but I am here for a week...dammit, this city is great...

even if the tube isn't made for a trip from Heathrow to Gloucester Station with a large suitcase during rush hour, if any of you were glaring at me this morning, I'm sorry!!!

And what the hell, I thought we were supposed to walk to the left on the sidewalk...I kept getting Brits almost running into me, and then saying "oops, sorry"....

but I figure they are just used to the lunkhead tourists, like the two Americans that, on seperate occasions, tried to pierce my eyeball with their umbrellas...come on you nimrods (or should we say, gobshites), it wasn't raining, that was just a light mist....idiots!!!!

so anybody up for anything tonight...wait...on second thought, I'm sure I'll be turning in shortly...been up for close to 24 hours straigt now...and I'm about to go find a 6 pack or so of Stella!!!!

so hows about Friday then...or shall we all just wait for Saturday????

Glad youre enjoying the city...obviously a shame the weather's so utterly shite.

Count yourself lucky people have said 'oh sorry' after bumping in to you though...that's not normal London behavior.

Enjoy the Stella's Grigi :beer:

What match? :scratch:

Yeah, that's a known problem of Brit beer/ale. Very good, but never served chilled enough...

(please don't reply with the usual "french meat is not cooked enough". I like it raw anyway :D)

However, I wish full success to the British football team this afternoon - well, I do have grievances to south-american football in general (and referees in particular) don't ask me why ;)

I'll be watching at a PUb called 'One' on the New Kings Road. I WILL be ranting and swearing throughout mind you...If you're in the vicinity though...
