  1. I left 2 years ago and no plan on going back to Texas. Wife and I got our U.K. passports in 2011 so was always the plan to get back to London. It just took a bit longer than planned when we moved back in 2020. Is London forever? Maybe, maybe not, but Texas is no longer on the radar. And the longer we live here, most of the US won’t be either. Although we do talk about Santa Fe or San Diego at times.
  2. No kidding. I’d kill for 200 in London
  3. Or not done. The story is changing by the hour over here.
  4. The winds are more than blowing, I think it’s done. Dave may not be headed to Barca now though. Feel bad for him but helps us.
  5. The secondary market is very difficult. In the past, I used our hotel concierge to get tickets.
  6. They released it because they knew they were going to sign him. Fuck
  7. Thought you weren’t watching. Fucking clown
  8. Because it’s really hard to talk trash when you keep getting the shit kicked out of you over and over? He just resorts to being a little bitch.
  9. These two arrived today. In great condition and feeling very good about the swap with the others I no longer wore.
  10. Well, that’s a bizarre comparison. Not trying to bring solace or show lack of sympathy. It’s just a fact - it cools off in 24 hours….
  11. It’s hot as shit here right now, 97f at 7pm now. Tomorrow will be hotter. I’m lucky in that my office has great air con and at home we have 2 portable units for the living room and bedroom. It’s actually not bad for us but lots of people are uncomfortable now. Will all be over in 24 hours though.
  12. Bought tickets to Springsteen in Hyde Park last week. Damn, July 6 2023 seems like a long fucking wait.
  13. Haven’t flown a ton out of London this year but have been to Marrakech, Croatia, Romania 2x, Dublin and Stockholm. Most for pleasure, some for business, and it’s been fine. A few long security lines (70 minutes) in my one flight out of Gatwick but otherwise manageable. Not as easy as pre-Covid times, but not as dramatic as the news makes it sound. But….you have to be very careful traveling around the school holidays/half terms here. That’s when it really goes to shit.
  14. No shit. I lived in Aberdeen for almost 4 years. “Gorgeous” was never a description that crossed my mind.
  15. Gatwick is much worse, and the worst in the U.K. for cancellations. But in reality, the whole country is a shitshow now and will get much worse next week when the kids are out of school. I won’t fly again until September.
  16. Second opinion is always worthwhile. Good luck with it. The struggle is always the slow decline, when you know what’s coming but not necessarily when. It’s stressful and worrisome. My FIL is putting down his 11yo yellow lab today up in Sequim. She’s a sweetheart, and it’s going to be a tough day for him, and us to some degree.
  17. Nice, and a great choice if you’re not really in search of beaches. Let us know where you end up.
  18. You could keep going north up to Chiang Rai, maybe even go across into Myanmar. There’s enough to do up there for 3 or 4 days and you could get a driver from Chiang Mai. Krabi is a good beach trip, although I seem to recall it was a short flight from Bangkok.
  19. How long are you there? I used to live in Scotland so could give some recs. the west coast and some of the Hebrides are fantastic, but November will be a difficult time. The weather is guaranteed to suck and the days will be short.
  20. Pretty much sums up how most of us feel about you, Sack, slorch, fatty, etc….🤣🤣 welcome to the party, pal
  21. And he’s done. Yesterday he was “buoyant” and “ready for a fight.” This morning, he has resigned. Long overdue, Boris is a fucking idiot, constantly lying and his Chancellor (Rishi Sunak, who resigned Tuesday) actually raised taxes in a time where inflation and cost of living increases are crushing people. Good to see him go, the challenge will be who replaces him in the next few weeks. The list of Tory candidates is not strong.
  22. Sorry to hear that and all the best. Had a similar issue with my last bully. Had a cancerous mass around her heart that was slowly growing. Once she hit 10 years, it sped up, growing more and beginning to spread. She stopped eating without assistance and had no energy. She went on some pills and was like her old self for about 2 months, but then it stopped working and that was all she wrote. Still tears my heart out to this day.
