    I get $750 worth of farecards for $375. You'd do the same.
    I just assumed you'd been buying child's tickets again.

    My only motivation is to live like a king wherever I am. I am not very familiar with Carolina on a whole to wanna fucking live there either.

    I am curious about the cost of homes, petrol, etc. in relation the wages over there.

    Also do most of you brats live in either detached homes, townhouses or apartments?

    Almost all the folks over 22 that work here for the phone company live in detached homes (and a few in townhouses).
    lol, how many kings have a half finished wanking pit.

    I just worked out that I could sell my PPR, buy a five bedroomed detached house in DC, use the proceeds to live there for six years with no other income and support my family - and have enough money left over to get a fucking Humvee.

    lol!
    That's pretty good....uh...what's a PPR?

    Hell many of the $600,000 homes around here have unfinished basements. Owners usually finish them themselves or get someone else to do it cheaper.
    If the builder does it, they charge an arm and a leg.

    Either way, people still use the unfinished basement until they are ready to finish it. I have older furniture down there that I'll probably throw out after I complete the work. lol!!1!

    That would be $5.41/gallon, for the Yanks.

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
    -- WW2 for the l33t

    There are 4.5 litres to a UK gallon (which is bigger than a US gallon) so your 4 might be close.

    Minimum wage in the UK is about £5.20 or about $9.40. I belive it is about to go up to £5.60 so that will take it to about the $10.00 mark. However, minimum wage is pants - as I am sure it is in the US.

    I think those with a good wage in the US have a better standard of living than we do but we have far fewer who have to work two jobs to pay the bills. The US generally has a bigger gap between rich and poor.
