I don't think any holiday is ever perfect, I had a wonderful time last year and on the last day was sick, came home with a 3 week flu
I'd like to visit the north, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island.

Sadly I have no idea what you're on about..
Alternatively, I will play along and make out that I'm a reaaaaal smart!

I probably should have checked the Ri is the abbreviation for Rhode Island
but couldn't be arsed.

Do enlighten us Kristine.

I had McDonalds on saturday, it wasn't as horrible as I expected.
Probably because all the alcohol I drank on friday killed my taste buds.

I'm ashamed to admit on /ot which is notoriously foodie

Well,
Massachusetts has no lights, Connecticut has Yankees and Rhode Island has red chickens.

I don't know.
Have you ever heard a song and it gives you a whimsical feeling?
Like you should be in a certain place listening to this song at a certain time?
Like you shouldn't be where you are?

I want to go to San Fransisco and wear yellow flowers in my hair.
(Which I can do now it's long)
( girlinthehole, Mon 19 Apr 2010, 13:39, Reply)

I wouldn't mind going back to Frisco some day.
I think it's possibly one of my favourite cities what I've been to.

Frisco the Seventies

Is there a city called 'The Seventies'?
*confused face*

In the Land of Wishes,
yes, there is.

For me San Francisco will always be the Seventies.
I was a serious hippy, man.

Don't you wish people were patriotic about their OWN countries?
Instead of these plastic paddies as they are known at Celtic Park..
( whenanimalsattackhumans clad in global hypercolour, Mon 19 Apr 2010, 13:43, Reply)

I'm not as patriotic as I should be.

( Lisette von Falcon, Mon 19 Apr 2010, 13:45, Reply)

There is no level of patriotism that one must aspire to.

It is down to individual choice.

Misty-eyed notions of 'roots'
cause a fairly large proportion of the world's problems. The Israel situation could be viewed as an extension of that, to a certain extent...
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 19 Apr 2010, 13:49, Reply)

Yugoslavia would be the same
a fantastic experiment in country creation, in this case defining people by location and in Isreal by religion.

That is a wonderful record.
When I moved to London I stole my father's 45 of that.

I know I've said it before,
but I still think the solution to the whole problem is The Gaza Strip Beer Festival.

Granted, both sides would have to put aside a few fairly important religious prohibitions, but in my experience, there are few friendlier atmospheres than a medium-sized beer festival. Give them a few hours to put away some refreshing pints of ale with some pork scratchings and they'd soon realise that they were all perfectly nice people and the whole thing really wasn't worth squabbling over. Then they'd eventually get to the sad-drunk stage and start tearfully apologising for the way each side treated the other and eventually they could just relax about it and LEARN TO SHARE PROPERLY LIKE GROWN-UPS.
(LongJohnBaldry, Mon 19 Apr 2010, 13:57, Reply)

And finish the day with
You are my best fucking friend and I love you, mate.(hic)

No pork scratchings in Gaza though. Bad idea. Loadsa peanuts of various denominations.
(porkylips looks better as the sun goes down., Mon 19 Apr 2010, 14:20, Reply)

A minor logistical problem. We'd have to ship the beer from Britain
so I'm sure a lorry load of pork scratchings and pies could be arranged as well.

Then again,
Hatred of pork products could be a first step at union for them.
