yeah that's too far.

last time an american told me something was 10 minutes away i walked about 400 miles to a Denny's. i had no idea they meant 10 minutes by car.

I would walk 400 miles for THE SEX.

americans dont walk, it seems.

you can't really walk in okc. it's one of the largest cities (area-wise) in the US and everything is spread out. we don't have much traffic, but you can drive for an hour (again.. sans traffic) and still be in city limits.

no but they have big houses. for the average american family just walking from their front door to their car(s) can often be a longer journey than most Europeans would make walking to work. I know a number of American's whose houses are roughly the size of Leeds.

well, where i am from, you can drive for godknows 5 hours and still be in the city? that is another reason why i dont drive. i'd rather live in tiny flats and never have to drive, it doesn't bother me, i'm small.

also, that way my personal carbon footprint account will allow me to fly often, which is what i really enjoy doing.

i assume you can't walk to work or the store there either then, huh?

I'd find a way to drive my house to work, if there wasn't such a stigma over mobile homes. :o

no, i walk anywhere.
public transport ONLY if it's a must.
god knows i hate the smell of armpits and cheetos.

And it's about 80 minutes from here to Avebury, the biggest henge monument in Britain.

It'd take me 1.5 hours to walk to my dads to pick up typing down a major hwy. So 3 hours round trip and certain death. For my other job I drive around making sales calls all day. I'd be able toake 2 calls and look like shit. We are also one of the windiest places in the world.I'm guessing I'm gonna leave a big carbon foot print. Otherwise I'm not going to be able to fit in my 70 hour work week.

I walk to the bar though when the roads are bad! Last time was hard. 14 inches of snow uphill. Ugh.

or might replace that with kebab and socks.

I'd walk everywhere, if my heated leather seats came too.

but it's ok, because you don't have easyjet.

heated leather seats? you know how that sounds, yeah?
yeah you do.

And less than 6 hours to Hadrian's Wall.

if I were a barbarian (and I am), I'd have no trouble getting over that puny thing.

it can't be any more difficult than scaling the starplex amphitheater in Dallas, in order to score hot older women, who actually paid to see Rod Stewart.

:o

So if someone spent 6 nights in uk, what would be the not to miss things? I've not been there in 30 years. Haha. Would it be dumb to book same hotel every night or do we need to move around more?

jeezus this thread has metastasized

not sure i can read it all

anyway it thought of this-- for the sake of science

go to italy

make sure to visit the vatican & get "blessed' by the pope.

the devil's favorite girl will sure catch fire-- but will the kid as well?

make sure to bring an extinguisher if things go awry

a bit dangerous, for sure-- but the amount & quality of data you could collect would be amazing!

How about a house swap? You come and stay in our house and we stay in yours.

That way you can be somewhere 30 minutes from Stonehenge and 40 minutes from London and I can rifle through your drawers.

we were told that instead of buying a package deal with hotel lodging included, it would be better (and cheaper) to stay at Bed and Breakfasts.

PLEASE RECOMMEND THEM BELOW:



part of the difficulty in choosing the right place, is that we are taking our son with us. I don't smoke around him. I'd say "we", but GG doesn't smoke much anymore.

I would much rather see the ruins in greece than those in rome (second rate rip-offs imo). I'd also like to buy you dinner, but I think the UK's winning.

I'd say don't worry too much, since everyone hates American tourists wherever they go, anyway.

that's ok. I get lots of practice. :)

hey pookie i passed by basingstoke today and wonder about the blue quartz.

Arrived today safe and sound thanks. I do love getting a package in the post:).

I was going to take a picture but seem to have lost my camera:(.

Why do you keep passing by here? Can't be for the KFC alone surely. Apparently they have it in other towns:confused:.

I had to do some work at bournemouth.

btw, i hate kfc.

you know what's weird? you don't have biscuits at your kfcs. by biscuits i mean biscuits...NOT COOKIES.

you rock people should let me send you a rose rock.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_rock

I'm sure we've had this "discussion" before, but enlighten me. What is a biscuit in your strange world?

like a scone, but not. definitely lighter and fluffier. delicious with white gravy. what's white gravy? no! it's not white sauce. it's fucking gravy.

I've visited both of them, and I like them both.
But there's more to visit in Italy, and the food is better, and many people speak french or english (unlike in Greece, they only speak greek)

Your very own Okie rock! I'll have one.

The only rocks native to these parts are made of diamante.

does england even count as europe? they don't make wine and the food is shit. that doesn't sound like europe. sounds like old-school 'merica, minus the dentistry, and extra verbal affectations.

save the money & stay at home & drink warm beer-- you'll feel the same.

anyway, try to have fun, in spite of your destination.

pm me your addy, pookie, and i'll send one over (mwahaha). knox? you want one?

i'm pretty sure england doesn't count as europe, but we're going nonetheless (despite my dad repeatedly telling the husband i don't get to tell him what we do with HIS money)

amazing.

It's basically unleavened bread by the look of the recipe I looked up. And white gravy is pretty much just béchamel sauce. Sounds bloody revolting.

Mwahaha?:(

don't make me break up with you. white gravy is made with meat drippings.

i'm only mwahahaing because then i'll have your address? :)
