R 18+ of course. Maybe a good internet speed too, down in my town we get shit...

And I have one that I just found out... Apparently, no other countries have Tim Tams... suck it other countries.
R18+ agreed. As for speeds have you not heard about the optics network the government are putting in?

and as someone else mentioned Mint Slice > Tim Tams, not to say Tim Tams are bad, but they don't have much on the Mint Slice.

I am very disappointed that they don't have Skittles, Starbust, Oreo Cookies, Betty Crocker cakes mixes (particularly brownie and lemon poppy seed), and Entenmann's cookies over here in Europe. And Starbucks. We need more Starbucks over here.
That being said, at least I'm not getting fat on cookies, cakes and candy, so I guess there's a bright side... =D
And on the other hand, I used to have to go without French cheeses and cured meats when I was living on the other side of the Pond, so it's pretty much give and take everywhere you go, I guess.

I wish we had a Walmart.

And American style prices. When something is $40 (dollars), I do not want to be paying £40 (pounds) for it!

A friend of mine lives in Denmark and loves Skittles and jelly beans so much he gets them shipped from the UK to where he lives. Now that's dedication..!

That kinda sucks, which part of Europe are you in? Those things are all readily available in England (in that case of Starbucks, too available - when you see three on the same street, you know things have gone too far) so it shouldn't be too expensive to import some.

I have just eaten a Twinkie. I live in central England.

Ooohhh I wish they sold Twinkies for cheap in England..! I found some but they were being sold for £2.50 each (that translates to about $3.80 in America). Per Twinkie!? How ridiculous.
What I have to do is when I find out someone is going to America, plead with them to bring some back with them. Is that too much to ask?? They're so tasty and I enjoy them so much, it's frustrating that once I eat them all I have to wait ages for some more.

Anyway, before I get into a massive sulk (I only have one left), is there something you can't get or do where you live?
I live in England too and i'm jealous of their peanut filled M&Ms, but I wouldn't swap all our proper coco chocolate for them

Of anyone can get hold of some i'll trade you some wispa's in exchange

I wish Sweden could keep up with the rest of the world when it comes to releasing movies...

I mean, games are one thing, in bad cases they usually just get delayed by a month or two. Movies on the other hand, it's such a pain to watch Internet movie critics/geeks knowing that 30% of the stuff they talk about will not see a release in theaters over here :-/

- R18+ Classification for video games
- Better Broadband (maximum is currently ADSL2+ ~20mbps)
- Stronger currency rate
- A larger population so I wouldn't be forced to play laggy multiplayer games with foreigners
- Games that don't cost $120 AUD (that's $100 USD!). I see Americans bitching about paying $60 for a game. I feel like kicking their testicles seeming as we here over in Australia pay DOUBLE what you cheap skates pay (I'm only calling the ones who complain cheapskates, not all of you).

I agree, that's one thing I'm glad we have over here - sweet chocolate. Cadburys tastes sooo good after you come back from a country where there isn't any.

Well, we do find Oreo cookies in a few supermarkets, but the price tag just doesn't make it worth it. And I think there are a couple of Starbucks in Paris (I know of two), but beyond the capital, forget about it. Who needs Starbucks when you've built an entire culture on little cafés at every street corner?

What? Mainland Europe sucks!
Like I said, it's give and take everywhere you go!

Why the hell don't we have mounting dew in England? It's great!
We do, don't we? I saw some cans on a shelf in a shop just the other day...
Not where I'm from. I've only been able to get them because I have connections with a guy who works in America.

You sure your not thinking of 7up?

I want England here. In the States. I like the look of the country.

I can't go because I have no money. But, I have a plan. We should get 400 million helicopters, tie ropes around the country, and, drag it here. But then I'd have to drive there.......................Damn........................I don't have a car and no one I know would drive me there..............Fiddlesticks......

A man can dream, though, a man can dream.......................*sobs*
