Starbucks?!? C'mon they don't drink that weak-assed poor excuse for coffee in Europe. You obviously haven't been in a while. There seems to be more of them there than here. Anyway, you can have my Cote du Rhone when you pry it out of my cold drunken fingers. //Walt |

"AstroPax" wrote in message Then I guess you are not very intelligent, because it's really irrelevant where something is made or grown, because they are all products of US companies, and therefore, they symbolize America. Oh... So, if the company has a branch or office in the US, then the product symbolizes America? ****. That really takes the shine off the new (obSki) Volkls. |

They had the colossal gall to not take orders direct from GWB, so they must be slagged at every opportunity. Didn't you get the memo?

Barf! Astro, I have criticisms of the French but I dislike what I see as knee-jerk French bashing. I could never hate a country with that much culinary expertise. Britain, on the other hand, is a culinary waste land.... Jeff |

Someone said it'd improved since then, which I believe, as it couldn't get worse. god it was horrible. We'd go to Pizza Hut just to get the salad. I'm not joking.

The breakfasts is the worst stuff. Quite often we eat in at my bil's house so there's a Dutch twist to our meals there as well. When we go out for dinner is usually at their favorite Indian place, that's real good. Most of the times we've gone out to dinner it's been good, meaty stuff. Not particularly imaginative or anything. Meat, gravy, potatoes, and (something that would make scatty move there) spotted dick (he'd be disappointed to find out it's a pudding type desert). |

We actually did send a couple of ships to the first Gulf War, but they broke down enroute and never made it there. Really. |
