        Well, this is a first. I'm up at 0300 to leave the house at 0445 to take a two hour drive and be ready to go at 0700 to evaluate a culinary certification. My brain is so confused right now. It senses there's coffee, but it feels like night time.

          Sounds like a dream, take your heavyweight clothes off and do a lap of the block, if nobody flinches you're either dreaming or have moved to Amsterdam. Tough wake up time!

              @Seul, I have always struggle to remember street names, Can't even tell you the name of streets 1 block from where I live, they just refuse to stick. I describe places by land markers or use Google Maps ::). No problems knowing my 33 from 62, 72, 86 etc. Added I have network addresses stuck from every network I've ever worked on for the past 15 years (this is extremely unusual). Mind you, I also know Pi to 50+ digits…

                  That is simply how we find things in England.

                    So that's why your addresses read like route descriptions…

                      Speaking of landmarks in England, I was REALLY bent out of shape when I was told there aren't any more blue police boxes

                        No, cellular phone technology has even made it to good old Albion. I know you Yanks mainly believe that much of England kinda looks like the Shire from The Lord Of The Rings, and it kinda does but with more heroin addicts and tower blocks.

                          The Yank I just picked up from the airport phoned me from Immigration to tell me where he was. He had purchased a £5 British Sim Card from eBay before he arrived.  That's class….

                            My preconceived image of England came largely from Benny Hill, men dressed as women and police with funny hats and sticks

                            Largely, I was correct, except I really wanted to see a TARDIS

                              Btw, if you really want to get a Brit upset, talk about how they have to have a guy with Aspergers solve Scotland Yards crimes for them

                              I met a young lady from England awhile back, and she finally lost her shit when she figured out I thought everything on BBC was the news

                              Drinks may have been involved

                                I can't believe that she didn't simply point out that the NYPD are headed by Magnum PI (with the P standing for pensioner), ably assisted by his son from New Kids on The Block  😉

                                  It should be noted that the NYPD also uses an Asbergian Brit to solve its crimes.  A bit sad, when you think about it; Magnum used to be so good at solving crimes on his own.

                                    On another note.  Need more coffee so I can read that the conversation moved on a long time ago.

                                      I have just been informed My five year old nephew has learned about tea bagging, and has become quite keen on telling people his intentions. I think its funny as hell.  we aren't taking the kind of tea bagging you Brits do at lunch time either

                                        What you on about, it's in the curriculum here!! Maybe not at 5 though 🙂 and not to start the cross pond debate but judging by the name and our preference for a cup you would have thought we'd of invented it.

                                          I don't know if someone has bought me some tea from a shop in Winchester, or if my bank account has been defrauded.

                                          I received an email thanking me for my order from a legit business (I called them), who have a legit order in my name to be delivered to my address, but I haven't ordered it.

                                          My bank say that I have no payments pending from any of my accounts so they consider my accounts to be secure, nothing gone or pending from paypal either.

                                          Strange…..
