Congrats Özgür!

Thanks a lot guys. We have an idealist lecturer. I'm really enjoying it.

When you want to keep up with technology but are still feeling the old school vibes.

I had one of those for my old Android phone.  It doesn't work with my iPhone though, so now it's a dust collector.

 

The handset that is, not the Jesus piece.

Met Joanne in London and paid a visit to The Shard

Nice Views!

Posh loo is well posh!

It must be very empowering to take a potty before a potential audience of a million people.

Alec took the SSAT high school entrance exam today. Asked him how it went and the sum total feedback was: "Piece of piss! Let's go to Subway, I'm starving."

Let's hope this optimistic assessment is in fact borne out once the scores come back.

[Dusty Chalk]

Wait, that's 'optimistic'?  Lingo these days...

[Hopstretch]

I think it was probably originally a bastardization of "piece of cake" and "piss easy". But yeah, "piece of piss" in Brit slang would be the equivalent of "no sweat" etc. in the US.

[Dusty Chalk]

Oh, okay, I was trying to start with “taking the piss” and evolving it from there and just plain getting lost in nonexistent, fictitious etymologies...

[Grahame]

Saw the wind farms off Brighton ...

[Sechtdamon]

I forgot to tell you yesterday...

Now I'm qualified and registered enterpreneur!!!

Course has been finished. Also, the lecturer (asst. Prof. Aydın Kayabaşı) likes me and my business idea, he became my Mentor.

Things are going good. Only selling the hecking speakers left between me and 1st phase of my dreams.

Thanks for your support guys!

[Hopstretch]

Congrat! Good news. ?

[Sechtdamon]

We came to vet. Fluffy needs shots and şirin got a wound on her cheek. Wish us luck...

Update:

Şirin got 2 stiches. Got tranquilised now. Outside is forbidden for her and have to wear this shit for 1 month.

Fluffy is fine. Got mixed shot and passport.

On our last night in England, went for a country walk with one of Joanne's Brothers

Ending at a country pub where Joanne's other Brother joined us 

For food and drinks

 

[Dusty Chalk]

England. It’s all about the pubs.

[Hopstretch]

That looks like the North Downs?

You don't get to say this every day, but I bought (most of) a goat from a guy right around there in Leigh. We made curry out of it. Goat curry is the tits.

[Grahame]

Can Confirm. If you like living dangerously, we visited a hole in the wall Indian in the tenderloin once. Goat Curry was only on the Menu Thursdays when a van delivered the goats, or some such. Recollection is hazy.

Nice mid morning to early afternoon ride

A bit tired after that so I'll switch to something a little less physically demanding until it starts to get dark..
