a few away from 400 (woah big deal I hear)...

[Truebrit71sbruv]

... but hell... it's a milestone for ickle old me...

Fugg going to bed just now... anyone care to help me make the next tiny-step forwards?

[obxhead]

1. Taking your time huh?

[Truebrit71sbruv]

2. yup...

... crawling my way... inch by bleedin' inch... :D

[obxhead]

4. So hows Denmark working for you?

I'm starting to feel that the people telling me "if you don't like it leave" are right.

[Truebrit71sbruv]

5. Actually....

I'm loving it... am beginning to get things seriously well settled over here and life is, on the whole, excellent.

It might not be everyone's cup of tea... but hell... I just drink kaffe instead... :evilgrin:

[obxhead]

7. What kind of work is available?

[Truebrit71sbruv]

10. Well the economy is booming more than somewhat here...

... so there's work in all sectors...

Denmark is perceived as something of a beacon of economic, social and political synergy...

The taxes hurt like all hell - but then we have a public transport system that works, health-care that is second to none and social/education policies that ensure a very level playing field.

Plus we get to eat a lot of pork - so pork-farming is VERY big here... :rofl:

[obxhead]

13. ROFL

You would think America had the monopoly on the pork... :rofl:

[Truebrit71sbruv]

14. HAHA

too right... or would that be the porky-pies? (lies in cockney-rhyming-slang)...

[obxhead]

15. You're almost there now.

Been a pleasure to meet you. :hi:

[Truebrit71sbruv]

16. Yup... right on the cusp!

And it's been a real pleasure meeting you too! Thanks for the help!

:hi::hug:

3. 15 to go until 400

What is your favorite animal?

[Truebrit71sbruv]

6. ummmm.... fave animal is...

8. How did you find DU?

And what is it that interests you about this screwed up political system we have in this crazy country?

[Truebrit71sbruv]

11. I found DU through my brother...

... who strangely enough is truebrit71... he lives in Illinois, and being a pretty politcally aware family he pointed me in this direction a while back - and to ensure our conversations are as animated as possible, it's a good thing for me to follow what's happening stateside so I can understand wtf he's talking about when he calls to rant.

I also think it worthwhile the DUers understanding that their cause and concerns are shared worldwide - that we Europeans are not all cheese-eating surrender monkeys but aware, focused and opinionated individuals in our own right.

Let's face it, DUers and the rest of the world are generally united in a loathing of the Bushistas and everything they represent.

9. I visited Denmark this past spring

Copenhagen, Odense, Ribe, Fredrichsborg Slot....

You have a beautiful country and I really liked all the bike paths on the roads.

:hi:

[Truebrit71sbruv]

12. Wow... you got to do a fair old bit of traveling

... although the country is only a wee bit larger than a postage stamp.

It is very beautiful indeed... and yes it is literally possible to cycle from one end of the country to the other on bike-paths (except across the Storbaelt, the 20 mile stretch of water separating the islands of Fyn and Sjaelland, where it gets kinda damp...)

[LaurenG]

17. 1 More

Ohio screwed the country or did the republicans screw Ohio?

[Truebrit71sbruv]

18. From my distant viewpoint...

... I'd say the latter...

If it weren't Ohio that became the state in the spotlight, some other "crunch" state would have become the whipping-boy.

Ohio didn't screw the country... the feckin' eejits with testicles for brains and jello for hearts did that in all states that returned a red-colour.

If the the more ignorant "reflex-voters" had actually had the intellect to open their minds to all the issues, and see the lies for what they really were - then the political map of the States would be a different colour entirely.

The blame for the fact that Bushco still infest the political spectrum with their brand of double-think and hypocrisy does not lie at the door of a single state. :)

[Truebrit71sbruv]

19. And actually... ~laughing~....

... I'm glad it was a post discussing a more genuine political point that got me over the 400 mark!!!

Thanks for the question! :D

[LaurenG]

20. And congratulations 400 or so posts!!!!

May you post many, many 1000's more!:bounce:

[Truebrit71sbruv]

22. Yaaaaaaaay!

:woohoo:

Thank you! :toast:

And ta everso for the help getting there. Whether this is a warning or something to look forward to... I will indeed be making many, many, many more posts in the future... some might even prove to be coherent... :rofl:

[Twillig]

21. Do you share your brother's attitude re:

Schumacher?

[Truebrit71sbruv]

23. What that he's an...

... over-rated, over-paid, championship-stealing, weird-mouthed, arrogant, unpleasant, full-o-shite, "ohmygodIwannajustpunchhiminthemouth", pain-in-the-arse, tedious, annoying, sauerkraut-guzzling, gerbil-fucker?





















Generally..... yes... :evilgrin:

[truebrit71]

24. You mean that pointy-chinned, dirty, chopping, cheating bastard?

...Yeah, we BOTH feel that same way about that gnome..... :grr:

[Metta]

25. Congrats, brit. Keep it up.
