I just wonder how come actors are widely despised as being namby pamby social apologists that are weak on everything and not in touch with reality - except in the instance that they are running for office for the Republicans? In that instance they suddenly posess relevant commentary and public credentials - at almost every other time they find themselves dismissed by the comment "what would you know anyway - stick to makin films or singing songs you filthy unamerican".

Just seems that there is a double standard in there somewhere - well to me it does. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thats not true, in Hawaii it costs 2.00's a gallon. I can't even get a half tank on 20 anymore it seems. Blame it on the geographic monopoly they have.

I got this in an e-mail a while back and thought it might be appropriate:

How do you know that you have been in London too long?

1. You say “the City” and expect everyone to know which one.

2. You have never been to The Tower or Madame Tussauds but love Brighton.

3. You can get into a four-hour argument about how to get from Shepherds
Bush to Elephant & Castle at 3:30 on the Friday before a long weekend,
but can’t find Dorset on a map.

4. Hookers and the homeless are invisible.

5. You step over people who collapse on the Tube.

6. You believe that being able to swear at people in their own language
makes you multilingual.

7. You’ve considered stabbing someone.

8. Your door has more than three locks.

9. You consider eye contact an act of overt aggression.

10. You call an 8' x 10' plot of patchy grass a garden.

11. You consider Essex the “countryside”.

12. You think Hyde Park is “nature”.

13. You’re paying 1,200 a month for a studio the size of a walk-in
wardrobe and you think it’s a “bargain”.

14. Shopping in suburban supermarkets and shopping malls gives you a
severe attack of agoraphobia.

15. You pay more each month to park your car than most people in the UK
pay in rent.

16. You pay 3 pounds without blinking for a beer that cost the bar 28p.

17. You actually take fashion seriously.

18. You have 27 different menus next to your telephone.

19. The UK west of Heathrow is still theoretical to you.

20. You’re suspicious of strangers who are actually nice to you.

21. Your idea of personal space is no one actually physically standing
on you.

22. £50 worth of groceries fits in one plastic bag.

23. You have a minimum of five “worst cab ride ever” stories.

24. You don’t hear sirens anymore.

25. You’ve mentally blocked out all thoughts of the city’s air/water
quality and what it’s doing to your insides.

26. You live in a building with a larger population than most towns.

27. Your cleaner is Portuguese, your grocer is Somali, your butcher is
halal, your deli man is Israeli, your landlord is Italian, your laundry
guy is Philippino, your bartender is Australian, your favourite diner
owner is Greek, the watch seller on your corner is Senegalese, your last
cabbie was African, your newsagent is Indian and your local English
chippie owner is Turkish.

28. You wouldn’t want to live anywhere else until you get married.

29. You roll your eyes and say ‘tsk’ at the news that someone has thrown
himself under a tube train.

30. Your day is ruined if you don’t get a copy of Metro on the way to
work.
