There is an outlet in Burma here that used to manufacture Triumph upper decker flopper stoppers (or was that over shoulder boulder holders?) - and cos of the sanctions there is stock somewhere wating to be picked up in local stores...Anyways, if my wife was here, i'm sure she would have helped, as it is, she's not, and i aint going thru ladies undies

[SeaVisionBurma]

she's not, and i aint going thru ladies undies

Phazey, PM me the address of these stores, when I get a few hours spare I'll go and have a look through the stocks on your behalf.  

I promise to post news to the other forum members, in order to keep them abreast of the situation.....

Perhaps I'll find a treasure CHEST of goodies???

15) West Ham Utd

They're doing so well lately you could probably get them for a fiver plus P&P and bring them out with you!

[phazey]

Alough for that fiver, i would expect the whole squad, subs, trainers, corner flags, some souviners, a turf of grass from upton park and a season ticket for life.

That is all.

[taxexile]

rowntrees fruit pastilles (in the box).

dandelion and burdock.

a good chippy.(please dont direct me to that one near cowboy)

coronation st.

sarcasm and wit.

footie on radio5.

comedy on tv.

[kernow]

Doesn't radio 5 get broadcast from the BBC website? Or do they not have broadcasting rights for football?

[taxexile]

i tried once to listen to footie from the website,and couldnt get it. so i guess that's the reason why. no rights.

[phazey]

Here is a link for your UK radio needs - alough that does have other countries. Gawd i can't believe how awful GWR sounds now compaired to when i was back "home".

I'll post a link to streamingTV stations later if i can get it...

Cold milk and cookies

Roast dinners

Bread

Cold fresh mornings

Lamb Kebabs, after fifteen pints of stella and lime

And of course good old English breakfast from the chap in the local greasy spoon.

[taxexile]

cookies

shouldn't that be biscuits.

[marquess]

Ritters marzipane plain chocolate and decent non fiction books.  :cool:

[Mackerel]

Tunnocks Caramel Wafer biscuits...

Cereals like weetabix, shredded wheat and those square cereal things [ like the size of a postage stamp, checked pattern ]....

Decent T.V. To think, I thought it was bad back home. Now I see it was ok really

[tutsiwarrior]

As a transplanted Yank that lived in the UK for about 10 years I miss my little terraced house in Brighton, a nice Sunday lunch with pub before and the EastEnders omnibus. I got to admit that even though I think that the place stinks (English people are the worst thing about Britain...the Celts are cool) I did find the place cosy...tried to explain about rastas and tea coseys to my friends in CA but they could not comprehend...

(Dr Pat Pong...open fire on that blackguard...)

just kidding around folks...

[the scouser]

English people are the worst thing about Britain

Having pissed off some fellow Californians old Tutsi's now trying to mix it with the English.......... :laugh:

Scouse

[tutsiwarrior]

scouse...get outa here...you're giving it away...

[tutsiwarrior]

and to boot...Gerry Marsden was lucky that the ferry 'cross the Mersey never sank under his sentimentalist <deleted>...

(hehehe...rubbing our hands in anticipation...)

[the scouser]

Tutsi (or should that be Tootsie as you lived in Brighton for 10 years),

Got a couple of great links for you (promise nothing offensive): Still going strong and also as a special treat      

Scouse

[tutsiwarrior]

(hissss...) remember that Toots was the name of an evil sadistic villain in the great John Huston film Key Largo...nothin' sissy about him until he got sea sick and Bogie chucked him overboard in shark infested waters...

any sharks out by the Wirral?

[the scouser]

No sharks, only Mersey goldfish (raw sewage bobbing down the river). Lovely.......

Scouse.

[tutsiwarrior]

Mercy...

[plachon]

A decent pint of beer (like Harvey's Best or Wadworth's 6X) and watching the sun set in a classic English pub garden with good company. Later, going inside for some pub grub and getting shit faced 'til closing time, then that unforgettably English  / Welsh feeling of stepping outside at 11,30 pm into a howling gale and horizontal rain (snow if you live in Scotland) and running for your car. Mind you, this is a very fleeting homesickness, when you think about waking up the next day to rain streaming down the windows and council tax bills amongst the piles of junk mail lying on the doormat.

[tutsiwarrior]

plachon...waxing lyrical about a pint of Harvey's Best? You from E. Sussex mate? Never seen Harveys outside of a 50 mile radius of Lewes.

Cheers and down the hatch...Harveys is probably the best beer south of the East Midlands (Bass, Ind Coope and Pedigree). Plenty of others north thereof...Tim Taylor's Landlord...absolute king of beers. Let's turn the thread into a brawl regarding favorite UK beers...initiated by a Yank...
