And thats what is left of our navy. Scrap. Nice one Conlibs.

Once we ruled the seas. Now we can barely patrol our own coast.

Its sad that the implication is that a homeless person would ordinarily be dishonest.

Site wouldnt work for me sadly. Just get a blank screen

Did the Chinese complain about Fallout 3? Serious question...

Why is it anything to do with defence or the military on here brings out the people unable to get over themselves.

Welcome to the NHS...

I live in the UK. I get good service when I eat out anyway. The staff know they will get whatever rate they get according to the pay scale they are on. If people get bad service the manager gets a complaint and the member of staff is brought up sharply.

IE the same as every other industry...why should restuarants be any different to, say, buying a PC? It would be ludicrous to tip people in my local Tesco's for showing me where the cinnamon bagels are..thats their job.

Likewise, workers in the service industry know they provide a service and will be reprimanded if they dont.

Tipping is basically a good way for people managing food establishments to get out of paying their workers a decent wage and leaving the onus on to the guests who shouldnt have to be responsible for the welfare of the workers there.

Its a really strange setup to someone not familiar with it. It was a real pain in the neck when I went to New York. I just wanted to pay the bloody bill without all the negotiations about how much the tip should be.

Whatever criticism you can level at Americans they sure know how to have a good time..

I suppose it was too much effort to actually say "Dining Room Table"... *sigh*

Pity they developed it for a military application. I'm sure they'll have a sense of achievement once it drops its first bombs in Afghanistan.

People sending me attachments on my home email account after I've told everyone I automatically delete any emails with attachments.

Similarly people sending attachments of 5MB which turns out to be a joke video I've seen a bazillion times on you-tube.
