Oh how I miss English Bacon.

Cd.

I had some british-ish bacon today.
Buy the Maple Leaf Back Bacon with half a slice of the 'normal' bacon
and hey presto english bacon. Almost.

That find improved my life by 3 %

I can't have a gay wedding to Souvenir as I am betrothed to a lesbian. Besides, after three years of earnest effort and fifty thousand dollars in fees I'm nowhere near getting divorced. People here complain that Canadian immigration is a slow process, little do they know how slowly everything else moves here!

I would agree with this. I am very proud to be welsh. Having lived in England for the last 6 years I agree that the English are not so proud of being English. If I wasn't looking at moving to Canada I would almost certainly be looking at moving back to Wales as I miss being surrounded my fellow welsh people.

The British isles show is on for 3 days and not many people really know about it. I always try and spread the word.

Is Britain not good for anything?

Well i am still proud to be British. Even if nobody else shares my enthusiasm. :confused:

How about an organised traffic jam, around a car park, play musical chairs with the 10 available parking spaces....add some gatso speed camera races, see who can flash up the greatest speed.

Nonetheless we'll go to the British Isles Show and wallow in the tackiness of it all.

Sounds fun, we have those races on the highway ramps here. Alas my other half has turned into a wetback so now she's working the weekend and I'm babysitting.
