Re: WTF in America

I drove my in-laws and wife on an island in the Philippines once. That was eye opening with all traffic going in all directions. But no road rage as such, just a case of everybody trying to avoid...

New health insurance company won't accept a UK marriage certificate as it "does not prove that we're married". They want a tax return instead. :blink:

Re: WTF in America

Re: WTF in America

Around here we have plenty of Mexican restaurants and they're cheap. I think there is a Taco Bell - I know of a couple of Del Tacos within half an hour of here. But two Vallartas (Mexican...

You know that got me curious so I dug the old search engine out and found the last 100 posts by her (CBA to look any further), covering about 5 months. I could only find a couple of not so nice...

Re: WTF in America
