Guess where I am!

Yes, I finally made it to yer country, and the press was right! It does get dark earlier over here!

I'm working in a pizzeria near Hyannis, and typing this out on an old 486 that's so slow an oap would be complaining about the good old days.

Just a friendly hello to all - did I miss a revolt or anything equally exciting? No time left to browse - must cycle the effing four miles to work.
Later.

Remember December '59
The howling wind and the driving rain,
Remember the gallant men who drowned
On the lifeboat, Mona was her name.

Why'd you move to the US anyway GA? Was the tourism in Galway getting bad thanks to Angel?

NO, I haven't moved to the YooEss permanently *shudders*.
I'm here on what is known as a J1 Work/Travel Visa. Just thought I'd come over and see what all the fuss was about. I'm returning home just before Labour Day - college is restarting ridiculously early for me this year viz. 2 days after I get back!

Man, you guys eat enough junk food! Supermarket aisles devoted to TV-pigouts. God knows, before I started in the pizzeria I didn't know what a Syrian Pocket consisted of, never mind how to make one.

I'm getting into the swing of roaring i.e. speaking American - in all honesty, ye speak WAY louder than we do. ALso having to slow down my speech patterns - my bogger accent is a bit of a hindrance when you're trying to ask a redneck over the phone would he like hot peppers in his Italian sub.

Oh, and Gurgeh is here too.

Later all, and no Liam, vampires avoid me the same way hyenas avoid lions.

I went to get my drivers renewed. To my surprise, the guy behind the counter had a very British accent. Turns out his Dad was stationed in England for most of the boy's youth. Cool.

Welcome to the colonies GA. Stay away from the junk food. It will kill you.
