American Citizen Celebration

Yep!

wherea for me, the only time I felt at home ... was in N.Y!

too bad

cheers

yep, there's an actual garbage heap!!

like many other places it can be nice if you have something cool going on....

[garyb]

I felt that in almost every part of the world you can feel at home when you are lucky to meet good hearted people there.

There is a german word Kumpan (literally crony).
Gary would find out that it has a latin origin cum pane.
It means sharing the bread together.
This is what decribes this feeling at home.

There is at least one part of my soul that still goes beyond that and depends on more than human socialisation for being at home.

Pleasure beach reminded me Quadrophenia of the who! ... but there is scottish lakes nearby.

I think the Scottish 'lakes' (not 'lochs') you're thinking of are actually English 'lakes' in 'The Lake District' since Scottish water is a fair bit further afield.

Hi Mark

You're correct, I forgot the name of the area!

cheers

[MD69]

Hi,

I think its the same everywhere, it is admitted that Paris colloquialize someone in 3 months for example. I guess N.Y in 15 days!

cheers

People who are very wealthy will find a way to live where they want but poor people can't.

While he can still live in the UK, Mohemmed Al Fayed still hasn't managed to get a UK passport, despite being one of the richest people in the UK and contributing a lot to British society - because he is fundamentally at odds with the Royal Family. They have more power than you think (especially when it gets personal).

[garyb]

the Royal family and Fayed are more personally connected than the public show would indicate.

as you may notice, passport or not, the man does as he pleases, or he does his job, depending on the point of view...

[garyb]

that he does to be such a wealthy man...

[garyb]

did he?

you assume that is a bad thing...

afaik, he moved to because he was mad at the UK. afterwards he got what he wanted and moved back saying "the UK is home"...i don't think he's ever been significantly inconvienienced....

[garyb]

no, he's still there.

yes, he's a lackey, but on a higher evolutionary level than commoners such as post here. mere commoners can't understand...
