It was a neutral assumption based on our guest-fiver-related correspondence, but it certainly wouldn't have been a compliment -- I think very highly of America. In some respects I like your country better than mine lately. Why do you think PHJ and I tick each other off so often?

Wow, I thought everybody hated us now. Anyway America is a great country, not as great as it thinks it is but still a great country. At the moment I'd rather live in New York than anywhere in the world.

Arrrrrgh! What's difficult here? It's possible to make a comment that's neither a compliment nor an insult, isn't it?

...ISN'T IT?

By the way, I'm sorry, but I just didn't have time to start up FBC again today. I'll do it tomorrow if I can, but I'm trying to get a fiver done for a site event and it's slow going.

As long as we're this far off-topic anyway, I came to like the UK better and better, over the last six months or so. (If it's any consolation, Lexy. :wink: )

To catalina: Ah? You don't mind our empire and it's tracklements? (Sorry, but I'm not sure exactly where you are from - but if you happen to be from Spain - I would point out that our Foreign Office has been trying to flog the Empire for years - a referendum was recently held on Gibraltar and the people voted a landslide to remain part of the Empire.....)

[actually on topic]Sorry to see FBC's not back up quite yet, but I'm glad to hear it's made its way towards the upper end of the to-do list... as always, looking forward to return.[/actually on topic]

[vaguely on topic]And, to help out, here's a bit of irresistable bait - for the next week and a half at least, I'm completely, utterly not here. I've started my IDF Basic Training for Mathematicians this week, and the next week and a half is the longest stretch I'm going to be on base. Clearly, the immutable laws of the immortal Murphy demand that the return of the FBC take place while I'm not around to enjoy it.[/vaguely on topic]

That's all for the moment - must rush off and pack for tomorrow. Soldier on, y'all!

Actually, the greatest country in Europe is obviously Britain. I mean, we still (just manage to) have an Empire that spans a continent and a sizable chunk of another (as well as all the endless islands, Malta, Gibraltar, Passthesalta, and the Laxative Islands.....

In that case, I see no solution other than resolving it.

Well, let's see... It's September the 18th, I'm in the same time zone as Zeke... the 15th was THREE DAYS AGO!

You kooky colonials, sometimes you're just so darned cute when you're trying to be funny. :P

There are some who would say of course that the UK is the best state in the whole of the USA...
