I found this tidbit interesting -

August 1, 1831 – A new London Bridge, designed by engineer John Rennie, opened. It stood over London's River Thames until American entrepreneur Robert P. McCulloch bought it in 1968 and subsequently moved it to Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

True. Realising US had no culture, they tried to buy it. Later on they found out that didn't work.

Hi Nats. I was curious last night so I took a look at your recent posts to see if you has already addressed this. I noticed that you are posting about 30 replies per day and almost all are videos even many that are replies to other posts and are not in the video forum. Are you working for youtube or are you just focused on doing more than 10,000 in a single 12 month period? I figure you must be getting a few cents per click from youtube to generate activity. poke

Ooooooooooo!!! Post wars! You have good reason to be fearful, Deena. With your post count in the top 5, you can probably expect to become number 2 before long, seeing as how you did not register until 2006. The only one who can stop you is Nats. Granted, she registered well before you, but she was gone for a long time. So go ahead! Taunt away!!

US has a culture, but it's the sort of thing you bury in the basement and hope no one is rude enough to bring it up ever again.

Its the video posts that clutter up this place and make it a junior youtube but then maybe we need 25 musical support items a day. I just keep wondering if Nats can carry a tune without youtube?

Although I am a tactless and uncouth American, I still manage to appreciate Natalie's contributions to the music section of the forum.

Now if only Chelsea would win the UEFA Champions League and fill Natalie with such joy that she converts to Christianity, this place would be perfect wink

His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
Jesus answered, "Neither he nor his parents sinned; it is so that the works of God might be made visible through him. "
John 9:2-3

Mahatma Ghandi, though a devout Hindu, was widely known to admire Jesus; Ghandi often quoted from the Sermon on the Mount, in fact. Once when the missionary E. Stanley Jones met with Ghandi he asked him, "Mr. Ghandi, though you quote the words of Christ often, why is that you appear to so adamantly reject becoming his follower?"
Ghandi replied, "Oh, I don't reject your Christ. I love your Christ. It's just that so many of you Christians are so unlike your Christ."

Yeah, the music thread is a decent diversion from the mundane.

Chelsea? Feck that. You wanna follow Rosenborg Trondheim. We spend a half a million on new players next to Chelsea's 50 million.

You did not know that? I remember reading about it as a child right when it happened.

The ocean liner "Queen Mary" is here too.

Now when St Paul's Cathedral comes over, then it might be time to get concerned.
