary) dawn...if i could never leave canada i would freak out because it sucks here (literally). The doctors were on strike and cancelled all elective surgeries, the nurses also went on strike a few months ago, and then last year there was that horrible 3 month (or somewhere around there) bus driver strike (the list goes on and on) *sigh*i wish i didn't live in such a corrupt place where people are so self centered and greedy for money. It's disgusting. -B

Oddly enough, according to a recent survey I read, a high percentage of people in the UK, when asked to choose a foreign country they'd emigrate to, selected Canada.
I've lived in parts of the USA but never went north of the border. I have to say, it really does appeal.
In terms of global society, you're also on safe ground if you're Canadian - they're just a well-liked people. A group of Californian travellers that I once met in Indonesia told me they'd been pretending to be Canadian for two months - ever since they were in south Australia! Even the Brits like them - and we don't like anyone! (I'm generalising, of course. But it's also true that, apart from in America and Japan, the Brits are as internationally unpopular as Canadians are popular.)

Getting confused. Thought you said you don't live in the UK now. (Cheap shot, I know, but it's my target so I can shoot at it if I want.)

excuse me?
You must be talking about Alberta, at best. Here, in *snicker* British Columbia? NO. There's all this messy softwood lumber dispute going over here vs. the US (scary big people) and theres so many laid off lumber mill workers that have no source of income at all and have to rely on the goverment, which is in a record $3- something million deficit!!!! Boy oh boy. It's nice to be treated as *nice people* in other parts of the world, but you don't know HALF of the screwed up situation in the province I live in. -B
P.S. If you're going to give me a "well at least you don't live in a third world country" speech, save it, because...well....oh, nevermind. 
P.P.S. English accents sound so cool.
