Ghost's city is so rough, they're thinking of twinning it with Misrata.

He says 10 minutes from one end of town to the other, but that's only when the cops are chasing him.

I doubt I'd go very long on a m/c without falling off. My wife has been trying for years to get me to buy a bike. If I get one, she gets one and I don't want her riding. I'd worry too much.

Anyway, I tell her over the past 20 years I have been involved in over 15 car accidents. Most of which were people crashing into me. Now she wants me on a bike. Why not go shy diving without a parachute?

Now she is pushing for one of those three wheel jobs. Can am or something like that. The one with two wheels in front. I would feel so damn dorky. Kind of like saying, I'm not cool enough for a real motorcycle so I am riding this, plus I have no testicles.

@Roy - I am exactly where my IP puts me. The city I mean. Not in the mountains where my IP points to (oops sorry, now it puts me in the middle of a park). See the freeway in the center? I do drive kind of fast though. Four times bigger. Okay I guess it would take me 30 to 45 minutes to get to the other side of the county. Fair enough.

That and traffic has quadrupled in the last ten or so years. I used to be surround by orchards. Now it's more houses. Say whatever the heck you want. I can still get to Tommy burger and you can't Laughing

I don't run from the cops.

And apparently those lizards don't actually fly:

We need a moderator to tell us to get back on topic. Wink

Topic smopic.

I had to got to Bestbuy which is in the next city over. I timed myself. It took 9 minutes.

Hey I do have a serious question. You said you had to go the PC store. Okay so why don't you guys go to the hospital. Why do you go to hospital? Is there only one?

Posted: Wed Jun 22, 2011 8:07 pm

The PC store is the only one of many (mainly chain stores, no names no packdrill) that won't rip you off. Its just the one I use, I won't name it because it would help someone trying to locate me.

We do say 'going to the hospital' as well as 'going to hospital/prison', whatever. Its a generic thing, easier than naming the hospital. More than that I don't know, but it must be right, they named the language after us.

BTW, W7 is working fine, no crashes or wobblers yet. I've just finished copying 10Gb of Railworks ( a train simulator, very rock'n roll, I know) from the old H/D and I'm off to see if it works.

Ignore RC's answer. He doesn't know what he's talking about.

The UK is a very small country with a population of about 350 (who all personally know the Queen).
One hospital is plenty.

Answer this though: There are 311,609,107 people in the US.
Why do you say that you are going to the restroom?

Posted: Wed Jun 22, 2011 9:25 pm

I wouldn't. I would say "I'm going to take a piss". Then you would ask who I was going to pick on.

Anyway, Tommy burger. You guys are really missing out.

@RC - I just downloaded the show Falling Skies and burned it to a disk. It will only play in the DVD player, not the blu-ray. Now, I just have to go watch it with the wife.

I would say toilet, I don't think I ever heard 'restroom' in RL.

Posted: Wed Jun 22, 2011 10:03 pm

Bathroom or water closet -- or if you are really in a rural area -- "outhouse"

I did. In Egypt. But the location the word was referring to was hardly a place that would give you much rest, let me tell you. Shocked

Posted: Wed Jun 22, 2011 11:39 pm

Most every place has a Men's Room and a Women's Room.

However, recently I have spotted some that have Men's Room, Women's Room and a Family Room.

Restroom is certainly in general use in Australia.

"Dunny" is generally an outhouse.

May your chooks turn into emu's and kick you're dunny down is a well documented insult.

Posted: Thu Jun 23, 2011 2:39 am

I know it as a "washroom"...

Posted: Thu Jun 23, 2011 4:58 am

Well I did say topic smopic Laughing

None of your guys know what a Tommy burger is do you?

Posted: Thu Jun 23, 2011 5:38 am

Is it this???

Posted: Thu Jun 23, 2011 5:46 am

^^I had to look it up too. Very Happy

Now I want one!

They are in Las Vegas. Roadtrip!!!!

Posted: Thu Jun 23, 2011 7:26 am

It's a bad picture but yes that's it. I had to bring something up get you guys to stop thinking of names for bathrooms.

Posted: Thu Jun 23, 2011 7:39 am

OK. Shithouse, crapper, restroom, men's room, ladies room, washroom, dunny, throne-room, head, bog, WC, john, outhouse, etc, etc, etc, whatever.

You Yanks say "I'm going to the...."

Do you have only one of them?

I only ask because if so, we piss all over you (and no Ghost, that doesn't mean the same as "annoy on you"). Even our only UK hospital has a shithouse on every floor (3 counting the basement).

We may not have hundreds of hospitals but at least we have somewhere to take a crap.
Never throw stones if you live in a glass house.
Or have a shit Alienware PC.

Slightly is forgetting about the scheme that George Michael started in an attempt to build smaller hospitals in the more rural areas of the UK -"Cottage Hospitals" - this was after seeing 'Cottages' during is visit to Los Angeles in 1998.

Ah, the OP turns up and dares to mention the topic - why does Eater demand I log in every time, and why doesnt Firefox remember the password?

I have the same issue with my laptop, also using Firefox and Windows 7.

ETA: stuff this, I just installed Opera again...

By the way, you forgot khazi, probably a hangover from the days of the British empire... actually, Wiki says:

Quote:

Lexicographer Eric Partridge derives khazi, also spelt karzy, kharsie or carzey, from a low Cockney word carsey originating in the late 19th century and meaning a privy. Carsey also referred to a den or brothel. It is presumably derived from the Italian casa for house, with the spelling influenced by its similar sound to khaki. Khazi is now most commonly used in the city of Liverpool in the UK, away from its cockney slang roots.[

As a kid, I had a pee in a French market square, on what was basically a vertical piece of boiler plate. Scarred me for life. And while we're at it, what's with men having to wee on something - we cant do it into mid air. At a biker's do, I noticed that everyone who went outside the beer tent for a slash walked 100 yards to the nearest fence - we cant just wee into free space.

Well you just can't properly mark your territory or leave a "RC wuz here" marker in mid-air, can you?

Posted: Thu Jun 23, 2011 11:59 am

But if you have a steady hand and concentrated pee you can write your name in the grass Wink

Posted: Thu Jun 23, 2011 12:34 pm

^^^Um, not me. But I wrote hubby's name in the snow once, in Vermont. Almost. Guess my hand wasn't steady enough. Wink
