When the pain of where you are becomes greater then the fear of where your going, you'll move.

Ahh so now you see Lamron you read it one way but means totaly differant here.
Fags over here are cigarettes and Bat*21, rubbers are for rubbing out pencil errors :-)
We may both think we speak the same english but Gorden Bennet we don't, I remember an article in our papers about a soap you guys got from us called "East enders" now this is set in the part of london I came from the east end, and it was said that in a lot of the states the programme had to come with subtiltes??
I always have to be aware of this devide in english when typing in the games as sometimes I may type how I speak and I tell ya geezer that can be well dodgey!, cos some may get it ass about and get the nark, and I dun want to naff anyone off because of a misunderstanding over the gab.
