I put it in the msn maps app and it put the drive at 11 hrs... which makes some sense as we are half way there when we see my dad... he's about 4.5, so that 11 hrs is probably accurate...
Naw.. that's two days of drivng... I'd rather just fly out and be more refreshed......
Ouch 11 hours I was told it takes about 1/2 days to drive through Texas!!
You could drive Newcastle to Brighton in England in about 6/7 hours ( top to bottom lol )

England is a small country and for being as small as it is... you guys sure have done a bunch of crap and kicked a lot of azz historically speaking...
America sort of gets the bad rap these current times with being perceived as being a bully...we've got nothing historically speaking on the English... you guys have ruled the world with a god damn iron fist....
Way way harsher, historically speaking than the Americans have ever have been... I think the mainstream media sort of forgets that historical perspective when it bashes America.....
There's a reason why the saying about how the "sun never sets" on the English empire came about...
You don't get that rep without kicking some ass at some point...LOL.....

Well that's bar none the best post I've seen on Britain chow and I really appreciate that
Yes I'm proud of our heritage and have " flirted " with a few Americans on politics about military/intelligence/ even pop culture LOL but it all stems from just how small we are as opposed to Russia,China and best of all..... The USA.
I love our American cousins and most feel the same about us ( don't forget I want to end up there permanently one day ) I think the bad rep you get is mainly through jealousy from being the worlds most powerful and richest country myself.
Without turning it too political I believe we are each other's best allies ( even posted that yesterday lol )
Yes we get a bad rep I don't know if you saw that thread about jamacia asking for compensation for the slave trade from Britain and our PM told them no LOL. The author of the thread was right going into it and I couldn't help but wind him up

I wasn't trying to be an A hole.. with you.. but England has been around since 1050 or so, and like I said... you guys were some serious ass kickers...
I really think America is at it's peak right now and in the next coming decades China is probably gonna rise up to be the preeminent power.
I hope I wasn't being offensive.. sometimes just simply listing out clearly well defined historical events can still trigger people getting pissed off... LOL...

That's not too bad, about the same as driving from Melbourne to Sydney.... I kinda like long drives, if the scenery is interesting ...
