Three Cheers for the Brits [and Pakistan too]!

You're all probably following this story, about the arrests in the UK of about two dozen people suspected of plotting to blow up aircraft with liquid explosives.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4783141.stm

"The Home Office has refused to confirm reports that Thursday's anti-terror operation in the UK was triggered by the interception of a decoded message sent by a suspect in Pakistan, which gave the go-ahead for the attack to take place.

At a news conference, Mr Reid said he was "grateful" for the help of the international community, in particular Pakistan, in disrupting the suspected plot."

But gems like Faulty Towers and Chef...
after all, world the world would be worth saving without good entertainment?

Traditional British food, on the other hand...may just give a man another example of why life may not be worth living.
