This is my latest crazy idea to have a general conversation going over and above any content I post on the site. This post will sit at the top of the pile on the front page of the redesigned Selfish Blogger for easy access. If it works quite well I’ll start a new ‘conversation post’ each month.
Bizarrely it feels like a good thing to do. Not everything I post is of interest to each of the lovely people who check in here. For those times, I thought it would be nice to have somewhere to drop a message, a reminder or an insult.
Also, it’s fair to say that I’m a sporadic or irregular blogger but just becasue I don’t post new material, doesn’t mean I’ve fallen off the face of the earth. I like the idea that I’ll be able to drop a quick comment when I’m not able or don’t feel like posting anything of substance.
So come on – hit me up – yak at me – chew my ear off!

That’s just like me that is. Starts a conversation then runs away. It’s nearly midnight here in the UK and I’ve spent hours fighting with my site. I haven’t finished improving (or ruining – depending on your point of view) the layout and look yet, but I’ve had enough for today. G’night!
I LOVE it, G! It’s perfect. I’ll be back all regular like. I wish I’d thought of the same thing for my Fortress of Solitude. Maybe someday.
Dude I stole the idea from you when you had a short break at WriterDad. Stole it, I say!
Heh, I designated a whole portion of the forum attached to my blog just for me to post whatever random crap I feel like. Some people take exception to this, I think you know where they can go.
I feel a great pressure to say something remarkable, but honestly, all I wanted to do was get email notification when you post a new comment. Perhaps tomorrow I will be remarkable. No, astonishing! Tomorrow I will have something astonishing to say.
Ah yes, we know exactly what htey can do. And they probably should too!
…all I wanted to do was get email notification when you post a new comment. Bloody marvelous! I was hoping folks would do exactly that. I might have known you’d see the genius part of my plan. Hehe.
Just for a hoot I’ve added a “Do Follow” plugin to the site. It seems to be working site wide. I’m not sure it’s quite what I want for SB but I’m trying it out. I had originally hoped to have some control over it, but does it really matter? Hmm?
OK it’s time to fill the car with diesel, get a quick grocery shop in and collect my daughter from playgroup.
I wuv this! Now I’ll know exactly where to go when you’ve gone missing again and the withdrawals kick in. And you know I’m in love with the new look! It’s so pretty I want to hug it.
Yeah, I thought it would be like a place where people can easily find me when I go missing, and I DO go missing from time to time. So I’m glad you feel the same way. I’m hoping that I’ve changed the site just enough so it doesn’t look like Thesis straight out of the box. I need to learn more so that I can make it look totally unlike Thesis. Hug it. Hug it good.
Anyway, what happened to your site redesign?
Typical bloke, can’t stop tinkering around with things.
I’m betting you took the whole site to pieces, lost a couple, blamed your kids, found them then threw it all back together again, sat back, broke wind and had a pint.

I was working on being funny today on my post….I think I even made a few folks laugh, but quite a few told me what made them laugh out loud! and then I laughed…
Tara’s comment here made me laugh…wow is she funny…
This is kind of what happens on Deep Friar when they “fritter” rather than twitter and he gets 350 comments about vikings and cartoons and such all from his post about catching 5 fish….his dog came back after 24 days and the hoopla was I think 400 comments long…
Now those architectural, engineering blogs wow they never comment and are almost never funny….I get tired of reading them…even in socks!
good idea…
This is really a mechanism to hide my lack of creativity. I blame my lack of posting on time constraints but really there’s nothing going on inside my head. I’m really just thinking about one thing all the time – everything else I do is stolen from others.
Wow Tara, I want to learn how to roll a comment like this right onto the page…will you do a tutorial? I will sign up..
I know! And it wasn’t even broken.
I am man. I am strong. Ugg.
Oh really. Talk about tinkering.
Tara Cain – just look at you with your sticky fingers in all those pies. I see that you’re writing at Have A Lovely Time
Time for a fart and a pint?
Have you ever farted IN the pint? It makes bubbles.
[rq=2660,0,blog][/rq]Wrapping the Morning Glories
Never in my own drink.
Fancy a pint?
I just wanted to shout “OMG why won’t these people leave me alone?!?!” at somebody who understands.
Actually, occasionally they will leave me alone and that’s when it gets scary.
I don’t think it’s so much that I have all these kids is the problem, it’s that 2 of them are toddlers.
[rq=2662,0,blog][/rq]People who need pupa are the pluckiest people
I understand. Very well indeed. I have one who is screeching at me now for no apparent reason. It’s funny when I think about it.
I don’t know what I did to those children, but they sure were letting me know I done wrong.
During naptime I could be writing a post to finish my series on life coaching, or implementing some of the things my coach taught me but instead I’m thinking up a design for a “My Life Coach Thinks I’m Awesome” t-shirt.
If Tim drops by, I’m not trying to pressure you but I think coaching should come with a t-shirt. Never underestimate the power of a positive t-shirt!
[rq=3025,0,blog][/rq]People who need pupa are the pluckiest people
During nap time I could be taking a nap. I miss nap time.
A T-Shirt with Tim’s big fat head on it would be positively repulsive. I take it your design doesn’t feature his features? Do you really think he needs some merchandise? Could be an earner!
The 4 year old doesn’t nap, but on desperate days can be parked in front of the tv. He used to love when I’d have sessions with Tim because I’d let him play computer the entire hour. I wouldn’t hear a peep out of him, no lie! Remind me again why I don’t do that all of the time?
No merchandise for Tim! Merchandise for me! Such a shirt would need to be pink, would it not? And he never actually said “I think you are awesome” so he can’t sue me. It is perfectly legal to fib if you are a humor blogger you know.
[rq=3057,0,blog][/rq]People who need pupa are the pluckiest people
Remind me again why I don’t do that all of the time?
Errr… because you’re a GOOD parent!!
Oh, well if it’s merchandise for you, then you should go to town. Have aspeech bubble coming out of his face with some of his catchphrases. Or maybe a picture of him wearing a TShirt with your face on it saying Tracy Is Awesome.
LOL! The comments on this post alone is reason enough to keep this feature FOR EVER.
You guys are all crazy, too, by the way.
I’m actually waiting for a little free time to do the redesign. I’m sure life will get less busy any time now. Right?
[rq=3248,0,blog][/rq]Because I’ve been sick and/or busy for the past week this is all you’re getting. Move along, please, nothing to see here.
They ARE bloody crazy aren’t they. Amuses the hell of me though.
Free time? Nah! You won’t be getting any of that now you do that thing. You know… that “work” thing, whatever that is.
Am I allowed to say ‘Fuck you Fowler’ for no obvious reason, but just in case I missed something that I should have said that to?
If not please accept my begrudging apologies and I’ll not say it again. As for TC (and I’m not referring to Top Cat either) I’ll sue your ass if you ever even so much as smile again and don’t credit me for it.

Hey Tim!
I was going to email you my guest post but I thought that since we’re all buddies here, I’d share it with the gang, too. I’m super excited about it!!!!!!!!
Hope you like it!
Seven Ways to Lead a More Better Life
1. Get Plenty of Sleep!
If you do not, you will be tired and have unsightly circles under your eyes. Also, you might get bored eventually because all those hours you were awake you were doing stuff and will soon run out of interesting stuff to do. If you sleep more, you’ll save stuff for other days and will probably not be tired of life until you are really old. Like 60!
2. Drink lots of water!
Not too much though because if you keep going to the bathroom, people might think you are: 1. a cocaine addict. 2. Pregnant (my husband asks this every time I got to the girls room more than 1 time per movie) or 3. Bulimic. You could do bladder training exercises to try and hold more in, but frankly, I think it’s just nasty to be walking around with all that wee-wee inside.
3. Use coupons to save money!
It’s the secret the food industry doesn’t want you to know about!
4. Get plenty of exercise!
If your body looks good other people will admire it and say “Hey you, you look GOOD!!!’ and that will make you feel good. I don’t know what will happen when you are all old and wrinkly, but I’m sure by then you will have saved up enough self esteem that you won’t miss it too much. Also, much easier to find cute clothes if your butt is right-sized.
5. Keep your mind active!
Yeah, I know Wheel of Fortune has gotten really scary now that it’s in HD but solving those puzzles is a great way to keep your brain nimble. Try not to yell at stupid ass dummyheads for buying vowels too much though, aggression is bad for your heart!
6. Find hobbies!
You can’t sleep all day so find something to occupy you in your spare time lest you start picking at your skin or plucking out your eyebrows. That’s what bored monkeys do, you know. Whatever you do though, don’t take up knitting, the world has enough people selling on etsy right now, thankyouverymuch.
7. Don’t eat anything with arms!
Trust me on this one. Legs are fine. Wings, groovy. But anything that has arms is really creepy and bad for your karma.
Happy living!

Snort – runs away.
[rq=3456,0,blog][/rq]The Museum Of Snack Foods
Tim, I totally deserved it. I can’t remember why but I’m sure I did. I don’t know much about suing people but I’m sure you can’t just sue specific bodily parts. I think it has to be the whole person. (That’s a freebie BTW, my gift to you if you like). Come back for advice anytime!
LMAO Tracy. So much so I think I need a little wee. Problem is I only went five minutes ago and I don’t want my wife to think I’m pregnant.
Now I would very much love to see bored monkeys knitting and selling on Etsy.That would be a turn up for the books! Actually I’d like to see Tim Brownson knitting and selling on Etsy. I think he could corner the market in wool mankinis.
LOVED the snort BTW (your snort at the end – not the cocaine). *GRIN*
What the heaven and hell has been going on over here? I turn my back for 5 mintues and it’s like the common room at sixth form college.
And anyway, I’d so buy a T-shirt with Tim’s head on it. A huge forehead like that is considered a sign of royal bloodlines in some cultures.
And I’m betting Dave can tell us which ones . . .
[rq=3720,0,blog][/rq]Having A Lovely Time
And in other cultures it’s a sign of needing a hat in winter or moving to live in a warmer climate making the purchase of a winter hat unnecessary. Actually Tim doesn’t look like a hat wearer. More a knoted handkerchief type.
Tim’s face could be the next big thing. Soon we could see it everywhere.
The comments certainly are all over the place.
I started to comment when you first posted it, but couldn’t think of anything to write so came back later and I still can’t think of anything to write so I’ll just move on to the next blog and see if I can think of anything to write there.
[rq=4153,0,blog][/rq]Stormy Weather and Wednesday Weigh-In, June 10, 2009
Hi Mike, I love the way the conversation has moved around. And your comment about not being able to think of a comment made me chuckle. Come back and say nothing anytime you like! lol
Just following on from what Mike said above, it dawns on me that there’s no need to even read or pretend to read this post before commenting. The only thing anyone needs to do is write something.
I once bathed in duck droppings whilst eating a cheese baguette and listening to Brahms Symphony Number Bucket in Morris minor played on an old tin of spam.
Ahhh, good times my friend, good times.

Dear Mr Snodgrass, thank you for your recent enquiry about safety workboots for goldfish, however I must tell you that your inside leg measurement precludes you from eating salad off your great aunt Enid’s toenail collection. If you wish to ingest brickdust through your eyeballs I suggest you stop breathing goat farts and start stealing hub caps from camels. Yours truly, Sir Ablert Bumblefink.
Oh man, you’ll like this one, Dave. So all of this time I was wondering why on earth Feedburner says I have a lousy 34 subscriptions while Google reader says I have over a hundred (yeah whatever Tim of the 2K subscribers, I’m getting there).
Anyway, I finally realized that the reason was that I did not have my RSS subscribers signing up through feedburner, just whatever generic RSS thingy wordpress has.
So I have no idea how many people subscribe! And it probably doesn’t even matter but despite Tim’s best coaching I still kind of think I need to win the whole Internet.
.-= Tracy´s last blog ..The Museum Of Snack Foods =-.
It’s odd isn’t it. I only use the regular WP feed thingy here. Elsewhere I signed up with the feedburner people (who I’m fairly sure are owned by Google anyway). My subscribed readership has never broken 40 so I just can’t be bothered. At the moment I’ve got 16 subscribers here. I had 17 until sometime last week when some fool decided to ditch me. Bastard.
Tim is totally anal about his subsribers. He’s got each and every one of them plotted out on Google Maps.
Is there something one has to do over and above signing up with feedburner and insalling the feedsmith plugin??
When you finally do own the whole interwebs will you let Timbo keep his site?
1. I will let Tim keep his site but he’ll have to have a matching logo to mine but with his face, of course. Pink is a great color, so youthful!
2. You know the real reason my site is all pink now? I got tired of people on other sites calling me He, so I asked for a pink logo and design and put my cartoon face all over it. They still call me he. I think that’s a risk to having a site about eating grody stuff.
3. The feedburner/feed/subscribers thing confused me! I think it always will. I’m just glad I can now blame my low numbers on an error rather than me having low numbers.
4. My husband has accussed me of being an English football hooligan based on me listening to music like this while I clean:
http://www.ihatemymessageboard.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=38778
I think he’s full of it. Do I look like a troublemaker to you? Or English? Or like I’ve ever seen football?
.-= Tracy´s last blog ..The Museum Of Snack Foods =-.
!. I’ve got a pink shirt which clearly makes me hip to the groove.
“. Dude, you don’t look like a dude to me.
£. I blame my low numbers on being brilliant but deciding to be crap.
$. You have cleaning music. I’m impressed you yobbo, you.
Here’s a new one…
CommentLuv is getting on my nerves. I can;t format it. I might turn it off.
I had to look up Yobbo, but I do know what Chav is! Paul had to explain to a coworker and his wife that Burberry was not considered the plaid of the Gods in England because of the Chavs. I was like dude, Burberry track suits aren’t exactly considered upper crust here either. I do not think my husband respects Americans much.
Chavs are great for mocking.
LOL at your take on Burberry.
Oh and I got some email about having to reupload comment luv so maybe that’s your problem.
Thanks but I’m so cheesed off with it, I’ve removed it. Bloody thing.
THIS is why you should film yourself while you’re eating all that crap! And because I totally want to see you eat crap. And other icky stuff.
.-= Adrenalynn´s last blog ..It’s gotten so bad that I actually photographed myself during my lunchbreak so I could have something to blog about. =-.
I’m so unphotogenic though! My husband even looks at pictures of me and says “I don’t understand, you’re pretty in real life”
On video it’s 300 times worse!
So which of The Three Stooges does he reckon you look like?
Holy crap, this might be the funniest thing on all the intra nets.
Other than Honest Sean.
What is honest Sean? How did you get the ad between the name fields and typing box? I have so many questions!
It is my sincere hope that ‘Honest Sean’ reaches the eyes of a broad minded audience, but until the author decides to share it, my lips are sealed.
The Ads above the comment box? Bloody genius or what?? Woo Hoo.
It’s a Thesis Hooks thing. Are you versed in such matters? If not I’ll be happy to help… although maybe tomorrow as itl;s my bedtime soon.
No, I meant to have a poke around thesis but well, I didn’t. I wonder if instead of an ad, I could give my posters a rotating series of compliments to reward them for commenting.
No. You want to discourage that sort of thing. In the end they’ll get used to it and demand the right to do it all the time.
Makes you wonder why we aren’t saving our good material for our own blogs doesn’t it?
Heh, this is like the after hours bar where all the people that work at the regular bars go after work. That was very smart of Fowler because everyone knows people in the industry tip much better than civilians.
It’a all about spreading the love and not being selfish like me.
Dear Dave,
Why you aren’t on Twitter anymore? I need help!
I tweeted this:
Thanks @TimBrownson now I’m upset that Biggie is dead yet Diddy lives on. Explain how that’s fair, Mr. Life Coach Man!
And now some guy thinks that I’m probably the most awful person on the planet and is sending my photo to Sean “Diddy” Comb’s security detail in case I should come near.
You are missing all the good stuff!!
Or are you avoiding Twitter because of my callous and depraved Tweets.
In any case, it’s all Tim’s fault.
Couldn’t agree more. Time is to blame for everything that’s wrong in this world.
Twitter is too much of a time suck for me at the moment so I haven’t been there much. Funnily enough I’m actually achieving things of substance in real life. I KNOW!! How crazy is that?!
I’ll probably dip in at some point this week to abuse you and a few other select individuals.
Ooh, I want to hear more about these things of substance. Unless they will make me feel guilty, then don’t tell me.
My latest time suck, I got one of those stumble upon su.pr beta codes, so I thought I’d play around with it a bit. It includes analytics, that sort of thing, so everything I’ve tweeted, I used that to shorten the URL.
Now, it not only tells you how many people clicked your link, but how much stumble traffic was sent to the site. So, of course, for my own links I already had a good idea but I tweeted a friends link which was some video she found someplace else and pasted it in her blog with a hahaha and it got tons more thumbs up than my post that I slaved over for hours.
So now I am in misery! Misery! And it’s all because I didn’t listen when some guy somewhere told me not to compare myself with others.
I like this post, it’s a great place to go when I get stuck. And by now I think everyone who reads it knows I’m not entirely sensible so no need to “put on a mask”, so to speak.
I’ll let you know as soon as I get the Death Ray and Time Machine working consistently. It’s the usual world domination stuff.
Stumble stuff sounds interesting. Where can I find that then?
I suppose this post is similar in nature to a ‘Message Board’, no?
It really is, and eventually I’ll hate you all too but for now it’s all good.
Hey, I love the new look of the site and the feature up top. Very cool.
And yes, to Tracy, you DO look like a trouble maker!
Thanks BD, it’s not quite how I want it but it’s 80% there. the other 20% will take me 50% more effort, so I’m 100% certain I’ll leave it as it is.
If only I had your talent to offer a Site Design Service.
Thanks for teh feedback though. That’s made my day.
Can you believe it? I’ve actually posted a new article! Whatever next?
How To Delete ALL Your Twitter Direct Messages In One Go
I found it and had to share it. It saved me hours.
You should do a post asking people what the biggest mistake they ever made in their entire life was?
Let me kick it off by telling you mine. It happened fairly recently when I was trawling the Interwebtranet and I stumbled on a site. I felt sorry for the owner of a small time no-name blog and thought I’d brighten his miserable, worthless, low-life day with a breezy life affirming comment.
Just in case he replied with a flood of tears and appreciation I decided to sign up for comments. Thus started the worst frickin week of my life as all his mates (almost certainly him under different names btw, cuz I doubt he has any fucking mates!) continued to comment on anything and everything banal under the sun and battered my inbox like a Faroe Islander on a baby seal clubbing mission.
Things got so bad I had to set up special rule in Mail that said kill any e-mail that has Fowler or Selfish in it with extreme prejudice.
What was your worst mistake prey tell?
That dude sounds like such a waste of skin. Far better to kill him and use that skin to make ‘skin suit’ for yourself. Which you could wear at family get-togethers. I mean honestly, doesn’t this complete tool know which side his bread is buttered. So he gets a B List blogger like yourself visiting his blog and he treats you badly? I would never do that to you Tim. You can rely on that me ol’ muckka.
My biggest mistake was spending a fortune on a diamond necklace for my wife’s 40th birthday only for her to wear it once before putting it away never to be seen again.
So what was that guy’s name? Fowler?
Never heard of him!
Skin suit hey? Hmm, I like the sound of that and I can even use his scrotum to carry stuff in. Not much stuff of course, but maybe a shot of brandy in case I get lost in some Alpine village in northwest Kenya surrounded by those killer pigs that have shorter than normal legs and my retreat was cut off by a huge pile of sandals that had been left lying around from when they made Spartacus.
I’m Spartacus and no I’m not gay, the bath scene was no in anyway shape homoerotic, we were talking about football not oysters.
Or you could use his scrotum as a hair piece and get yourself an instant mop top.
It’s not unusual to be loved by anyone who hops to the butchers everyday to buy half a pound of tuppeny rice which they then invest in a highly risky hedge fund run by Sir Alan Sugar’s favourite race horse. I mean you can take a race horse to water but you can’t make it grate cheese.
You are Spartacus.
David Wright has published a new post entitled My Little WHAT?! and the fugger has closed the comments after just two people left remarks. Damn! That’s mean!
Update: I can’t even get the page to load now.
Another update: He’s all back online now. Meltdown averted.
Ha! You want a meltdown, try 55 women arguing over Jon and Kate (well just the Kate this time)
It ended with somebody posting YOU FUCKING DELETE MY ACCOUNT NOW at me.
I admit, I am baffled by people with children who can say no doubt in their mind that they’d never unintentionally do anything rude to their children. Hello! You can’t plan for the crap you don’t intend to do!
(Dear Tim Brownson I know you have no idea what I am talking about. Just go with it)
Tracy, you’ve lost me there. Who are Jon and Kate? And who wants their account deleted? Sounds like an excellent fight. I need to get me some of that.
Jon and Kate Plus 8! The family on TV here that have twins and sextuplets. It’s extraordinarily divisive.
A poster had a bit of a meltdown on the thread. I’d link you but you’d be so lost it wouldn’t be funny. Actually it would be hilarious (to me) if you popped in and just commented on the whole thing from an outsiders perspective, but I couldn’t ask you to wade through 400 posts of screeching just for me.
So, I unregistered her but before I did I’d told her she crossed over the line to abuse in calling another a lying c-word, among other things and that she should step away and get some perspective because if she persisted there would be consequences.
Next we’ll go through a round of We’re NOT children, how dare you tell us what we can say!
And yet, despite my evil ways they stay. I don’t understand people one bit.
Oh Brilliant. I love this stuff but I avoid it whenever I can. I get sucked into reading these exchanges and feel the urge to try and mediate. It;s a terrible habit.
I know nothing about what’s going on in the world. I only vaguely knew about these people but I didn’t know their names.
Anyway, too right you gave the poster a pep talk, freedom of speech has its limits (as bizarre as that sounds). Carry on doing an excellent job.
Thanks! I think most people would see it that way, but I’m sure you’ve seen from comments on blogs some sort of weird over-investment and lack of perspective happens with folks. I’m learning to ignore most of it, for the longest time I’d go in a rage because I resented it so much. Now that I feel more confident, it’s a bit funny that some folks see themselves as some sort of freedom crusaders.
Jon and Kate are a couple who had twins with fertility drugs then 6 more children and do their scripted lives on TV as a reality show and to get a million dollar house…
I believe it is child abuse wrapped in Americana idiocracy…
Now Octomom and Kate are feuding over their tv shows. and apparently Jon had an affair right before the start of their new TV season…
So Tracy did a post and tons of folks are writing about kate and jon and arguing until someone had enough and wanted out of the subscription to Tracy’s post….
Hope I am not taking away from Tracy here…but I thought I would explain to Tracy here why I haven’t been around her post for awhile until the dust settles…I am still reading…
Pretty much, except it was my forums, not the blog. There’s no way I would have allowed it to go on nearly that long on my blog.
If anyone is curious, http://www.ihatemymessageboard.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=38891 Warning: I use bad language
Patricia,
I’m glad to say I’m ignorant as to the details of these people’s lives. I think I’m better off that way.
Thanks for filling me in on the details though. It’s nice that you’d take the time to do that for me.
LOL @ Octomom. That’s a great name.
Oh yeah, Patricia I agree that it’s a horrible, horrible idea to feature kids on a reality show.
That said, it’s equally disgusting to me that the media is coming out with every little bit of damning footage involving Kate or Jon and people are just lapping it up.
Just look at I Love Lucy’s kids after being on their parents TV show…no ID left of who they are…It is one thing to feature special kids in a documentary style every couple of years, but this is voyeurism at its worst.
I think the parents response is what makes me the most ill..I am posting about the American Food Industry on Wednesday and I am in quite a mood after cutting down a 4,000 word post to 1,000…string ‘em all up…
and AFI is working on completing it take over of the UK….that was interesting research, but will help all the folks at Fit to Blog…understanding…
I am sure this post will not get 400 comments or go viral…but maybe some folks will get Dr. Kessler to their schools and communities…
Octomom is from the media…paparazzi She has 6 more children at home…14 in all
Thinks she is Angelina Jolie…without a Brad Pitt…
Only she is close to the poverty line with only her mum for help and a retired father in Poland
Patricia, that’s just frightening. I can’t even begin to imagine what life must be like.
Anyway, so I washed my hair in asses milk today. Quite nice.
You guys (and by guys I do mean DF and Tim) talk utter beeswax.
I came over here to see what interesting arc the conversation and taken and ye gods, you’re talking about skin and boys bits.
@ Patricia “She has 6 more children at home…14 in all. Thinks she is Angelina Jolie…without a Brad Pitt” Just genius!
Tara, that bloke brings out the worst in me. I think he’s trying to break me.
@ Tara
I may be nuts today but I have written and edited 5 posts and have 2 more intros to go and just feel on a roll of some kind.
Thank you for the high light….I needed that!
Patricia, that’s seriously productive. If only I could emmulate your success!
Hey Dave…this is great! I came over to catch up and look what I find. I feel like a inch worm crawling around. I am slowly but surely catching up on everyone only to find that I will never be caught up.
There is a huge world out there beyond the “net” and I am happy to see some of us are getting it!
Hi Tammy, I really hope people don’t try to catch up too much and just dive straight in.
The point being there’s no need to read the post and no need to read the comments – just leaving a few words and staying in touch is really the only point.
I’ve had much more time to play in the real world and my family will probably attest that I’m a nicer person for it. I’m slowly coming to accept that there’s not time enough to do it all, so I have to do what matters most.
Dave,
Is 250 pounds enough cash to get off the plane, get a ride to Earls Court and something to eat before the next business day? That is what I ordered up to have in pocket upon arrival?
I am not understanding the exchange rate at all
Question #2 I am trying to look up going to see the Crown Jewels, since my Great Grandfather designed a few…and my daughter does not want to see the (she arrives 2 days later) I can’t figure out how to look them up…I got a porn site this morning on all three tries!! Thank you
Now that I’ve stopped laughing…..
250 is more than enough. Plenty more than enough.
Try Tower of London.
Still grinning!
The porn site is why of course I thought to come here and ask questions..
Now THAT’S funny. Oh totally LMAO. Hahahahahaha.
Best. Comment. Ever.
Well that is a much better site and web address….and I am glad to know that I can figure out how to get around London a bit on my own…as I am sure my daughter thinks I am incompetent!….I just want to see some of the things that my mum talked about and touch base – I am not a good touristy tourist – I like meeting people more than wandering for hours in places. I will visit this site several times to figure it out.
We are going to Wicked on Friday night, my daughter’s gift – that will be great fun.
I am getting very excited. Thank you so much
So, is it less stalkerish to come here to check up on you than e-mailing you? Or is it worse?
I had the same question as Adrenalynne. I just wanted to see if you were breathing.
