She'd had pains on and off for years before hand. She thought it was something like IBS, she didn't even think about it being problems with her...
Apparently the most played Christmas song (I presume in the UK) was Wham's Last Christmas. The top ten looks like this: 1. Last Christmas - Wham!...
She can't be 100% sure, but at the time she thought it was started by eating fish and chips. (Fairly greasy.) She started feeling unwell during the...
My sister had her gallbladder removed last year. She now suffers from malabsorption which has led to anaemia. (That's what the doctor has told her.)...
I'm occasionally asked to work on a public holiday, but that would never be Christmas Day or Good Friday. I hate working those days and I can usually...
As a follow on from this, how good are the American accents that Brits do on tv shows? Many of them sound pretty good to me, but I'm don't know if...
:soma: Do you think I'd be that cheap? :lol:

I get 32 days holiday, plus the 8 public holidays, plus one extra day at Christmas, all paid. I can also earn up to two paid days per month...
Yep, me too. I've also seen him in something else (can't remember what) with that accent.
I might be remembering this incorrectly but I think he's an American who spent time in the UK as a kid.
Yeah, but he was way down the list of people I was using, as was Simon Pegg.
Is it not the norm to get paid holidays in the US?
There were a fair few Brits in Band of Brothers for example; Damian Lewis - Maj. Winters Robin Laing - Pvt Heffron Shane Taylor - Cpl Roe Dexter...

We might have known that if you'd included a link to the article. :P
Unless I've missed something they're the only supermarket to do so though. Given they have the biggest share of the market, any forced increases...
Not sure about happy hour, Brown is just about miserable enough to try that one. The Supermarkets however is a complete non-starter. It wouldn't take...
I think it's the Germolene smell that really puts me off root beer. 'Tis horrible stuff.

I might be wrong, but I believe the president can serve two consecutive terms and has no limit on non-consecutive terms.
Re: I crap bigger'n you... (How Many State Ya Been To?) 0 for me as I have yet to visit the US. Maybe someday.
That hasn't stopped doctors in the past and doesn't stop them now, just look at euthanasia or abortion (when/where illegal). There are plenty of...

I have mine set on Ninja. It's cute.
Also, don't you time out automatically if you leave your computer for more than X number of minutes. (I can't remember how many.)
I'm pretty sure some of the nasty stuff he posted about Mrs A was in the red room. I think there was a "chat" thread that descended.
:rotfl: I don't suppose there's a screen shot of that anywhere is there?
To be fair to Shep, I've seen quite a few posters spell ridiculous that way. It got to a point where I wondered if this was one of those words...
Or rather Twilight is similar to this as the book this series of True Blood is based on was written in 2001 and Twilight in 2005. ;) I'm enjoying...
It's being said that a former (sacked) employee posted it. Clearly there's no honour among scumbags.
Mine is spiders and for similar reasons I'm doing my best to combat it. I try not to show any emotion when I see one atm and hope in time I'll be...
Whilst I'm finding it hard to be too sympathetic, to list addresses and telephone numbers really is going too far. Some of them are kids or are...
