So they are. My bad :(

Wow, had no idea we'd get a couple whole pages out of that.

Part of the reason it wasn't great was because it was a student trip, so to make it as cheap as possible they ate at really cheap places, and for some reason most of the places booked had this really boring chicken. The vegetarians told me that the food they got was so much better.

Okay, English breakfasts look fantastic, I'll admit. Except for the beans. Eww beans.

Eww beans indeed.

Also, isn't English Breakfast a type of tea?

No, I don't think so. I like the sound of English tea more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_(meal)#United_Kingdom

Yes, there is a type of tea known as English Breakfast. I suspect because it's traditionally drunk at breakfast in England, but as a non-tea drinker I can't be sure.

Oh this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Breakfast_tea

Do most English people have tea (meal) daily?
It sounds better than the breakfast.

Speaking for myself (at a boarding school), yes we do, but it's become more of a symbol than a meal. We don't go through the
whole process of sitting down with all this lot: (I wish we did though!)



But I know that between 3:30 and 5:00 pm many cups of tea are drunk...

I couldn't comment on whether or not it's better than the breakfast, all I will say is this - bacon conquers all. But, as ever, so does tea. :huh:

In some parts of the country the evening meal is referred to as tea rather than dinner. Eating tea as in the tea & scones business as a separate meal is usually a rare event rather than a daily thing.

You all have dinner very early. People over here mostly don't have dinner before 8pm. (Or sometimes before 9pm.)

At home it's not unusual for us to have dinner at 8-ish. That's fairly late compared to most of the country, though. At uni dinner time is 6:30, though it's not entirely uncommon (at home or at uni) for me to be eating dinner as my second meal of the day, and have something else a few hours later before going to bed.

Here some people have it at about 1:30 but I have mine in between 5:00 - 6:00 but I have it at about 11pm every now and again.

So Osama Bin Laden is dead.

Say what you will about Obama, but he does have style XP

Awesome.

A lot of reporters seem to mix up Obama and Osama.

"The strike team were airlifted in to take out Obama."

"We will shortly hear from Osama."

Beware dumb journalists.

Yeah, my teacher told us that Obama was dead this morning, only to realize about 10 seconds later when she continued to talk and we just stared at her. It only took about an hour for the kid who believes that aliens built the pyramids and that the government is hiding the cure for cancer to start theorizing. *facepalm*

This is definitely good news, but I'm wondering why they didn't try to get information from him before killing him. Also, now that he's been found in a house out in the (relative) open instead of hiding out in the mountains, that raises quite a few questions about the Pakastani government/military as well.

Also, why does Obama keep having to overshadow our federal elections? :P

Hehe. What sometimes makes it more funny for me is the seriousness with which conspiracy theorists tell their crazy ideas. :)

They opened fire on the Americans, so they had little choice but to kill him (I suppose). Bin Laden would have resisted capture or something. And even if he was caught, he wouldn't have cooperated. I think it is best they killed him.

Well, yeah, it is impossible for Bin Laden to stay so near the Pakistani military academy for 6 years without them knowing. But I really doubt (and I would be very surprised) if the Pakistan government (at least the higher echelons) was involved. The army (which also heads the intelligence service, the ISI) has more powers than the government and there are many sections there (not everyone) who are sympathetic to the terrorists. [Before, I used to think it was mainly against Indian-based terrorists organizations (because India is their enemy number 1 and it doesn't give them billions of dollars in aid), but it looks increasingly like it is involved with other terrorists organizations too.] But the government there is mostly fine; weak but innocent. My belief. At least there has never been any direct proof of their involvement in such activities.

Another Osama joke I read: They should have captured Osama alive. And then they should have made him undergo security checks at airports for the rest of his life.
xD!

We all know one, don't we? Pete and I have both been complaining about the idiot conspiracy theorists we know going on about it...
