The American "you're fired!" is also brutal, I suppose; but it leaves a lot to question. Perhaps you did something wrong, perhaps you didn't fit in, perhaps your performance was poor...whatever. Being "made redundant", on the other hand, sounds like "we don't need you anymore because we have this little tiny mechanism which can do the job just as well as you...you are now unnecessary, superfluous, worthless, a widget to us. Please go away now. Have a nice day." But these are simple cross-cultural differences. You know, the old "separated by a common language" bit. This is a really cool forum. Look at some erotic material, then have a good bar conversation. Cheers! |

Yes, it only makes sense to a lawyer with his/her brain twisted thru five dimensions but that's where we are.

Getting back to the original question of bus admission in American tv/movies....American drivers do they always leave their cars unlocked or as nearly always shown with their windows rolled down?

Well, ..actually, Nick, in and around Moultrie, Georgia, I do leave the truck unlocked and the windows opened. Of course it may depend on what part of town you're in, but usually, nobody f**ks with my truck. As a matter of fact, when I go to some places, like the liquor store, I leave the key in it too. And like I said before, I even leave the front door of my house unlocked all day and night. (Of course, I have four Labs in there that would eat your legs off if you ever tried to come in).

Hope someone can answer this
I've noticed in most or all movies about the American Space Program the word "Godspeed" is used. What is Godspeed?

I really didn't know that the topic is so controversial and emotionally tainted. Otherwise I wouldn't have asked. But on the other hand I've learned a lot, there is no general consent in the meaning of the flag, it depends. |

If I went on holiday to the US and used phrases such as 'I'm going outside to roll a fag', or 'would you knock me up in the morning' would sensitive people faint thinking I'm a perve, or would you know what I meant?
