I noticed that too. It was nice. I really like her videos. I need a new digital camera that will take videos too. Then I could bore you all with riding metro trains through dark tunnels.

If it's personal attacks you're into, you've picked the wrong person I'm afraid, I don't give a flying fat rat's arse. If you've got a valid argument that might change my opinion on something then you'll earn my respect.

Having said that, I'm married with kids, so you're probably right, I do need some good sex for a change.

As for the infantile poo eating remark, I'll try anything once, you first though...

A bit of sex - although a welcome diversion - wouldn't make me lose my interest in other people's lives. But suggestions are always welcome of course.

Anyway.

Yes, I did thank the bus driver, but that's pretty standard here. I noticed when I was waitressing in London that Americans don't say please and thank you as much as we do. But once I realised it was just a cultural thing and nothing to do with manners it didn't bother me - after all the tips were so much better!

If I get bad service in a bar my main protest is not to say Thank You. But it's so ingrained it pops out anyway. Grrrrrrrr.

Thanks for the kind comments - as I'm only providing links I assume I'm not taking up bandwidth (does that make sense?) so I'll keep posting them. I'll include commentary on the next one.

Why does no one just answer the question?

Thank you for your kindness, btw.

You're doing fine and it's much appreciated, thank you. :D

btw, the picture of the birds was from the Washington post.

I forgot about your picture in my excitement at being told to go & have sex!

:smack: Don't tell them about the birds! We market ourselves on not having dangerous spiders, snakes, mosquitos... we don't like to talk about the feathered peck monsters.

I'm afraid the cat's out.....er bird's out of the bag, after making the Washington post's day in pictures section. Now the whole world knows your dirty little secret. Well, one of your dirty little secrets. :D

Meh...you're an ass.

I don't care what your opinions are, and I wouldn't waste my time trying to change them. What bugs me is your judgemental fucking attitude, as though you know what's best and everyone else sucks. Piss on that.

rkzenrage, the situation re: wheelchair access is mixed. Some places are very very good and conscientious and some places aren't. Mostly the places that aren't are very old (usually listed) buildings which would be difficult or expensive to adapt. Most pubs and large shops are fine. Some of the smaller places aren't.

Thanks. I appreciate that, as well as the PM from SG.
At least I know there would be some ramps.

The problem, I think, is that some of these people are killing each other in the name of all that is Holy to them.

And others in the name of what is sacrosacnt to them......and in the name of whatever might most benefit their country.

Another stroll through the city centre, with commentary.

Quite random again I'm afraid, without even nearly falling over for your delight. One of these days I'll plan it properly in advance and show you something of real interest and make intelligent observations. In the mean time it's just me wandering about in my lunch hour and trying not to get annoyed with the other pedestrians. Can't they see I'm doing my programme?!

Genuine apologies for the sound quality. It is poorer than it should be as I didn't account for the wind (Leicester is the windiest place I have ever lived). I'll keep my mouth closer to the mike on top of the camera if I do another one.

I like these strolls. Looks like a nice place to live. Lots of hubub, but pedestrian friendly.

I haven't tampered with this (as you can tell from the reflection of the lights!). Spectacular sunset tonight - the colours are true as far as I could tell.
