News From Across The Pond

"Pistol" Pete Repka
Whenever news breaks or whenever he feels like it, Pistol will submit an interesting news story from his home in England. You remember England, don't you? It's that once-vast empire that likes soccer, some creation called "fish 'n' chips", and rountinely cuts out on the work day to take tea. They had a bad-ass Navy, led by kings and queens, and their conflict with Ireland gave us the official drink of clevercitizen.com - The Irish Carbomb.
With that out of the way, Pistol will be submitting a news item every once in a while. For the love of God, stop being so ethnocentric and become a little more international.
