Very nice little applet from talkswitch. We’ve used this a few times and it’s quite reliable.

Kieran forwarded this to me earlier. Good send-up cultural homogenisation and all that malarky 😀
Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish Kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows On a Japanese TV. And the most British thing of all? Suspicion of anything Foreign.

Serenity
Perhaps too much of a religious statement for some but sage
words that some day I’ll heed.
“God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.” –Reinhold Niebuhr
