Alex, nice one! :-) But...

Also, we had a problem with Tony Blair personally, as he is so overtly stupid.

Excuse me, isn't the US the country that brought us JFK (corrupt and shagged anything in a skirt), Nixon (corrupt but a non-shagger), Reagan (paranoid right-wing dummy) and Clinton (corrupt and a shagger again), plus the recent Tweedledum and Tweedledee show? As far as stupid leaders go then, "Oi kettle, you're black!"

Tax-wise, our fuel prices deter unnecessary use of cars. This means that we don't get out our 7-litre SUV to drive ourselves 20 yards down the road to the shops. This has the knock-on effect that most British ppl are in pretty good shape physically, unlike American where a clear _majority_ are overweight. "Who ate all the pies..."

Wavestar, a suggestion - rugby players have to be able to run around, even the forwards, and they have to be able to keep this up for 80 minutes continuously. American football players have to be able to keep going for 10 seconds max. Does this suggest anything about required fitness levels?

Grab.
