In the US, many classic neckties designs are derived from ties which in Britain represent military regiments, prep schools, colleges, professional organizations, and social clubs. In the US, with the exception of Ivy League ties, this is a relatively unknown phenomenon.

But when an American visits the UK, should they refrain from wearing neckwear which might have such symbolism, lest they be deemed a poseur and a fraud? Will they be viewed with suspicions wearing a tie with such meanings? (I haven't been to England since I started wearing neckties regularly, so it hasn't been an issue.)

(Increase your chances of best Answer if you can answer the similar question for plaids based on Tartans worn by people who don't belong to the clan it represents.)

Do you think car pool system in Bombay city will work? Some 10 years ago it used to take 25 to 30 min to travel a distance 10 km as compared to now which takes 45 min to 1 hour. The local authorities though think to make Bombay an Indian Shanghai, but it doens't looks like happening in the next 20 years. Traveling by car in Bombay is becoming a nightmare!! Best replies will certainly be voted positively.

Looking at trip options, I've got the following choices: Carlton, Dandenong, East Melbourne, Fitzroy, South Melbourne, South Yarra-Prahran, St. Kilda and Tullamarine airport. I can obviously narrow some of it down, but I still don't understand the layout of the city. Which of these areas would have good, clean hotels and be in the midst of activities for tourists who won't be driving a car?

buy a pair of shoes just because you thought they are cute, only to have them kill your feet when you wear them?! What do you do in a case like this, go on wearing them and suffering in silence, or relegate them to the back of your closet with all those other unworn pairs and endure the "I told you so" nagging by your spouse?! I need help people!

I know this is silly ... I'm just trying to post a few questions here since apparently it's so quiet now! So Kalooka, you will just have to endure and suffer in silence! lol

south of san luis obispo by a few hours
has lots of history
has many ups and downs
"get ready to soar"
theres water and snow
"dont get too far ahead, its easy to get lost"
it would be a very very short flight from san luis obispo
the weather would give it away
we'll have fun exploring the mountains

my boyfriend is surprising me with a trip somewhere, so he's giving me a clue everyday and i don't know what it is.
it sounds like either disneyland or snowboarding or something

any ideas? thanks :)

Hope we are able to get fast response as we are in our mist of planning now.

My grandparents moved to America from ireland, and my mother is full Irish, but I am half Irish Catholic, and half African American. Am I eligible for citizenship in Ireland? Or would I not be considered "Irish enough" to be a citizen? Any help you guys could give me would be great.

So the Hobbit is green lit and most likely to be shot in New Zealand again. I already work in the film industry here in the states in the costume/wardrobe department. How would I go about finding a way to work on this picture?

I have a 4 hour layover at Zurich airport around 7:00 AM...which I thought would not be enough time to see anything.

But then I found out that there are frequent trains that only take about 10 mintues to get into the city center.

Would I have time to hop a train to Zurich...take a quick walk around, take a couple pictures, and catch the train back to the airport?

Also, if I wanted to pick up some chocolate in town for a gift, would carrying it back into the airport lengthen the time it would take me to check back in at the airport?
