    I'm not saying it doesn't get busy. I use public transportation in Paris every day. However it does have much better coverage, better infrastructures, better technology and is in constant progress to improve what is already good.

    Oh...dear...you didn't look very closely at the map...their actually bulldozing your entire village to make way for the media center annex and reserve reporter parking.

    Don’t worry though; they have plans to relocate you to a little known piece of Palestine that the British government still owns. I’m sure you’ll be very happy with your new neighbors.

    Its not too hard getting around London, just don't go at 7-9am and 5-7pm. There is a technique, its just really hard to use .

    I <u>will</u> be a bit **** off if there suddenly is thousands of those tacky merchandise shops springing up all over the place. I saw a "My friend went to London and all I got was this shirt" and could help but shudder.


    P.S. I might sig the Joan of Arc thing here

    How many do you think they would have sold if it were in Paris? 1% more?




    The olympics should come to Wisconsin. We've got cows....and lakes... and there's a few stadiums and stuff here. Not much in the way of traffic problems, really, either. We're like Salt Lake City - except colder and we grow our own grass (and our lakes are filled with PCBs, not salt).



    And those French turned her over to the Burgundians who turned her over to the English, who burned her.

    I'd have to say it was all pretty much downhill after that little Napoleon incident, myself.

    Good for those living in England. I don't live in England, never been to England and probably won't go to England.

    I really hope no one died but considering one went off in a bus, another in the undergrounds I think there is no other option.
