For vacation. I'll have plenty of bland tourist pictures for you when I
get back.

Anywhere I know? Happy to buy you a drink if so...

One of my favorite elevator conversations I overheard in Philadelphia. A
woman and I got on and faced the door in silence. A woman got on a floor
or
two later, and the first woman said "Hi! I heard you were in England!
How
was it?" The second womand said, "It was great, but I couldn't
understand a
word they said. It was like being in a foreign country."

I know all the conversions: Lift, lorry, tellie, etc...

Those sneaky brit *******s have all kinds of obfuscated obscenities and
slang. Look here before you go: http://www.peevish.co.uk/slang/index.htm

Film best!

Don't you mean "Those sophisticated inventors of that most elegant

Hard to take wholly seriously a 'dictionary' that boasts a split infinitive
on its introduction page...

Likewise, ;-)

D'oh! This was posted while I was in the air. I'm back now, but I was
in London. Your ales are quite good.

It was nice being able to sample some of the true UK ales from the cask.
Here we can get stuff in the bottle, but it doesn't come anywhere near
the pints I drank.

I thought I'd feel a bit out of place in pubs outside the touristy
areas, but the opposite was true. Often, I saw just as many American
college students in the local pubs as I did natives waiting for the
football game to start.
