Daaaaave Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 mate, there may not be any new news coming out of london right now. personally, I hate it when a single report gets repeated ad infinitum. considering the close ties between the two cities financially and commercially, not to mention what basically amounts to a flashback/ptss for many new yorkers, it's a completely relevant story to run. now you and the chip on your shoulder should head out for a nice, strong cup of coffee?o Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
