Sun and Doves coverage is probably ha,mpered by licensing laws, but agreed - it seems a bit pointless given that nothing meaninful will come through until hours later


We have a few Americans on board the forum - they might have a better idea - but I reckon house parties = better than pubs for this one

Did everyone see the race-reversed poster of McCain and Obama that Metro reproduced this morning?


The poster campaign was an interesting idea in the image obsessed world of marketing. Here's a big and arresting picture of our candidates that focuses on their race. And here's a small caption reminding us not to think about race too much. And do NOT think about a blue elephant.


On a more petty point, I was fascinated by the result. McCain looked just like himself, but Obama looked really different, and suddenly kind of 'Troy McClure'.

The Obama one looked quite good... I thought the McCain one looked rubbish though, more like an oompa-loompa than a black man.

Friend was over from Texas last w/e, he was saying how he watched the debates with split screen and how while Obama spoke McCain was gurning and scribbling furiously!!


Have another friend who after much googling has been disappointed not to find a link between McCain and the oven chips!!!

And the offending lines of that article still ring true,


"The world will endure four more years of idiocy, arrogance and unwarranted bloodshed, with no benevolent deity to watch over and save us. John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr - where are you now that we need you?"

Who is going to stay and watch? I will do my best and have power napped to prepare.


I pray to God (which i don't believe in) that Body Odour gets elected - it will be such a kick to the balls of the rest of the world if Hicksville wins the day and Gramps gets the nod. Lets hope Mr Obama has eight years and uses to show the world that America can be influencial for all the right reasons and more importantly that Americans get into that mindset. Otherwise it will be remembered as 8 years of weak America and Laura Bush will be elected in 2016 to invade Brazil.


GO BARACK.

      Family holiday - south of France - by train?

      By Moovart · Posted

      Do check out changing at Lille if it's possible, as is much easier than changing stations in Paris.  I did London to Montpellier changing at Lille which was very straightforward but it was a little while ago.

      Family holiday - south of France - by train?

      By Cyclemonkey · Posted

      We go to the South of France by train most summers.   It is pretty easy and you get to arrive right in the centre of the city.  TGVs are generally efficient, reliable and comfortable. Unfortunately the direct London to Marseille Eurostar train seems to have been a  victim of Brexit so you have to change in Paris - most South bound service go from  Gare de Lyon - about a 15 min RER rise from Gare du Nord. Allow plenty of time travelling back from Gare du Nord, it always was horrid but has reach new levels of chaos since Brexit. I would recommend, at least for the home leg, booking the entire journey through Eurostar. That way if your French train is delayed or cancelled and you miss your Eurostar connection back to London,  Eurostar will get you on to a different train home. As for destinations - there is a lot of the South of Fra.ce to choose from.  What are you looking for?     Also Ouigo trains can be a cheaper option than TGVs, but watch out you have to pay extra for things like luggage and seat reservations.  Also they sometimes stop at TGV stations outside the city centre.

      Do what I do and stick some of these folk on your ignore list.  It's great fun, they just rant away and you will be totally oblivious to it.
