Life in the interim must have treated you badly, then. Did you piss away

I do notice come every morning that the British contingent has been in Iraq
since Day 1, and I'm not quite sure how we could have lured the UK there.
Obviously, it can't be oil, tea or opium.
Yours is the same quaint response I've read from all too many UK posters,
the "diminished responsibility defense", "We're gonna blame Bush and the
'Merkins, 'cuz we certainly must have been tricked, trapped, cozened, conned
and otherwise immorally induced to go to war." You could collectively plead
temporary insanity, I suppose....(and after all, Iraq remains a locale in
which the current situation reflects a series of spectatcular fuckups by the
UK dating from 1919 or so, compounded on several occasions post WWII. It
was once one of the pink places on the globe, but maybe not as badly run as
Zimbabwe....).

There's nothing that appeals less than drinking warm canned Coke on a train,
especially one which costs more and takes longer than travel by air (where,
except on BA, they'll give me a can of Coke and 2 cups of ice if I ask
nicely). Amusingly, my little "baggie" contains no toiletries, simply 4 or
5 "miniatures" of whiskey. I am a cheapskate. There are several
expenditures I consider foolish, "renting" movies or using "mini-bars" in
hotel rooms and paying $5 for a shot of booze from a US airline. I still
eschew the first two, but the $5 for a drink has gotten to be less than
saloon prices....
