      Yes, except when it snows. I forgot to mention that aspect

        As it never snows in Sweden anymore thanks to global warming that's not really an issue.

          Not here.

          No high speed trains and the regular trains stop EVERYWHERE.

          You can damn near walk faster.

            I haven't seen any America hating. I guess you were wrong.

              Generally great, cheap and convenient.

              Which is annoying, I'd rather get the train really. But they are way too expensive and overcrowded.

                Albie, the problem is that TSA doesn't do enough profiling, not that they do too much. You not having any issues is utterly unsurprising in that light.

                    I would never get on a plane. Getting on a plane is just tempting fate.

                        Is this some reference to the fact that Mr. T in the A-Team was afraid of flying? I don't get it.

                          They work fine I suppose, can be a bit pricey sometimes, although this is to do with the popularity of the current route I am using a lot (London to Frankfurt). Alas the cheap budget airlines do not fly there (unless you count Frankfurt Hahn, which is in the middle of nowhere, certainly nowhere near Frankfurt) but I don't like Ryanair anyway, they are bastards. Easyjet are OK. BA and Lufthansa seem to be reasonable for this route. I may be flying from Manchester instead in the near future in which case Lufthansa is by far the better option (cheaper with better times).
