You should open one

The pub is named for wicked old Richard III, the last of the Platagenets. He's supposed to have consulted a soothsayer in Leicester before the battle of Bosworth Field (didn't do him much good, she predicted his death... and was correct!)

What a brilliant name for a pub.

Sundae · 11-16-2006, 12:33 PM

AND it's a Wetherspoons, so the old men turn up for beer and breakfast about 10.00, and are still there at 17.00 when we pile in for cheap shots and steak & ale pie

If you don't mind sticky tables and the couple next to you fighting aover the head of their two year old it's not a bad place to drink.

Oh dear
I saved the new one to YouTube without checking it - it was, in fact the same video.

This is the new one

And yes, it is much cleaner than the filthy, filthy first video

You're a good person, SG. You know how I can tell?

You thanked the bus driver.

Well, if you go to England, don't go to Leicester....it's not safe there, the birds are viscous.

I noticed that too. It was nice. I really like her videos. I need a new digital camera that will take videos too. Then I could bore you all with riding metro trains through dark tunnels.

Am I missing something?

Or is this post modernistic irony?

Probably explains why Mrs sproglet was so keen to move away from Leicester when she graduated from DeMontford.

I don't think you're really missing anything

Unless it's the fact that most of the Dwellars live outside the UK.

I am fascinated by the day to day similarities and differences between people's lives. When Slang goes abroad the first thing I ask for is a picture of a local menu, the price of a beer, a picture of a market.

It's not "Check out this cool video, these cool pictures! OMG you'll be so excited!" because they won't excite anybody. It's here to share small slices of life with people who are interested.

I sit in hope of pictures & clips from US & Aus supermarkets. backyards, gardens, commutes... I am Sundae "interesting" Girl.

It would seem you're absolved of the mendacity of life.

Can I suggest that you go out, find somebody mutually attractive and have some sex with them.

Spark it up a little :-)

Well, that certainly *would* make the videos a whole different ballgame, anyway.

Note: Edited to add that, when I first read sproglet's comment, I thought it was intended as humor. Now that I've read his infantile rant about Jinx' auto accident, I've decided that the shit that was said here on his part was fucking pompous and irritating as well, so I want to add that sproglet should continue to either fuck himself, as LJ has suggested, or continue to consume feces and expire, as I have encouraged him to do.

Sproglet's the one who needs the sex, I think. Obviously a serious case of SRS...

If it's personal attacks you're into, you've picked the wrong person I'm afraid, I don't give a flying fat rat's arse. If you've got a valid argument that might change my opinion on something then you'll earn my respect.

Having said that, I'm married with kids, so you're probably right, I do need some good sex for a change.

As for the infantile poo eating remark, I'll try anything once, you first though...

Meh...you're an ass.

I don't care what your opinions are, and I wouldn't waste my time trying to change them. What bugs me is your judgemental fucking attitude, as though you know what's best and everyone else sucks. Piss on that.

A bit of sex - although a welcome diversion - wouldn't make me lose my interest in other people's lives. But suggestions are always welcome of course.

Anyway.

Yes, I did thank the bus driver, but that's pretty standard here. I noticed when I was waitressing in London that Americans don't say please and thank you as much as we do. But once I realised it was just a cultural thing and nothing to do with manners it didn't bother me - after all the tips were so much better!

If I get bad service in a bar my main protest is not to say Thank You. But it's so ingrained it pops out anyway. Grrrrrrrr.

Thanks for the kind comments - as I'm only providing links I assume I'm not taking up bandwidth (does that make sense?) so I'll keep posting them. I'll include commentary on the next one.

You're doing fine and it's much appreciated, thank you.

btw, the picture of the birds was from the Washington post.
