well, it was the one time in the song that it made sense to say "better run, better take cover!" It's Brussels alright. http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/menatwork/downunder.html I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

When I lived in Los Angeles, I would drive to one of the edge cities and shop at a British Store: Irish and English pub listings and newspapers, English Speaking Union notices, biscuits, vegemite, marmite, scones, teas and bottles of Ribena, a black currant syrupy drink originally distributed free to UK children during World War Two. Talk about capturing a market. During the war England was generally only five weeks away from starvation and there was always widespread hunger with strict rationing, so a high vitamin C black currant drink that was free gained loyal customers for decades. I used to buy Ribena when I felt a cold coming on: four times the vitamin C of oranges and enough sugar to put you to sleep during the vitamin versus virus battle. I can't believe there were no British Stores in Hawaii, most cities in the USA used to have them. |

Not going to ask...nope. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
