I love the way the Americans with a great smile say "have a nice day" and mean it a far cry from the Brit variation.
I love the way when you walk in a store you can take an antiseptic wipe for the shopping trolley.
I love the way that almost everywhere there is a crowd that there is free coffee.
I love the abundance of sea food here. it is wonderful.
I hate the fact that there are few pavements.
I hate the magazine rack that is almost exclusively devoted to slaughtering animals with all kinds of weapons, even cross and draw bows.
I hate, sorry I have run out of hates.
I deliberatly left politics and politicians out because I only want to sneer at them.

I love America when I laugh to see the crazy food combinations they have .
I love America when I see how confidant the children are.
I love America when I see a man in a pin striped immaculate suit with a collar and tie, lovely polished brogue shoes, and a base ball cap with the logo New York Giants on it ( seen today)
I hate America when I see todays newspaper with a tiny article stuck in the middle about a missing five year old child from Minnesota, missing since December 2. In Britain this would be front page news.
I hate America when I see some of the obese people here, who have gone from super into mega obese. A white lady i saw today i swear you could have used her arse as a temporary film screen for your film projector.

I'm beginning to worry about you, Gus. ..we'll be singing 'will ye no come back agin?' if this love affair with America goes on. btw. Tree Lady is waiting for you in the Adirondacks..its a bit remote so buy some mountaineering equipment!  ps. her hubby is useful with a gun apparently - even moreso than our Annie Oakley herself. |

 Mels New Year Party was so successful she's only just arrived home.You are aware I presume that the photo is of Pariser Platz Berlin with the Brandenburg Tor in the background. Has Mel been sniffing around Germans again? ;D PS the building to the right is now I think a part of the new British Embassy there. I received an official invite there one time. gus |

I am not quite sure where the Adirondacks are, but I have just printed out a Mapquest route or rowt as they say here and it seems to take around 400 miles and according to them it should take about 6 hours driving, blimey in England 400 miles would take you 6 days ;D The route goes through Buffalo where I will shuffle of too. that was an old song for all the babies on the board btw. gus |

Oh of course. I didnt really look that closely, Gus!
Funny how they don't look German somehow. I'd guess 1930's yeah?

I'd guess 1930's yeah? well most of your typical blue eyed Germans are in West and South Germany, and although some dark haired germans are to be found there, in NE Germany it is very common to see a lot of dark haired people . not least today the 250,000 Turks in Berlin ;D But maybe the Maedels have just come back from partying with Der Hitler Jugend. gus |

American Golden Years
The Golden years have come at last.
I cannot see,
I cannot pee,
I cannot screw,
I cannot chew,
my memory shrinks,
my hearing stinks,
no sense of smell,
I look like hell,
My body is drooping,
have trouble pooping,
Yes the golden years have come at last.
The golden years can kiss my arse (modified)
