To hell with Stern. CD quality music with no commercials and no FCC dictating what I can listen to - If I didn't illegally download all my music, I would pay for it.

Ron, I haven't listened to Howard Stern in a very long time. But I do like the idea of satellite radio!

I only just recently jumped on the iPod bandwagon, so I'm starting to get behind in my technology.
I'd love to have a satellite radio, and probably will get one when the price of the receivers gets low enough. If I'm going to pay a monthly service fee, I at least want a cheap player.
I have never listened to Howard Stern and have no plans to. Ever. Even if he came to my front door, I wouldn't open it.

You have to have things for the less intelligent amongst us to be entertained by...Howard Stern, FOX News, Jerry Springer etc...Not everybody is capable of deep thought or reason.

That's true and an especially important observation since few still amongst us stand so far elevated that they cannot find some entertainment value there.

Dblf, watch out for them English buyers if they were to tell you that if they are ever in the States they will come and 'knock you up.' That means something different to them.

yes, classic, and they also refer to what we commonly call cookies, as biscuits. When the hubby was first in the army a friend of his relayed to me that one night when they were deployed somewhere he said, "man, I'm so hungry, I gotta get some biscuits or something", and he was wondering to himself where the hel1 he thought he was going to get biscuits at that hour!! lol.

I wonder how much trouble has been caused by that FAG thing too.
'Ere I am, sitting on me bum, thinkin bout me mum puffin on a fag and eatin biscuits! Crickey, I'm a sad old git!
Ah, Brits. At least they gave us Monty Pyhon.

The same person that doesn't know the differece between Sirius Satellite Radio and Sirrus.
Absolute faith has been shown, consistently, to breed intolerance. And intolerance, history teaches us, again and again, begets violence.

The duty of a patriot in this time and place is to ask questions, to demand answers, to understand where our nation is headed and why. If the answers you get do not suit you, or if they frighten you, or if they anger you, it is your duty as a patriot to dissent. Freedom does not begin with blind acceptance and with a flag. Freedom begins when you say 'No.'

Aren't biscuits called rolls and scones are called scones, and hot cross buns are hot cross buns, and elevators are lifts, and bangers and mash are sausage and mashed potatoes.
BTW.. I have an excellent recipe for scones.

the bathroom is called the loo. When I was a kid I went to europe and met a guy in a bar and we were talking and he asked me if I had a room with a loo and I said no, there's just me nobody named Lou. He thought that was pretty funny I guess.

A wrench is called a spanner. My daughter's boyfriend from England stopped at a gas station to use a "spanner". That was pretty funny too.

So what is a tart, a chippie and a cheerio?
