Obama Palin and Abortion

There are so many "born again" religious nuts over here it's ridiculous. On the day of the election I was leaving the gym, and I had my Obama shirt on. This guy that I had exchanged pleasantries with on more than one occasion accosted me in the parking lot, and goes "well you know that he's pro-choice" and I go "uh yeah, and so am I, and I also know that Sarah Palin is a whack job, since she believes that all abortion should be illegal even in the case of rape and incest. And he goes, well life begins at conception. I lost it then and said well I'm sorry but it doesn't to me, and women have rights and if a female has been subjected to rape or incest and gets pregnant she should have the right to get rid of the abomination within her. He told me that I would likely go to hell for saying that, and hasn't spoken to me since- asshole. I literally see him about 4 times a week, and every time I say hi he just looks at me. People are REALLY passionate on both sides of the abortion issue over here. What pisses me off is that they make everything either political or religious. Part of the reason why Bush won in 2004 is because middle America were worried that if gay rights were to succeed America would go to hell in a handbasket. The religious right is VERY VERY dangerous over here. I don't know if you have ever heard of Rush Limbaugh? He's this right wing talk radio whack job who is a bastard hypocrite. He is fat as fuck, and a couple of years ago addicted to prescription painkillers, he forced his Phillipino housekeeper to get them in her name, so that he wouldn't be found out. I hate his guts. He was an analyst on this American Football show, and he gotlet go because he made these racist remarks about a black quarterback, on live national TV. Anyway, he is basically the de facto leader of the Republican party, since they are in such disarray, which is a joke, because he's a fucking radio host. During the election he said that the only reason Colin Powell voted for Obama is because he is black, and his latest rant is that he hopes Obama fails.

Barak is Black and we are Jedi Knights

I thought that was the point of Obama-that he was black-it meant change from anything ever known before and that was good.Though I did read that if Obama was to become President of Kenya, his fathers homeland, as opposed to his mothers, would he be considered the 1st white candidate with a realistic cahnce of victory. I will look up this Rush bloke. Sarah Palin was the scariest thing I have seen in years. I used to scream everytime she came on the tv and hide my face.

We are so anti religion, N's Mum is huge Catholic and he so anti, he would not even help out with the organisation of the christenings! He watched me struggle, and said I was a hypocrite, but I was quite open about it being a party and a life event and something you neededto avoid doing it at 30... nothing worse than a convert. We see alot about m,iddle america and religious nuts. They are scary people.......and creationism!!!!!!We put that we were Jedi knights on the census last time, following a ralley call via email, and because there were over 30,000 who put it down, it had to be legally recognised as an official religion.

US Guests staying in UK

I have had a black American staying here for Ns Sisters wedding to a bloke from Philedelphia called T. Ts sister had married a bus driver, TJ,and he kept apologising for them both before they turned up. C, Ns sister had worked in Germany and the day before the wedding we had the Germans and the Americans at ours for a drink....everyone behaved as their characatures-TJ was loud, brash and treated everyone like they were sad because they were not from US and kept talking about his bus route (but said ROWT) All but 1 German ignored us talking german to each other accross us- IN MY OWN HOUSE. I sort of excused them trying to keepthe peace til I found out one of them was an English teacher and was fluent.
Ts sister and bus driver husband were very big hearted but I dont know where they thought they had come to-She put her shitty toilet paper in the bin because she had heard we didnt flush. They had a daughter, A and I had made her a little bed on the floor of their room. She told me Ns cat shat in the room, so I said I dont deal with the cat and gave her some cleaning stuff, apologising profusely of course, but when we went in to tidy after they had gone, the pile of shit was still there AND I KID YOU NOT, it was right by where her kids head had rested on her pillow.
I took them to Wales and they just kept saying Geez, theres so many sheep. I was bleedin exhausted when it was all over.

US Black

Black people in this country are a seriously different breed from any that I have ever dealt with anywhere. I mean you get those that are educated and have travelled, but there are a lot of ignorant, ghetto ass people over here. The lingo and the jargon still have me cracking up, and their ignorance of world history and geography knows no bounds. My cousins are the perfect example. Their friends used to ask me what language we spoke in England! I love 'em though, they crack me up, and they all have hearts of gold.

American Nigerian Devon Accent

You may not have an accent but you have some lingo like-'right now' I want to see you home- we either see amazing political marble buildings, smart town houses for journalists or the boarded up run down black areas...we hear washington is the most dangerous city in the US? Are you close to Nigerian family? I like immigration- I wanted to be a refugee co-ordinator once.

Do you have to buy a pacvkage to be able to watch the European games? Never mind the premiership, what about them winning the champions league? Ready steady teaddy. Do you love Beckham.

As for that fat cow Carla Gallstone, I saw her at R's play school at pick up time one morning. She said ' oh hello there stranger, is R yours?' and then to her son' R's Mum and I were friends at school' I said' I dont think so, come on R' and she said something about my manners not changing and I said 'likewise luv' I asked R if he was friend swith the kid, and he said,' no hes a bit silly ike a baby' so that was that. I STILL REMEMBER EVERYTHING THAT EVIL BITCH SAID BELIEVED AND DID. It was just before he was going to proper school anyway. I will tell you what. She was not thin. They always put up their thin picture dont they, these lonely nasty bastards.

I agree with the one a day job.

Liverpool were brilliant

Liverpool were brilliant. Unfortunately 2 boys and a husband support them, but of course I hate them. We used to have a red sofs, and still have a blue one-and I would be sittung on the blue one on my own while those 3 squeezed onto the red. Then I bought a fawn sofa bed

How did you know that key would fit the Tuck Shop

I howled for 10 minutes about the tuck cupboard key.How the hell do you 'realise' the key fits? It was fantastic. Not just the chocolate, but doing them over was a great feeling.

Accents,David Beckhamand being a Foreigner

Yeah, there's plenty of lingo that I have picked up, and even though I don't think that I have an accent, I actually do. One of my friends from London came to visit me last year, and he said I sound as though I have been dropped in the middle of the Atlantic!LOVE David Beckham!!! I mean LOVE him, my American friends just roll their eyes when I start talking about him. A few weeks after he came to the LA Galaxy, he came to DC United, I managed to get a ticket but it was sold out. He scored against us to, a great free kick of course. DC United are one of the most supported teams because there are a ton of hispanics in the DC area. Plus, they won the Championship several years in a row when it first started.

I still have a very loud obnoxious laugh, and I am still loud and obnoxious period, it got me into a lot of trouble when I first moved here, because I refuse to be diplomatic for the sake of it, and Americans want to be politically correct about everything - fuck 'em. The nice thing about being at the market every weekend is that most of the vendors are foreign or black, and I appreciate the diversity.
No, I don't have to subscribe to a package to get the footie. I have cable tv, and it comes with the Fox Soccer Channel, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch. I get to see Sky Sports news at Noon and at 7pm every day. On Saturdays they show the live Premier League games, but we are 5 hours behind here, and I am at the market, I sometimes record the games, but I can't resist checking on my phone to see the results anyway, which kind of defeats the purpose. Sometimes the commentators are American and I have to switch the sound off because they can't pronounce the names right and it's so annoying, plus they don't know shit about football. The Champions League games are on ESPN, so FSC can't broadcast them. I also get to watch Dream Team which I LOVE, of course we're at least a couple of years behind. I also get to watch Eastenders (6 years behind!!) No Corrie unfortunately. We have BBCAmerica here too, but most of the shows are a piece of shit. I can watch most of the Brit TV series through Netflix DVD's which come in the mail. As far as food goes, I can get a lot of stuff here, more expensive, but worth it. The only thing that I can't get that I miss is Galaxy, but I have a customer who goes to the UK every couple of months and brings me back chocolate. Do you remember when I realised that Sarah's tuck box key opened the door to the tuck cabinet? We stole so much shit out of there. ROFL, that is hysterical.

Its 1 email a day

OK, we can only send each other one long email a day, otherwise we are going to spend all day on the internet, and I know we don't have time for that. Yeah, I still hate Liverpool, but I am so happy that ManU have been so dominant. Jeez, when Utd won the Premier League the first time I got totally trashed at work with a bunch of the guys, and we just closed the office down at noon on the Monday and spent the rest of the day at the pub across the street, it was AWESOME!

I really, really love America, and living here over the past few months with the whole Obama thing has been incredible. I was so freaking happy after that bastard Bush fucked up the country.

I saw Carla Gallstone on here, but I am not friending her, she looks like she's skinny though. I also saw Jayne on here, looks like she's been married a couple of times.

Anyway, that's enough for today, you have no idea how happy I am that you contacted me, I had been searching for you.

Oh My God !!!!!

OHMYGOD!!!! Do you know I have looked and looked and looked for you on here. I am living in the US now, and have been for the past 15 years. I love it here, and will think about moving back to the UK when I retire, because healthcare stinks here.

OMG I still cannot believe it. I am single, no kids, and currently no man. I work for myself knitting and crocheting can you believe it. But I was a paralegal before I quit my job 4 years ago.

Wow did not know that about Ranieri. That bitch made my life hell at Dovecote, but I wouldn't have wished that on her. Still as they say over here, "God don't like ugly!"

OH MY GOD I FOUND YOU LOLA

OH MY GOD HAVE I REALLY FOUND YOU? Great picture Lola. Its Margaret here but I am using this name on facebook. Do you know Mrs Ranieri died of a wasp bite on her tongue. God works in mysterious ways my friend.
My kids have been saying for ages I should look for you on one of these things. I would love to know how you are. We drove passed Collumpton last year and I was telling my boys about you sliding down the wall at the Dovecote summer ball. How we laughed.
