  1. Avoid at all costs I'm afraid your concern is warranted as sadly that is exactly what it will be like. Texas in particular is flat, boring and huuuuuuuge. Many highways in Georgia have massive trees either side so you can literally drive for hours and see no landscape - it can actually get very claustrophobic. Not sure what time of year you're planning but the South in summer is hotter and more humid than most places on earth. It sounds like you may have done some of the great American West but that would always be my first choice. This is what I would suggest From the UK get a cheap flight to Vegas then drive 2 hours north to St. George (spectacular drive in itself.) From there you could go to Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, Monument Valley, over the top of Utah to Moab or underneath to Grand Staircase Escalante. Moab is spectacular (one of my favorite places on earth) with Canyonlands and the extremely accessible Arches NP. Go slot canyon hiking in Grand Staircase and drive Utah State Road 12 - consistently duking it out with Pacific Coast Highway for the most scenic drive in the US. Go to Boulder Utah on Route 12 and see real cowboys bringing in their herds at sundown while you eat the best grass fed burger you will ever eat watching the sunset. More off the beaten track is New Mexico which despite it's reputation has an extremely varied landscape and a fascinating history. In the south, White Sands park, a pin drop other planet feeling place. Then the solitude is shattered by fighter planes from the US Air force base next door conducting training exercises. Drive north stopping at family owned Mexican restaurants, visit the very large array, take the Breaking Bad tour of Albuquerque and onto Santa Fe one of the oldest trading towns in the US. Nestled in the mountains at 7500 feet above sea level it is beyond spectacular, and has the most number of art galleries per capita in the country. The north of the State has Los Alamos where the atomic bomb was developed and the foliage begins to gradually turn into Colorado as you get to the Hot springs area. Native American history and stories are everywhere in NM and learning about their culture and history is fascinating. Anyways, that's my 2 cents but if you do make it Santa Fe let me know as I'll be there July & August
  2. Only really got to watch the highlights today but really enjoyed watching players I've never heard have great games for Morocco & Iran. That's whats great about World Cups! The nutmeg of Pique by the Iranian winger Edit: Oh and the name of the referee in the Uruguay vs Saudi game was Clement Turpin ?
  3. I'm spending 75% of the time trying to figure out at which point we are in the story, so I'm quickly coming to the conclusion that maybe the story just isn't that good. Enjoying the Handmaid's Tale much more and it doesn't constantly bounce between 5 stories and 5 different timelines. A linear narrative, imagine that!
  4. The company that is housing at least half of these kids is a non-profit (charity.) The nice chap who owns it paid himself $1.5 million last year.
  5. He used to date a cellist I knew - true story.
  6. MON has rocked up on Fox in the US - in the studio with Seedorf. Still makes me angry looking at that little man.
  7. Give him a couple more weeks.
  8. I'm impressed they know how much Tony is worth (in pence.)
  9. With so much shitty, shitty news currently (primarily here in the US) I was happy to see this today. This demonstrates self respect, respect for others and the greater community. When did we lose these values and become so consumed with greed, venom and anger?
  10. Corey Lewandowski ladies & gentlemen. Former campaign manager for Trump and reportedly still a close confident. After he left the campaign he set up a 'lobbying firm'* which overlooks the White House. *Give us an obscene amount of money because and I will tell what laws for Trump to pass because I am his friend.
  11. Head of the Dept. of Homeland Security was driven out of a restaurant in Washington tonight. What kind of restaurant? Mexican... Click through to the replies for a video of what happened inside. I'm not entirely sure how l feel about someone holding public office not being able to have a normal private life. But the contempt she has shown for the issue over the last few days, and constantly doubling down behind Trump makes it easy to think f*^k her. She should be hounded out of office IMO.
  12. Airlines. Expect the worst and they will never fail surpass the ways they can screw up. It's part of the reason I turn down certain work if it involves a lot of airline travel. Just not worth the time and hassle.
  13. 5 years at 65k a week. Get it done Brucey!!
  14. Is that the striker on the right that they bought to replace Hogan?
  15. Tom Homan (acting Head of ICE) defending the ICE policies and refusing to answer questions on TV now. So infuriating - JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION you absolute shmuck. Blaming the parents. He's trying to appear tough to impress Trump so he gets the job permanently - he also can barely string a sentence together.
  16. I don't think he has enough to drag them through games the way that Maradona did with Argentina or Ronaldo seems to do with Portugal. Especially coming back from injury.
  17. If Salah had waited half a second he had a runner on the outside - he could have used him or had more space for the shot. Incredible player though.
