I'd still fly transatlantic but I wouldn't take an internal US flight.

Well, I've flown to Israel a couple of times, passed Mossad securtity everytime and that's more security than we'll have on regular flights.

Air traffic is down like 50%, no one wants to fly. Lately I've been seeing license plates from all over the country, every one is driving now as opposed to flying.

Even with the recent hikes in gas costs in the US your fuel costs arfe still WAY below those in the UK.
I drove 550 miles yesterday and it cost me the equivelent of $110.00 in Deisel
Regular Gas is about $5.60 a gallon!!! Super is over $6.00 a gallon.

Wow!!!!! Thank god I live in Texas, gas prices are always cheap down here. You drove 500 miles? I thought you European people always took trains everywhere 😕

So many misconceptions.... I think I have only taken 1 train journey in the last 3 years...
I was helping my mother in law move house... Had a big Van full of all here worldly possessions...

A van? I thought that when Europeans moved, they tied everything to their carriages and headed for the nearest kingdom 😂

Yes, but they don't wear silly wide hats when they do it...
BTW, I hear a little rumour that Orpheus has finally over come his customs problems at Corellia and will be headed back to this little corner of the galaxy pretty soon...

Oh, that's right, now I remember.
What ever happened to Phinney?
USH
UshgarakPaladin
He said he would be arounf less, what with school and all, but he seems to have totally vanished. In a titanic moose struggle, perhaps?
But somehow I think we will see the Phinmeister back here soon...

England is more expensive, those bastards. I took my parent's campervan there two years ago. It drives on Diesel and that's just as expensive as gas/petrol. A major rip off in the UK.

A gallon of milk costs more than a gallon of petrol where I live! and people still complain! I quess if you have it in your own back yard you just dont appreciate it that much 🙄

Don't talk to me about petrol! The money I have spent on petrol this summer is ludicrous! I wish I had never passed my damned test now! Ah ha Orpheus is returning is he? You mean he has finally moved his computer out of your brother's room!
