No - this forum is in danger of becoming a slanging match between Brits and Yanks. Let's keep it civilised old bean!

Mr Neilep almost started something by having a poke at lovely old Essex but the famous English restraint and sense of fair play prevailed and all sat down together for a lovely cuppa rosey lee.
Phew that was close[;)]

Competiton time - what's my new signature all about?
An assault rifle gift-set for the winner[:D]

Nah pop no style, a strictly roots!

..Because when we travel we want to have fun.. so we are never there anyway??

Seriously, people are the same all over, it's not demographic.  There are assholes and great people in every country.

I think you Brits are still bitter over the whole colonial revolt.  Want your tea back?  =P

However, I would like to apologize on behalf of us Americans that AREN'T douchebags for the behavior of the rest of our countrymen.

You guys want to ban us?  Aw, and I was going to make a visit.  But if I'm not welcome...
Actually, I have an ex stepdaughter that is in London, and I wouldn't blame you guys for banning her.  I wish I could ban her from the states.

Spot on Neil,

It's from Uptown top Rankin' by Althea and Donna. The more modern reggae and pop I hear, the more I yearn for the good old "Roots Reggae".  Being a wise old sage of forty-one, I think I've heard it all... and then heard the cover versions of it all. We desperately need something new to come along but all we get is totty, Country totty, classical totty, Celtic totty,  nice to look at but it don't move music along one inch. I live in hope, every now and then the music biz goes stale and along comes someone to give it all a shake, Elvis, Jerry Lee, the Beatles, Sex pistols, Nirvana....
I'm waiting......


Mike
