As mistakes go, I think this one needs a bit more than a 'Whoops! Soz! Lol!'

I've never been but it sounds wonderful.

I took my partner for a driving lesson in Colchester last night. At one roundabout the person behind us charged the wrong way round a keep left sign and screamed 'you ****ing ****' out of the window.

This is where I live :(

He has thoroughly bottled it. One letter from a very good solicitor with his name on the door and I havent heard from him in six weeks.

I keep asking him for a convenient time to come in and make my complaint but he never seems to respond :)

As long as the honest citizen in question has either the money for a world class solicitor or who happens to have one in the family. In my case it was the latter....

Its not over yet, but the tide of the war certainly seems to be turning.

THen of course there's the racism :)

The south is alright, actually. I prefer it to the north. Mind you, Americans in general are disgustingly ‘nice’ and after a few days in the country I invariably find myself wanting to be unnecessarily rude to them just to watch the awful smiles drop off their faces.

Anyone who thinks the North are the good guys in in the War of the States is an idiot. That’s just a FACT.

Well yeah that's probably true on pretty much every level. Provided you ignore the whole slavery bit, of course.

Meh. Slavery would’ve gone anyway sooner or later. It’s a retarded economic model in an industrialised world. It was certainly not a good enough reason need for the cream of Anglo-Irish American youth to slaughter each other. A great shame.

Its a war born of the fact that neither side could conceive the demand of the other. It was a disaster on every measure, its only actual achievement being the abolition of slavery and even that was done in a way that ensured a further century of brutal racial oppression and violence.
