oy , you being sarcaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaastic towards our yankee cousins.....................If American don't have electricity, how will they open tin cans to eat? How will they shave? Open the curtains? Wash? Goodness, this could be a tragedy. They could all end up being pasty, scruffy, and smelly, just like us Brits. Surely this could all be cleared up by someone with his pants on outside of his trousers?
@ Mr. Chris :MrChris wrote:Hmmm, for Black Planet's sake, I should state that I have had a number of American friends, very nice people. Nothing personal. And yes, a heavy, heavy dose of British humour in there (I even managed to call the Brits dirty, smelly and pasty, for those who missed it). Maybe Americans are cursed with a terrible media, but some of the news stories you hear, you just want to go and hit someone with a spanner...It wouldn't matter if these stories came from Bolivia (sorry, any Bolivians listening), but America IS running the planet to all intents and purposes...

You scare me. Does she really give out lots of samples? I love free stuff.Master Margarita wrote:As is the Kiehl's store on third ave. Next time you are there, ask to talk to Lavender. She won't let you leave without a good selection of samples. And, in any event, don't leave without a tube of kiehl's lip balm spf 15 or ultra facial moisturizer.
when i heard about the outage, firstly i thought about people who could be in elevators or in hospitals and whos lives depend on several apparatuses.CorpPunk wrote:
Well, the situation was slightly more serious than that. Take, for instance, my friend's 80-year old grandmother who was without electricity and water for twenty-five hours, and who's family couldn't reach her because there was no public transport running and the streets were clogged with stand-still traffic. Take the thousands of people who were trapped in elevators and subways for up to six hours, in temperatures topping 120 degrees, and who then inundated hospitals that were understaffed because of transport problems, and that were running only on draining generator power. Take the millions of people who couldn't call for help or locate their families, because cell phone lines were overcrowded and landlines were down.
