What are the choices?

Essentially European v American studies. The European one looks better but it contains exams while American is continuous assessment. I hate exams hence the dilemma.

Well, yes if you want to live alone, which I much rather would, then you’ll either be living in a matchbox or somewhere miles out like Forest Gate or something. Or else earn about 10 grand a year more than I currently do, and I’m not even on that bad a wage.

Forest Gate sounds nice. Google images soon betrays that.

No choice here. America all the way.

The world's most amazing and fucked up place.

A social experiment on an epic scale.

A couple of years back I would have agreed wholeheartedly but of late I've become more and more of a Europhile.

Whatever floats for you, guy.

You don't have to love somewhere to be fascinated by it though.

I hate Nazis and Stalin but could read about them all day.

European studies all the way, fuck America. Do a thesis on Hitler.

I like idea of a guy with a big crush Vlad Putin studying American Exceptionalism and Manifest Destiny

Why is there a McDonald's in Red Square?

True, Europhile was likely the wrong expression to use.
The US is undoubtedly fascinating but I don't think I know enough about Europe so should probably attempt to rectify that. Anyway, I have till the 19th to decide so will likely wait till the last minute and impulsively pick one or the other.
As for uncle Joe....

Because Yeltsin and Gorbachev betrayed the heroes of the revolution. The pigs.

Communism doesn't really seem to have worked in application.

It still boggles my mind that 250 years ago, America didn't exist, more or less

I am very sorry for your troubles, Bernie

London sounds fucking awful

London’s fine. I’m just very particular about my living situation.

Don't listen to him it's a fucking hell hole from which there is no escape.

China is still running.

It sounds rainy, crowded, unhappy and mean.

Which is how I remember it.

In disclosure, I am not well- disposed to the Sasanach.

And pretentious, pig ignorant, too fucking big and fucking boring.

China is still running.

A country run by billionaires?

Not a knock on it, but it's hardly communist. Just a single party government with ultimate power.
I stand to be corrected.

I hear ya but when people say China isn't communist I always chuckle inside.

Like most democracies aren't essentially two parties of exactly the same privileged fuck bags to begin with

The USSR?

For the record, I'm not a commie, I do like their art though.

Bunch of rich guys running a country

Such is the way of the world.

I often wonder which state was the most truly communist. I'll have to look into that.

Show the RCD Switch this thread

Update! Electrician dude called out. He had to replace the main RCD. I had done everything else right, had all the plugs unplugged etc, and was able to talk about switches and trips etc. I'm not quite a 60 watt male, but winged the conversation enough to appear like a 40 watter.

€100 quid all the same
