Holidays, Day 2

Yesterday doesn’t count as I had gotten off the plane and was quite knackered, but there was still some fun & some frustrations.
Landed at Gatwick, which seems to be under a huge renovation. Got through Customs fairly quickly, with the Brits believing I am no threat to British National Security. So that bit was easy. [...]

LBW 2010 – and other sh*t

I have been informed by a certain Mr Cantrell that I am under orders to come to LBW2010 and Mr Geeklawyer concurs; so I have no choice, I am under orders from two peeps who “believe” they are my overlords.  Not only is my presence demanded/required I have to work!

Holidays

I have started to think a little more deeply about my upcoming sojourn in the Land of Bangers & Mash.
Mr Deviant Chaperone requires two items from me – a Hello Kitty and 500ml of Maple Syrup
Lawminx – she wants a Nurse Kitty, Geeklawyer couldn’t get one while visiting Japan a few weeks ago. I can’t [...]

England it is

After much thought I have decided to forego the pleasures of the City of Lights and instead travel to the land of tea and crumpets — England. Not the United Kingdom, but England (I don’t plan on going to Scotland, N Ireland or Wales).
I shall avail myself of the opportunity to take advantage of Geeklawyer’s [...]
