Another Fan-Fic (My sincerest apologies to starkiller) - SW crossover
Time
I like how this is going, but just a few very small points:

Lando and the gang would not know what an F-16 or AIM-9 is, so as you are describing events from their point of view you should refer to them as 'some kind of fighter using primitive jet technology' or something like that.

How does the white house know that these guys call themselves the rebel alliance? Maybe Lando should introduce himself to the attacking fighters as a member of the rebel alliance.

Last but not least: 'An utter clusterfuck'
I don't think this really fits in with the style of the piece.

I am sorry for the mistakes we've made, but hijacking planes and ramming them into buildings is not the answer. It offends me that some people just want to let the terrorists off the hook. Some people look at our country and all they can see is George W. Bush. Please look beyond him, our country is more than just him, alot more.


As the husband of an American who has been all over the States and met many many people, I agree. But I also feel that the soundbite 'freedom and democracy' has been warped slightly, with many not realising it, not only in the U.S.A but in England too. However, no matter how warped and corrupted our freedom and democracy is, it is still a million times purer and truer than most other countries and at least has it's heart in the right place (on a grass roots level that is, not on a governmental or corporate level).

Anyway, I haven't read a newspaper or checked a news website yet, but I saw the headline on a newstand that they have caught the main head honcho behind the London attacks.

YIYF's Long Bridge Club
Time
We got talking about pizza stones in a thread totally unrelated to Pizza stones. In another thread we got talking about Long bridges, so we made the Long bridge club, where you can talk about anything you want without fear of going off topic, and you can say anything you want too, no matter how random. So, welcome to the Long Bridge club Nanner.

Speaking of holidays, I am planning on going on one soon. I wanted to go to Turkey and float in the dead sea but then a bomb went oiff and killed some tourists so my wife's parents are moaning at her not to go, then she decided she wanted to go to Israel, which I am down with but from a bomb danger point of view it's no better than Turkey (worse infact). So, any ideas? I live in England and I've done the whole of mainland Europe so I'm looking for somewhere a bit different for the next adventure.

Ric, I'm from England, and I hear and agrre with what you're saying, as do most british people. No offense taken. We don't have the patriotism of the USA over here (which is sad in some ways, because we have little to no national pride unless football is involved, but good too because nationalism is a bit dangerous in my opinion).
