    Please tell me you didnt get that via Myspace Hitcher
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    You think I'm some kind of teenager with nothing better to do than surf myspace or youtube? Good heavens. At my age I can only remember one login.

    I see. Very humourous, yet impractical

    Extremely!

    I see from their map they expect you to swim through the channel and make landfall at Le Havre in France, trek overland to Boulogne sur Mer then swim to Dover (why not the shorter, more popular, route from Calais to Dover, I have no idea) - none of these steps mentioned in the directions, I note - when the far more practical route would be to make landfall near Sennen in Cornwall and head up to London from there, thus sparing yourself the effort of a lot more swimming and the torment of being lost without adequate directions somewhere between Le Havre and Boulogne and surrounded by bloody French!

    Bloody Google, always doing things the hard way!
    Motorbike Camping for the win!
