Have you slipped back into "american" or were you actually wearing these?

Shouldn't this be on the Manchester pride thread?

At London bridge station awaiting a Greenwich train for ticket barrier training. Ironically Greenwich has no barriers.

That's impressive, and to think some people can't even walk down the road to their club!

I've just bought 4 cans of original IRN BRU to give my team later.

This will be interesting. Saying that, they loved pickled onion monster munch!

Off to Greenwich for barrier training part 2. Managed to get an ultimate "fast" train. Well fast for here, only 3 stops between home & London Bridge. 08.07 from St Leonard's Warrior Square.

Usually can be up to 14 stops on the next one.

My goddaughter turns 18 on Friday. She was born in 2000...

Attended the annual Devizes Confetti Battle this evening. It was fun!

Reserve Bank of Australia has been down all day.

I can't wait to stop doing this nonsense.

Free ticket. I'm semi- Staff now. That train billed as the express, I caught the express back too. London Bridge, High Brooms, Tunbridge Wells, Battle, & SLWSq.

The Romanian for, " It was nice to meet you", is mi-a facut placere sa te cunosc.

I was on the ticket barrier course with a Romanian guy.

I've just put the bins out.  Our usual bin day is Thursday but it's always shifted by a day for bank holiday weeks.  One of our neighbours was out when I put the bin out and he said "how do you always remember that it's a day later?"  He was genuinely confused as to how I knew not to put my bin out on Thursday.  Ah well.

Advert that keeps getting repeated on LBC radio:

"You WANT a Maserati but NEED a SUV, why not have both?"

No...

I wish that woman from trivago would either get another acting job or get lost one one of her holidays

All packed and ready to fly off tomorrow for a week of relaxed living, good eating and great surfing!

Decided to another airport this time. The transfer, to here, will be much shorter.

I've just done an hour of my Rosetta Stone Italian course, I seem to get better marks when I do the stereotypical Italian hand gestures when talking in Italian...  A bad habit to get into...

I was in Rome in 2001. Once I started speaking in a comedy Italian accent, they treated me as fluent.
