I used to live right across the street from Universal Studios, when i was in 1st grade, and when life was actually good:



Although we never even went there while we were living there!  :o It was only a 5 minute walk!

You folks are always welcome.  Just give us a heads up so we can have the grill going with my wife's famous ribs cooking (we'll do some veggies for you George) and we'll be sure to leave the front porch light on for you should you hit us at a late hour due to time changes during your travel.  :)

Of course, some of us will enjoy both the ribs and the veggies, Bill:D

Yes some ribs would be welcome, I am sure!
They say women have one minus compared with man.
Can that be true? :)

There's only one way to know it. Count, Harry, count! :)

Yes, that will be the fun part, it always is, in my experience! ;D

How many days a year does it rain in London?

It's just stopped, as it happens.

It will not rain ever again in London which means Thatcher's privatised water companies can spread doom and gloom about a drought because they can't be bothered to get off their collective asses and do something about it, like fix the major leaks in the Capital, except impose, another, hosepipe ban and pay the shareholders megabucks.

If you are thinking of coming then bring your own water.

Mind you the weather forecasting here is crap. The Meteorology Office would lose out to a medium on predictions.

On second thoughts bring your umbrella.

This is getting scary. The (I think) new MSN Live Map can now zoom in so much so that I can see my windows from the satellite.

You can even rotate the satellite picture and look from different angles  ::)

You'll find that your veggies become nothing but parsley/garnish/pretty plate coloring after one bite of these "beauties" Karl.....after one rib, the closest thing you will eat in regard to a vegetable is the extra sauce you slather on them. :)

Kullervo, I think there is a cat sharing your apartment! Lovely seat for it on the windowsill!  ;D

Two, actually. They have a bad tendency to tear the screen out... mumble...

Lets see the cats!  ;D
