Yup, RyanAir uses Stansted airport which is about 45 min away. Very convinient for me though since the airport in my own is a RyanAir stop. I fly form here to London directly.
In the end, somewhere other than London would probably be better though.

(Various Swedish nonsense above. Pay it no mind.)




I feel the same way

I just want Firefly to start airing here in Sweden. I wrote the network that has bought the rights to it (tv4) but they were really vague on when they were going to start showing it. Which doesn´t really surprise me all that much since they´ve had "Angel" in their archives for about 4 years now. Go figure.

Which city do you live in, btw?

At least they have good taste. They're the ones airing ALIAS too, aren't they? (Don't really know since I download the eps anyway.)
For all the folks who don't have broadband I sure hope they start airing it soon. The show is too good to miss.

I'm in Västerås. You?

No I was being serious. I've met loads of so-called 51st Staters here in the UK

Personally I think they're nuts but they exist. There's an even larger number who think we should leave the EU and join NAFTA!

Nah what they really hate (once you explain it to them) is calling them "Septics"

Cockney Rhyming Slang: Septic Tank = Yank

I once nearly got into a touch of "Local Colour" in a bar in Orlando for using that one

I´ve met the odd Scottish and Irish seperatist who basically think the limey English are all a bunch of wankers and would love to have THEM out of their hair... but to enter a union with the US? ~LOL~ Well, you´ve got to laugh, haven´t you?

That's just their Inferiority Complex at work (I'm actually half Irish by the way)

I'm from Britain. Still to be convinced that the insidious, undemocratic creep towards a federal Europe is a good thing. Especially when the cost of corruption and fraud within the EU is estimated to cost £6 billion every year - 10% of the entire EU annual budget.

And greetings from Slovenia, some nutty Firefly fans here too. See you all in the EU in May!

Take me out to the black, tell them I ain't coming back

There’s a huge difference between being sceptic towards a big European alliance (which I am too btw... not being a believer in the success of such endeavours... history should have taught us something…) and wanting to jump into another alliance across the big puddle. Imho there are other ways to bring the European countries closer together.
But that’s not why I started this topic doggonit! Just wanted a show of hands in the forum for all the active posters who live within a reasonable distance between each other.

Hiya AYWYN, welcome to the family. ;-)

I agree, I´m pleased they show "Alias", I just can´t understand why they buy the rights to a tv-show and then just let it dust away in the archives. Let´s hope that doesn´t happen to Firefly. I want everyone to see it.

I live in Eslöv (i Skåne, några mil utanför Malmö). Not the most exciting town.
