| wim commented on 04.10.13 | | 127 goes to vogon. I am sure he would have liked it. It's his sixth. Second in the gaps between two duops, second gap in duops first is 59 between 25 and 26 |

| Salinger commented on 10.04.05 | | ND - if that fails you can always send a letter. |

| Nancy Dumpling commented on 10.04.05 | | Always best to get shouty at these times I find. But with a smile on your face. The good natured yet forceful approach does the trick.... |
|
|
| ragnhild commented on 10.04.05 | | So what you're saying is that I just need more practice? |
|
|
| Salinger commented on 10.04.05 | | The foreigner must learn to understand her place in the queue and to call out her order at the exact time. It is a fine art I'll grant you.. |
|
|
| ragnhild commented on 10.04.05 | | salinger, i've experienced an additional rule regarding pub queuing: Foreigners are always served last, when all the Brits arriving after her have been served... |

| Smart Set commented on 10.04.05 | | Title repetition! See #7817. |

| Vogon3 commented on 09.30.05 | | Never saw it happen but when I parked it was not there 20 mins later when I came back it was |
|
|
| DVD Dan commented on 09.30.05 | | How did you know V3. Did you see it dumped or was it still warm? |
|
|
| pb commented on 09.30.05 | | no 2, V3 - well done, only a few to go..... |
|
|
| Vogon3 commented on 09.29.05 | | I can't remember But I think it was because it had just been dumped |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 09.29.05 | | Why this title, V3? |
|
|
| Rebecca commented on 09.29.05 | | And roundabouts seem weird to me. C'est la vie. |
|
|
| Vogon3 commented on 09.29.05 | | we do not have those 4 way stops here they are weird. we have roundabouts to sort that prob out |
|
|
| Rebecca commented on 09.29.05 | | Interesting. Kind like our four-way stops. Except we run into problems because the majority of us apparently can't count to four. |

| Salinger commented on 09.29.05 | | Queueing in England, some advice for Dan - "As everyone knows, the English love queuing up for things. George Mikes wrote in his book "How to be an Alien" that "an Englishman, even if he is alone forms an orderly queue of one". Anyone who jumps a queue in a shop or post office is treated to stern tutting, even complaints like, "Do you mind, I was before you". But at the bar of an English pub, there is what Kate Fox calls an "invisible queue". In Europe or America you sit at your table in a bar and a waiter serves you your drinks. In the English pub however, you have to just go up and wait at the bar, hoping to catch the bar person's eye. By studying what actually happens, Kate discovered that there is actually a very subtle and precise form of queuing going on. Everyone, staff and customers alike know exactly who is next: the person who reached the counter before you will be served before you, and any attempt to get served out of turn will be ignored by the bar staff and severely frowned upon by other customers." |

| Rebecca commented on 09.29.05 | | We can all learn second languages via cassette tape while we do so. It'll be a great thing for everybody. |
|
|
| DVD Dan commented on 09.29.05 | | Well before the roll out us Yanks will need extensive lessons in the fine art of queuing. |
|
|
| Rebecca commented on 09.29.05 | | Okay that's it. Health care and good tea is good enough for me. I'll write Georgie today. |
|
|
| Vogon3 commented on 09.29.05 | | its free for everyone |
|
|
| Rebecca commented on 09.29.05 | | I had a funny thought - what if we went back to being a British colony - would we be better off? How is the health care system over there? |
|
|
| Vogon3 commented on 09.29.05 | | and remember 33 of the US matts are mine |
|
|
| Rebecca commented on 09.29.05 | | I get it. Never mind me, I haven't had enough sleep. |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 09.29.05 | | The 5 submissions listed as being from the UAE are really UK ones - location errors. |
|
|
| Rebecca commented on 09.29.05 | | The United Arab Emirates? Oh really. Any mattresses on the Falklands? |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 09.29.05 | | Not when you include Scotland, Wales and the United Arab Emirates. |
|
|
| Uncle Sam commented on 09.29.05 | | You two Brit's may have the lead but the overall US count is higher. |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 09.29.05 | | Ignore him, V3, he's insane but harmless. |
|
|
| Scart Set commented on 09.29.05 | | Yes, I am SS's evil twin. From my secret HQ in a hollowed-out mattress, I mean volcano, behind Acton high street I am observing Vogon3, awaiting my chance to eeleeminate him. |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 09.29.05 | | Well done on going up to #2. Should we call you V2 now? Somewhere in that big push, the UK proper has overtaken the USA. |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 09.29.05 | | I'm sorry, that last remark was written by Scart Set, who is my evil twin. |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 09.29.05 | | Seize him! |
|
|
| DVD Dan commented on 09.29.05 | | Keep this pace up and I think someone will be cutting their holiday short. |
