LOL!

JAR, either the pubic step down, or they die, or they keep going until it escalates to such an extreem that the whole G-ment collapses, and takes the monarchy with it!

In France that could happen in a couple of weeks, but in England...

I think an interesting factor too in this protest is that I don't believe they protesters had any idea in the slightest what they were letting themselves in for. At all. Our health authority is cutting back on GP and District nurse services, effective immediately

Hmm.. Maybe petrol prices and angry farmers spell the end of monarchy all over Europe. The Republic of England.
*shudders*
Republic of Norway
*trembles*
No, give me a decent king any day!

I gotta go. w*rk is over!

Nice talking to you!

JAR, leaving

*slam*

Toodlep...oh, he's gone...oh well, toodlepip anyway!

Did you know that the Republic Of Ireland (or however it's spelt - never could get it right...), ROI, is actually French for 'King'? Funny eh?

Ha. Ha. Ha. You do appreciate that we are talking about the total break down of the British Constitution as we know it, don't you?

IIEM - some coffee beans that have been placed in proximity to hot water without actually touching it please...
Britain doesn't have a constitution anyway...
To be honest the petrol thing wouldn't bother me in the slightest - in fact I'd be all for it - were it not for the fact that we have no decent public transport system in the UK. I don't drive and have to get to London on Saturday from Manchester. I *was* going to get a bus to Sheffield then have a friend who was also going drive me down, but thanks to the petrol crisis this may not be possible, and I'd have to get a train, which costs over £100 when not booked in advance - this to get a couple of hundred miles between two of the largest cities in the country...

Just a thought for if you want to do the Manchester London journey on a weekday morning- book from Manchester to Stoke (peak) return, and from Stoke to London (the same train, but its offpeak by then) also return, and save £100.

I can't believe how virgin have the audacity to charge so much for their terrible service anyway...

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately I've got to travel down on the Friday night and back on Saturday morning - and have *no* money (I'm a student and my loan hasn't come through yet).

Krans, the British Constitution, no, all of Britain, is completely %#@*!!!

It'd be good for a shake-up...

{[B17]} Still driving!(for now)

Hmmm... of course, if and when we do completely run dry, the trains will stop as well...

To think, all my friends laughed when I bought a Sinclair C5. Oh, how wrong they were. I bet they wish they'd never called me names and kicked me out of their gang and beaten me up and... and... Oh, the humanity.

On a brighter note - does anyone know how to synthesise unleaded petrol from banana skins?

No, but some fools smoked them in the 1960's

Yes, I know about that. A similar chemical compund can be made from the skins of peanuts.

I've also heard about the black goopy stuff on old lettuce but that's not even funny!

*looks around...*

I can make petrol for you!
I've just stocked the 'station up with new mater, ready for taking apart...I can make material from the particles I have...all the different atoms...and then all the different substances...

Stoked up with mater? What did the poor woman do to deserve such a fate? If, of course, you mean "matter", then I hope you won't be offended if I don't rush out to buy our own home-made matter.

Can you make a luxury car to go with that?

Don't be ridiculous.

That would require premium home-made matter.
