Glad you had a good time here in BE land. Come again sometime. Fries are much better than Mcd's. Belgian waffles, yeah those are hard to beat! Should have had your self something called oliebol/smoutebollen. Basically doughnut mix scooped out in ball shape and fried like a doughnut. Don't forget to "mind the gap" in London. Now its chips instead of frits or fries. And God s(h)ave the Queen. ID: 65976 · Rating: 0 · rate: /

They are all the same idea but I am sure the dough is slightly different in each area. I know in Louisiana they are sweet, while here in Virginia they are not but are delicious with jelly on them!!

Based upon recent legal news: 1. New avatar 2. Adding signature line I think it is because Sony is disabling the 'other OS' "feature" in thier Playstations. That means that if you ever upgrade your PS3, which apparently you must do to play a new game, you can never again boot into Linux and crunch with that machine. I do not have a PS3 so can't answer directly but this what I gather from what I have heard. It seems silly to me on Sony's part, many groups have been buying the PS3 just to crunch with. Heck the US Air Force just bought 336 of them and are NOT playing games with them!! They are setup in a cluster for "The Air Force used the PS3 cluster to stitch multiple radar images into higher resolution composite images, video processing, and building computers with brain-like properties."

Actually if President Obama keeps 'redistributing the wealth' here in the US, we may become a PART of the USSR! Or maybe even Mexico!! South America could just become America if they don't do something about the illegal, sorry 'undocumented', border crossings!
