I see litter as part of a long continuum of anti-social behaviour.

I'm definitely an American, because I grew up here. But I've lived very happily in Britain.

English grammar is so complex and confusing for the one very simple reason that its rules and terminology are based on Latin - a language with which it has precious little in common. In Latin, to take one example, it is not possible to split an infinitive. So in English, the early authorities decided, it should not be possible to split an infinitive either. But there is no reason why we shouldn't, any more than we should forsake instant coffee and air travel because they weren't available to the Romans.

Traveling is more fun - hell, life is more fun - if you can treat it as a series of impulses.

America is a very seductive place in terms of lifestyle and comfort, but it wasn't for me.

There is something about the momentum of travel that makes you want to just keep moving, to never stop.

The best that can be said for Norwegian television is that it gives you the sensation of a coma without the worry and inconvenience.
