And now what did you do TODAY?

[acidbasement]

It doesn't (until today) happen here. That's why the guy was able to walk into the Parliament buildings with a long gun. I doubt if that could easily happen in the US capitol building.

The soldier who died wasn't even armed. Dammit.

[robm321]

No gun, but we did let someone wander into the White House recently.

[livewire]

You can bet that his successors will be armed to the teeth like these good old boys.

 

[grawk]

from the footage I saw, they have no shortage of those guys already.

[Grahame]

Tried NFC photo transfer

Came to the realization that the general public's taste in headphones differs from mine, while browsing the headphone selection available airside at SFO international

[shellylh]

You can't get that unless you have some gold teeth to go with it.

[Grahame]

And the taste bypass

[Augsburger]

And the taste bypass

The medical term for that is "Lobotomy".

[Dusty Chalk]

Yeezh

"how to get robbed"

"how to get robbed"

How to get robbed twice.

Arrived at LHR. Met at airport by rental "rep-mobile". Pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be, rather than a ford or Vauxhall but instead, a VW Passat TDI 2.0 blue motion with sat nav and leather, for the same price. Result!

Somewhat tempered by the fact, that filling the tank from 1/4 full, at the link local Tesco's was just over 73 quid. Call it 100 quid for a full tank (estimated 700 mile range)

Got back to Joanne's Mother's, to find her brother washing his new toy

I got to ride shotgun, with the top down, on a quick blast, "to dry the brakes"

Need to rest now. Didn't get much sleep on the flight.

Not as fun as Grahame's travels, but took the afternoon off and went with some co-workers to Lagunitas Chicago brewery. Pretty impressive, and I already knew I was pretty much a Lagunitas slut anyhow.

 

 

 

Cool wall mural made from bottlecaps

 

 

 

Also stopped at Urban Legend in Westmont on our way back. Pretty good stuff, and a cool little place!. Sorry for the crappy iphone pics.

Always loved Morgans Graham.

Just keep the termites away!

The aficionados call them "moggies" apparently, and the timber sub-frame now has a rubber seal. Termites not a big issue in the UK (too damp?)

[Absorbine_Sr]

I am jealous of your brother in law Grahame. I've wanted a Morgan since I first laid eyes on one.

[blessingx]

In reverse, I was opening boxes. 

 

[cetoole]

Now you just have to lift the speakers up onto them.

[CD44hi]

Hey Chris if you need help hoisting the speakers up there, let me know. I can do one weekday evening.

[Dusty Chalk]

Yeah, ditto, although I can probably only do weekends.

[Fitz]

Played KF with Brent and Colin. Colin was terrible as usual.

[grawk]

good to see you're still alive, fritzy

[Fitz]

Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.
