Back from the +020…. err what?

So what’d you do this weekend?  I went here:

Top 10 things the UK needs to do:
1) PICK A FUCKING SIDE TO WALK ON! You drive on the left, so you should walk on the left too.  It’s the rule.  There is no consistency.  Even signs in the subway differ, saying things like “Keep left” and “Keep right” at different stops. It drove me fucking nuts.
2) Start beating your children.  They’re far too polite.  I hate polite kids.
3) Be a little less proper.  I think this ties in with the rule above.
4) Try working out.  I nominate England for “Fattest country in Europe” and “Fattest country in the world”.  Seriously, the US has bigger fatasses, but I think the median UK fatty is larger than the median US fatty.
5) I know you hate the French, but please take some fashion advice from them.  It was like everyone bought their clothes from Goodwill (not that there’s anything wrong with that, I’ve done it myself), but when it’s en vogue and everyone does it, it’s kinda, well, ugly looking. 
6)  Try makeup/brushing your hair. I nominate the Brits for “Ugliest People in Europe”.  Hands down winner, in my opinion.  Not a pretty country.
7) DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CLOSE THE PUBS AT 10 PM ON SUNDAYS ANY MORE. 8) Keep the double decker busses.
9) Keep the “LOOK RIGHT/LEFT” at crosswalks, so I know which way to look.  Very very useful.  You don’t think that driving on the left will affect you much if you’re not driving, but then you try to cross a street and you look the wrong way.
10) Keep the clean subways, Jesus Christ.  It was absolutely amazing.  Spotless.

A few other things I noticed.  No public bathrooms, except at McDonalds.  And by that, I mean they’re public to Americans only.  Or at least in my mind.  Also, there are no trash cans in public, but STILL no fucking litter.  It was a hassle trying to find a place to throw out my shit. 

That’s all I got.  Look at the pics.  http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~fordcr/london (Yes, I know I already posted it above)

Hired!

So I had a job interview today with Trans States, and, sort of surprisingly, I was hired at the completion of the interview.  Starting 01/02/2007, I will be based in St. Louis, training for a couple of months, then flying this type of plane:
(fuck the image didn’t work, just search for ERJ-145
as United Express and American Connection.
