But if you stop begging in order to be different then how will you fund your new differences? You’ll have to get a job!! :eek:

No no no, those kinds of differences pay for themselves. Sit back, let everyone go to all the trouble, and reap your harvest of difference.
It’s a foolproof plan, and believe me, I know…

‘I don’t know…’ *gets out postcards* ‘let’s take a look.’ :D
That’s pretty much what it’s like:)
I’m not a huge sightseer to be honest… I try and do all the tourist stuff in one day.. and get on with the real fun and experiencing the real culture. I just get the arse walking round all day looking at something, going “well that’s nice” then finding the next thing. Art exibitions and stuff like that i enjoy.. but when i got invited to see the Grand Canyon.. i declined and said “it’s a big hole in the ground, i’ve seen it in films” and stayed by the pool drinking instead. I’m sure one day i will go and see it… it was probably the 6am wake up call to catch the trip that put me off:)

Well in that case, can I have my £1 back?
@ Divers - That’s called being ‘bone idle’ :p
Right - I’m off. I have looked at every job in the whole county and there is nothing for me :(

I do know what you mean. I like seeing new things, but going to see sights because ‘that’s what you’re supposed to see when you go to x, y, or z’? Nah.

Yes i’m not denying it:).. I love seeing new things and as you know have travelled alot.. it’s just I normally go on holiday as I’m worn out by working so hard.. the last thing I want is getting up earlier than i normally would and being so busy that I come back more knackered than when i left.. I prefer a nice mixture of relaxing and taking in the place:) The expections are holidays where i know i will never be able to do again and then i do try and fit it all in. That’s why i like vegas.. nothing of historical interest to see and everything is open 24hours.. bliss;)
@d? I’m glad you understand:) it took me 7 years of living in london before i first saw buckingham palace and that was only because someone else wanted to see it.

goodmorning all
I’m in a great mood. Just had fantastic news about the house. As you may remember, a few weeks ago, I was extremely pissed off that our lovely neighbours decided they wanted to have the same roof as we have.
Thay have changed their minds again :D, so they’re keeping it, they way it was supoossed to be.
now the funny part: it was the lady of the couple that wanted to change the roof, because, please pay attention here, she couldn’t put anything on top of 2 of her cabinets. Not that they didn’t fit in the house, no no, they sure do, but she can’t put anything on top now.
Can you believe this :rolleyes:
“oh honey, I just noticed that I can’t put my doggy figurens (sp?) on the cabinet. can’t we just make the house a bit bigger. It will be about a hundred times more expensive to change the building plans than to buy a new cabinet, but we only bought the cabinet last year, so I don’t want to change it.”
How stupid can one person be

Actually Tinne, you’re right. Hull absolutely stinks. Worse than anything else I can think of. I would rather spend a day in a fish market than in Hull City Centre!

Well make sure you take a helmet with a visor, elbow and knee-pads. Also a first aid kit suitable for use in road traffic accidents. DO NOT TRUST THE GREEN MAN.
I would highly recommend a restaurant called ‘Frenzi’ if you get there early in the evening. The swordfish was the best I’ve ever had. Absolutely gorgeous, great atmosphere :)

My friend and I were wandering up the canal when we almost literally bumped into Seb outside his work. We’d taken a wrong turning and there he was - the infamous man himself!
I was at an advantage, obviously, because I recognised him whereas he didn’t have a clue who I was, or how I knew his name, or why I was staring at him with my mouth hanging open :D

We weren’t hanging around anywhere - we were tonning it back from the Rijksmuseum because the rest of the group were pining away and waiting for us. It turned out that we had missed our turning - but how bizarre is that!?
Seb is about 3 times taller than I imagined him to be! :D
