Yes LC was filed in June 07
Lets just say thats what we're hoping for..we're crossing our fingers and praying that we get the LC before Jan if not ...well time to go

Difference is, we ain't in the UK to bitch about the things that piss us off there, but we are here, so will bitch about what's crap....that doesn't mean the whole place is a shit hole, just that some things are crap, if you can't see the difference, then what's the point in discussing it.

it's really pretty elementary, i don't know what all the fuss is about.... if someone doesn't like to read a particular post, thread or whatever then don't.

just as with the tv, if i don't want to watch something i switch off or switch over, doesn't take much of an effort.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, sometimes it's all how it comes across and is perceived by the natives of the country that is being discussed-UK OR US. I might get fed up to the back teeth with some the of the whinging about the US, BUT I have seen Brits fire up at other Brits if they moan about the UK. Ah well, equal opportunity right?

Yes, the switch off feature is handy.
