    I don't see what all the fuss was about. Or did they forget to pay the Congestion Charge?

    I can't fault the guys on their vehicle choice, as the much smaller Daimler Ferret holds a place in my fantasy garage. I just can't shake the eerie feeling that theirs has been converted to run on patchouli oil.

    Just got back from a week in London. I wouldn't believe anything the media says there. It's all tabloid journalism on par with Weekly World News. I also wouldn't be surprised if the so-called anarchists were just a small group planted to discredit the rest of the protesters.


    Left Heathrow yesterday. You think security in the states is stupid? The security at Heathrow is manned by the borderline retarded and there were 3 security checkpoints to go through, including a full search at the gate for my girlfriend, who was interrogated for a half hour for having 3 small bottles of water from the city of Bath which obviously got through the other 2 checkpoints, without comment. This imbecile never heard of Bath and asked 20 times what country it what is. "England you idiot." Oh and when we got home she realized she had a swiss army knife in her purse that was taken out, looked at, and ignored. Nice country, but run by complete idiots.

    @dolo54 blows minds and blows engines!: They're very peculiar about the pronunciation of Bath. It's sort of like BAAAAARRRRRRTTTHHH. Otherwise they'll pretend to be all Mexican on you. Like a cue ball, you gotta hit 'em just right to arrive at the correct English.

    Later that day the hippies had a full on knock-down drag-out with the hipsters (screaming and scratching and hair pulling, oh my!). The hep cats had to be called in to restore order.

    They should have put a sign on it that says "Not The Police" and then would would have been able to have their fun... Silly Brits always thinking thy can cure the hippie infestation with logical approaches... Give them real jobs and investment strategies, it worked to rid our population here in the states, now they drive Volvos...

    I wonder if the hippies in the riot tank kept yelling, "Damn the man! Save the British Empire!"


    That's what I would have yelled. Then when I saw a hot hippie chick I would say, "Welcome to London, may I service you?"

    See, this is why the hippies have never been a major force in society, man. All this hippie on hippie violence has got to stop, man! They are killing their brothers, man.

    @engineerd: Didn't I hear something about Aphex Twin owning a 6-wheeled roit tank, and something about him living in an old bank in London...


    Was he involved in this? I presume not though, no one said anything about bat-shit-crazy techno or an acid (lsd) cannon...

    The only good hippies are the sexy ones with curly hair who like to dance topless at outdoor music festivals. In their case, I am all in favour of free love. Free the twins! I'll march with a sign in favour of that, honey!

    @SirNotAppearing- Cash 4 JalopGold!!: You know, every single one I've seen has been shiny-clean and lacking in unsightly hair. Mind you, you get a different kind of hippie at an Aerosmith, Dave Matthews, Great Big Sea or Wide Mouth Mason concert.

    Deartháir is right, though. My favorite hippies have been the ones at the Ziggy Marley/Blues Traveler concert I went to oh so many years ago.

    The real problem was that they had YMCA blasting from the loudspeakers, and the Indian kept kicking people in the shins.


    Oh the Cowboy, you don't want to know what he was doing.
