Bye bye to London
We're leaving on Saturday afternoon after 10 months in London! I for one am looking forward to going home. And we are stopping in LA for three days on the way :)
People Seen Stuk In Clsing Tube Doors To Date - 15...no we have lost count now...
How Mny Of Them Needed Door Wedged Open - 9 .. we've also lost count here and my foot got stuck once, but that was on purpose and I was a little worse for wear
No. Of Couples Split Up Wen 1 Made It Onto Train But Other Was Left Behind The CLosed Door Cause He/She Was Distracted Reading This Random Tally - 4 - and yes me and Mare are one of these
Funny Named Stations on the Tube - what? We spend a lot of time on the train
Cutty Sark - note that none of these are spelling mistakes
Mudchute
Tooting Bec
Clapham - sounds like something to see the doctor about
Burnt Oak
Kentish Town - not quite Kent, but Kentish
Chalk Farm
and best of all - Cockfosters
Interesting Things From London
Instead of Saying 'Internet Router' - they pronounce it 'rooter' (Insert childish giggle here)
The TV show 'Little Britain' : "Ye but, no but, ye but"
The Book '1984' by George Orwell - strangley familiar
Rhyming Slang: Boat = Face - because Boat Race rhymes with Face. Almonds = socks - because Almond Rocks rhyme with Socks.
Petrol here is 93p = $2.6 Ozy per litre
The saying - 'Teeth like a victorian cemetary'; 'My left foot has more brains than___'
Mare and Madonna live in the same city!!
More Rhyming Slang: Jam = Car - Jam Jar rhymes with car. Barnett = Hair - because High Barnett Fair rhymes with Hair. Iron = poof, because iron hoof rhyms with poof
