And he has the picturesque Norfolk Broads to compensate.
Geddit! Broads?

Maybe but I used to live in Southampton and London and I
came to same conclusions there so...

Well, where are you from? The sea?

The sea? eh?
I'm not *from* anywhere. I was born in london and have spent
equal amounts of time living in Paris and various bits of
the UK. Technically I'm half english, quater welch, quater
french but personally I feel 100% nothing. If asked I'd
probably say I prefer France but that doesn't come with a
sense of 'belonging' or rather 'being from' there.

If you think about it, the date should really go yy/mm/dd as
our numerical system goes
largest->smallest
135467009

As it is, dd/mm/yy makes a bit of sense as its the order
you're most likely to need the information (I rarely know
the day off the top of my head, but I almost always know
which month it is). It also makes sense as the sizes of
units increase, albeit in the other direction

smallest->largest

Writing mm/dd/yy is utterly illogical, causes no end of
problems in computing and it wouldn't suprise me if it was
"one of those things" the Americans did during the romantic
era to distinguish themselves from the British (like
adopting spellings that were already outdated back then) as
a stand in way of being seen to have a culture.

the uk is shite though. that's why there's so much good
music, because there's fuck all else to do other than write
music when the weather and people outside are so wank.

i'm in lithuania at the moment and i dread going back to the
uk in august. after i've finished uni in the uk i intend to
get the hell out permanently.

uk = lots of wankers, terrible weather
