I fucking hate CenturyLink.

FIFY

Ahem.

This immigrant spent a considerable period of his life in the US being lazy.

Couldn't you just park your van somewhere else?

You should also grow tulips in the beds of them.

So sorry to hear that G.

Deepest condolences to you and yours.

Watching my grandmother be taken by it was one of the most painful memories of childhood.

That's pretty fucked up to ski away.

You have to also wonder about this by the first group though
Sounds like they were fairly lucky to have not set it off themselves even if skiing it one at a...

We should have a place for the music threads.

He didn't get far. It was on treadmill.

What are the odds of that!!!

Yes.

Check your PM's

Yep you'll have seen everything in Paris by Thursday lunchtime.

Saw that he Chinese TV adaption "Three-Body" is on Prime.

Exactly. If they hadn't pulled out of Russia they would have lost more in customer boycotts worldwide.

And it was the moral thing to do.

Oh poor old Starbucks.

There were 140 stores in Russia. That's only 23 more than in the city of Phoenix.

The favicon is fucked up too.

I wasn't sure if that was actually an intended upgrade.

Looking forward to 3 Body Problem.

Never read the book.

It is. My grandparents lived a block away from the main entrance. I remember as a little kid being given a penny from grandma's purse to pay the one penny daily admission and pushing the big rotating...

Clearly you never went to the Becton Alps.

No.

This is just wrong. Punting is not a London thing.

It would be like riding a Venetian gondola around Manhattan.

Yep.

Pulled out of his ass.

I'm curious.

Where else have you travelled too?

OP's first trip to London and only a few days?

IMHO the suggestions to go visit somewhere else (Paris WTF!?) make no sense.

He's not even going to scratch the surface of London.

Been gone nearly 25 years to the day.

First time visitors always enjoyed the hop on hop off double decker bus tours.

Olly Bearman in for Carlos.

He's from my hometown, went to the rival high school to mine.

Go get 'em kid!

A shingles line?

Try harder.

He appeared to be in over his head before the avalanche happened.
