Bit of a fùcking kip, frankly. Fúck all to see bar the JFK thing.
And it’s really quite...well...y’know...black.
Certainly in the downtown area, it’s almost all black and Mexican.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that, of course. Diversity is our strength and whatnot.
Rather a lot of the black chaps do seem to be of the older variety who stand on street corners wearing every item of clothing they own and shouting incomprehensibly at passers by. Which is nice.
I like that it's 'salad' backwards. Kinda.Quote:

Yes. I'm pretty sure I read the same book.Quote:

I am currently sitting in a pub in Ware that is 800 years old. I could fire a shotgun down the high street here and not hit a single building built after 1831. It's a weird thing being somewhere that has no roots to it.
I'm a little surprised at that, in my head (and from watching NFL), I assumed it was all whiteQuote:

Did you see I went to Dealey Plaza and the museum? It’s convinced me there’s no way Oswald was the only shooter (if he was a shooter at all).Quote:

Fairplay though; nobody likes having alot of Africans around.
