United fans I always thought it stood for Three Letter Acronym, but I could be wrong. I blame the overuse of them on yuppies just trying to be different.. Tossers..

"I wouldn't count on it" and Mathematics :-) The phrase "do the math" is creeping in to everyday britspeak.. Worrying.. I blame it on those crap tv shows you export over to us. Add to that, our teaching system here has gone to the dogs, where attention to detail means nothing providing they go up the league tables. So, in answer to your first question.. YES ;@) I surprised you even had to ask the second.. !! TWO WEEKS and I'll be there Stu Amy Rupp wrote: > I wouldn't count on it......

Anyone on their first visit to England would if they had any sense make for London first.....fer fecks sake the other cities have their attractions....but.....London is the mother of em all. Don't forget in USA you have fantastic environmental heritage but little cultural (USA being a tad over 25 years old) whereas London is 25 million years old and full of dinosaurs and romans and great fires and plagues and..and and........Oh I give up, mentalists!!!! > > AAAAAGGHHH!!!!!
