Yes indeed, P.J. O'Rourke is the Will Rogers of our day.

Sorry Jim, but I agree with August: as much as I like that 'Britain' post, I see it everywhere, all the time.

Yes I am indeed from notloB......errr..... Bolton!:D

Great Python vid.:up:

That opening view actually is of Notl....I mean....Bolton, I recognise the town hall sticking up in there middle. I live near the hills on the other side of town opposite from where that shot is was taken from.

I'm not sure about the gangs of elderly ladies roaming the streets, though I have seen quite a few rough looking women roaming Bolton town centre on a Friday or Saturday night! :lol:

Love it, makes it sound like quite a charming hobby.

@Nikimcbee I went to university in Notlob sorry Bolton.

Kurtz, who would have thought I'd find someone else familiar with little old Bolton on Subsim!:up:

How long ago were you at uni in Bolton?

Okay, I'm old and blind. But it was there before. I know it was. Trust me. It was.

I'd have to check my cv for exactitude but.

1974 to 1978 Bolton Tech for City and Guilds Instrumentation and control

1978 to 79 Bolton Institute of technology T5 instrumentation etc.

'79 to '82 Bsc Hons Electronic engineering

According to my father who was on the railways Bolton is always about 2 degrees colder than anywhere near it. On my course we had a guy from Torquay (the English Riviera!) who spent 3 years in a permanent state of hypothermia!
All I remeber is girls in tight jeans and leg warmers mmm:)

There is, of course, Nobel Peace Prize-winning Al Gore. May I ask you Europeans, are your Norwegians crazy?
I find deep offense in this statement.

Norwegians are, in fact, fairly sane :up: .
