JCC Ender Sigh rags on 'Murica

I'm in London now and... gosh it is wonderful and pretty.

 

I don't know if I'll ever make it there, but it's on the short list of international locales I'd love to visit.

 

London is not lovely and pretty. But then I'm a country bumpkin and dislike large urban area's a prefer open fields and woodlands.




God I hate living in Manchester

 

Do you follow the football?

 

I keep an eye on what's happening in the Premiership but I live near Oldham so I go and watch them live and as I'm from Cumbria and grew up in the south of the Lake District my nearest team was Barrow and I support them as a result.



BTW, Levy's offer for Berahino was about right but the first payment was insulting.

 

I've been fortunate enough to have visited London several times. I love the city especially with all the "look left" signs on the street for the non-locals.

 

Maybe when the Lakers move there you can watch a game there? It would justify the travel expense.

 

Should be #1 priority.

He tells the BBC that as a "novelty tool" it is not his responsibility to check who is buying it or what it will be used for.
"Who are we to deny individuals the ability own a product?" he says. "We don't assume everyone is a criminal


America is insane

 

London looks like it's shattering under the weight of its own history and dissolving under the constant rain. And yes, that's a good thing.

 

Having worked at a visitor information centre, I feel very comfortable saying that I had more rude European tourists to deal with than I did rude American tourists. That being said, part of this* could be because there's a local population of rude Polish Canadians.

* - most of this

 

Pah. Anecdotal

 

... Right, so, Penguinator how are Canadian apartment rates these days?

 

If you roomed with me, it'd be $550 a month, tops. Individual apartments where I'm at are around $1400/1500 for a decent place.

 

But it is also quite wonderful. I saw a few V2 types protesting probably nothing important at the national gallery today but no store clerk - pronounced "clark", dear Americans - has interest in conversation. It is pure commerce, and I love it.

Not enough Prets though. Only 1 per block.

 

They got rid of those sea weed wrap things. Disappointing. #firstworld

 

Ender, how would you pronounce Antigonish? Or Toronto? Or Mississauga?

 

I walked from my hotel at Barbican to covent garden this morning. 1.something miles. Got to see LSE and Kings College amd stuff.

And 9 Prets.

 

Don't you mean "1. something kilometers"?

 

The UK still uses international miles.

 

Portsmouth tomorrow. Rather keen to see the naval museum and HMS Victory.
