Re: WTF in America

A guy walks up to an ice cream stand and says, "I'd like a chocolate cone".

The attendant says "I'm sorry sir, we are completely out of chocolate".

So, the guy says "OK, I'll have a chocolate...

Re: WTF in America

The problem is when you want to sell. "Planning permission" isn't for "community aesthetics" or "safety" (as it should be), it's a revenue source, and they always get something. And they love to...

Re: WTF in America

I don't know how it is in the US, but technically, you're obliged to buy obtain planning permission for everything here. If you paint your lounge, you're supposed to get permission. Install a new...

Re: WTF in America

All things happen to some extent everywhere. But contractors here (Spain) are famous for promising everything - in writing, delivering substantially less, significantly later (if at all), and...

Not that I've seen, and we go over quite often.

Re: WTF in America

Well, I've had "authentic" Mexican food in Mexico. And it's not quite the same (or as appealing) as what you find in a decent Mexican restaurant (not referring to Taco bell).

But then, in Italy,...

Re: WTF in America

Can't be any more of a heart attack than a "full English". But I have to admit, I'm a sucker for "Biscuits 'n Gravy". Still, I reckon whatever you can't get is only more attractive. I hated White...

Re: WTF in America

Well, it's another one of those funny stereotypes.

Whenever the topic of "racism" comes up, it's inevitably associated with America.

I reckon that has a lot to do with not only history, but...

Re: WTF in America

I'll argue what I always do: That these horrible, daily occurrences have far more to do with GUNS than racism.

If there were anything to be outraged over, I'd argue it would be in guns, not...

Re: WTF in America

Caught a very short blurb on Sky news over here this morning. Otherwise, haven't seen much on UK TV. Haven't seen anything on Spanish TV yet.

But in all fairness, the UK is also currently in a...

Re: WTF in America

No surprise, as everyone knows, the US is the single most racially-intolerant country on the planet.

We know that for sure because whenever there's any news about racially-motivated crime,...

Re: WTF in America

I don't want to get into an argument or a rant, but banning kinder eggs is your illustration of regulation?

The yanks have their oddities, but I can assure you, we've banned far sillier things...

Re: WTF in America

No, not really, just an observation that in general, an awful lot of things here aren't firstly designed for consumer convenience, but more oft whatever is the cheapest to produce. Packaging is just...

Re: WTF in America

It has little to do with "freedom". And the EU is indeed, a far more regulated "nanny" state - after all, you can't be too careful; everyone will skirt the rules as much as possible, and so it's...

Re: WTF in America

I filed a lawsuit against a tradesman last year, and rather than settle, he's decided to go to court. I won't bore...
