    :eek: I did exactly the same for mine on the shops! But I doubt Four Lane Ends shops would attract many visitors from the USA or Australia (even with a Tesco Express, Daves Barbers, a Barclays, 2 newsagents, and a Kwik Fit Garage) so I used a Newcastle A-Z.

    Lol, the exam today was on shit loads of bollex like. There was quotations from martin luthar king etc and we had to write what they ment, then we had to write an article about basic human needs, then i fucked the last question up, it was one where we had to choose one out of three, and i chose one about how the press can influence people to believe what they want you to believe and used the Michael Jackson documentry as an example, but then read part B which was a follow on from part A but didnt have a clue what they were asking me to do, so i had to cross part A out and start another question:(

    :lol: Awww! Ours was on that Tony Martin guy who shot the burglar! Oh wait...I completely fucked up on my previous post lol! That application of number and ict shit was Key Skills (another pointless thing that put pressure on you)...General studies was Economics, English, and Maths wasn't it? Yes! We had English and Maths first then the Economics one in June was the one about Drugs and I rambled on about Tony Blair!

    :dunce:

    I think I drink too much....losing my memory at the tender age of 18 :rolleyes: (19 on Thursday woohoo family outing to that Italian restaurant down the road we go to for everyones birthdays!)

    Err, I think that they may be telling porkies there somehow, or are we not including any of the third world?

    Well if you consider the amount of Indian, Pakistani, Saudi households etc in and around London then that fact is probably true. You know, since the whole family tends to live under the same roof.

    As for a pointless fact about Norway. Did you know that is where the Geordie language partly originates. Actually, don't quote me on this coz I may be wrong, but I'm under the impression that phrases such as 'am ganin yem' is actually Viking for.... well you know what it means I hope.

    & as for that TV programme. Surely if there were a national strike, then a lot of the smaller businesses would just close for the day and the larger ones would have prepared to shorten the workforce. That way, not as many traffic jams, less aeroplane cancellations, no plane crashes and no old people dying in there cars.

    Yeah i was in scotland then, it was mental, none of the petrol stations were open cos all the fuel was sent daaaahhn saaaff.

    No delivery vehicles could get food up here supermarkets ran out of fresh food, bread milk n stuff. Everyone was queued up for fresh food while i was stock piling drink!! (Priority no1) :lol: Was scary to see how much we rely on fuel to get by. Dont think this country would cope in a major disaster.

    Oh, I'm sorry! You seem to be so stupid you didn't actually notice that wasn't me trying to be funny, I was actually stating a fact. These people have been great for the UK. This is who most of us buy our milk, bread etc from. And guess what Rob? The people I buy from happen to have 9 of them live under the same roof! That would be Grandmother down to Grandkids! Oh! another thing. My girlfriends family just happen to be Persian and guess what Rob? Yes, would you believe it, a lot of her family all live together! So next time you go bad mouthing people, make sure you understand all the facts of what you're replying too. Idiot! :D

    :spangled: I've calmed down now! Sorry Rob, I don't mean to be abusive. Just a bit of impulsive writing. I can see in the way I wrote the comment that people may think I'm trying to be funny, so my fault. :)
