Thank you for being gracious enough to put numbers in there.

Hahaha!
My brother once broke his arm, jumping off the sofa trying to fly. :/

Brilliant. 
Quote: WrongTale @ August 18 2008, 12:36 PM BSTIt really depends. I have seen pictures of some bleak and horrible places, and they turned out to be from London.
BTW, the scenes from Only Fools and Horses opening titles look positively Soviet. The high rise buildings and the apartment, oh man, sooooo familiar.
Ha! Touche, Mr Wrongtale!!

A lot of that 1960s-ish architecture has heavy Soviet influence. Very much function over form. Check out the Trellick Tower.

That's what Minty off Eastenders would be called if he lost some of his sight.
Do you get it?
Quote: WrongTale @ August 18 2008, 12:30 PM BSTNot really. Mafia all but died out or went (semi)legal at the end of 1990s... or left the country. These days the only mafia to fight is sitting in the government
We do get visits from East from time to time, but they are few and far between. The violent crimes of 1990s - racketeering, etc. - are pretty much a thing of the past. Naturally, it's not a crime-free country, far from it, but it really isn't that bad anymore.I've been to UK once only, in 1997. Spent 10 days there and I will definitely visit it again.
Cheers Wrongtail, that's interesting. I last went to Russia in the mid nineties and it was how you described. Everyone was very friendly though. Have they sorted out the hospitals?
See Aaron - I knew he didn't live in the UK, I just assumed other people do travel to other countries on holiday
...except in the UK, I guess, it is the lowest step, apart from living on the street.
For a Soviet family an apartment in such highrise was the most desirable place to live ...apart from building your own home, but it was next to impossible to build such, unless you were a high ranking official).

Edit: Hm. Tail is not also a rude word in English, is it? Inneresting.
Now THERES an accent!

You're welcome to them, you pasty pickled egg muncher.

Where are Minty's storylines recently?
I've noted that no-one else can spin a pen around their thumb and therefore I declare myself the winner. Obviously. (See sig for details.)
