I suspect the PDA is probably a bitmap graphic - hence the reason they dont obey the language selection parameter...

You cant really enjoy Doom 3 even if you had it your native language - its so irritating...

Unscathed - as in the continual air raids, sunk convoys etc etc ? Yes, it was a bit wrong. However, Greenland is certainly isn't - and they're doing okay. Too corrupt; too totalitarian. The member states are too different from each other.

I'm sure WW2 veterans would be happy to hear they didn't go through much... The Republic Of Ireland are doing well, and they aren't in the EU. It should also be noted that England has a better economy that most of the EU zone countries - making the need to join pretty well moot. Yes, with...

Thats to do with trading practices - a slightly different area, and which most companies suffer from. At least the EU does force some good working practices - its just a shame everything else is so cack-handed. Good to hear!

So what are they then ? And if a few days time, Greenland will be leaving the EU - so it'll be interesting to see how they get on.

And I presume allowing no votes is two steps away from a dictatorship ?

Whilst metric conversion was proposed mid 19th century, its the implementation thats been poorly thought out - what should be done is allow metric and imperial measurements to be used interchangeable - unfortunately, because using imperial measurements is illegal (for certain things), it causes...

Have you seen the Top Gear episode where the team (The Hamster, Captain Slow and Clarkson) is in American. If you haven't - well, I wont spoil it for you... Indeed - France was one of two countries that voted against a constitution.

The Queen has agreed to pay taxes on income and capital gains from 1992. We are working on getting the Lords at least partially elected.

I certainly have studied British history, which does seem to be missing from todays school time-table. Indeed, the very city I live in was founded by the Romans - and the city walls are still here - unfortunately messed up by the Victorians, but you cant have everything. In addition, when...

Nope - not that old. However, I do believe the loan repayments to America were rather steep, and we've only just finished paying them. Are you a native of the UK - if so, you would know how much we pay into the EU and how little we get out of it ? Or another hysterical person from the continent ?

And your source is ?

We all know Herr Blair would love to the UK to conpletely join the EU, so he's not likely to want to leave. It would take something like UKIP or possibly the Conservatives (with a bit of pressure). It should also be noted that if/when we do start the leaving process, the EU will make it as...

Countries should be run like countries - provide a service (or many) and make a profit from the purchase of said services. That way there would be no national debt - some money would be saved for any national emergencies, some would be saved for a future time, and a little for any overseas...
