[Mandi+Ryan 1]

Ok, I really hate how people do this. It's starting to scare me even more nowdays. And my fiancé wants to take British Airways when he flies here? AH! Scary thought.

In the US, people aren't oriental, rugs are

It depends on who you speak to. Personally I prefer Oriental. So does my brother. Possibly it is an influence from when I lived in London though. My co-workers drilled that into me, that and the correct way to pronounce Tottenham Court Road.

edited to add COURT. It's been a while. Probably f**ked up the pronounciation too.

The ABC network has said 22 of those in custody are of Pakistani origin, one is Bangladeshi and another is Iranian. Officials have said all the suspects are British citizens.

also they say 5 still remain at large 2-3 of them being ring leaders.. so I saw on cnn.com

Maybe "at large" is the wrong term .. but you know what I mean.

Hahah ok another addition

Why is "at large" the wrong term?

meant to remove that.. I just thought they said "there may be more" .. I guess that does consitute at large.. so .. nevermind.. so now 2 more are at large .. according to british police.. and what they have said.

Why is "at large" the wrong term?

Because people from the north might think they're "larging it up"
