Pix, would you and teh Payne want to meet up for a coffee/beer?

We probably won't be able to afford to get to London, (that and Payne haethaethaets London.) but I will check with him what he would like to do.

How can you hate London?

Well, walking normally and in no pain today.

The horrible toxins already in residence in my testicles ate that hornet venom for fucking breakfast.

This.

And I hope you'll be able to make it. It would be awesome to meet up.

I've only been to London once, years and years ago, and it was everything I wanted it to be:  Chaotic, loud, crowded, somewhat dangerous, and ALIVE.

Most of those things are still true, but there are zones of almost rigid law and order in certain parts.  Anywhere around Kensington, for example, will be tame as fuck.  Barring the occasional dead escort and white collar crime, of course.

Been in the start of my junior year at university (transferred). Seems like things are pretty level right now so I think I'll be visiting (AND POSTING, mind you) more frequently now. That is all.

Well, nothing's perfect.

But when I think about The City, I think about London.  That's also, I think, because I love the British people, warts and all.

The warts are all.

What I like about London is that people will be very polite and call you Guv'nor while robbing you blind.

What I like is that they'll tell jokes while they put the boot in on you.

I ran into something similar.  Think about it in terms of equality: You told your lover that someone else was attractive to you.

Let's say your new co-worker was a woman.  Would your GF want to hear you say, "If I wasn't dating you, I'd totally hit that"?

I make money explaining that people don't necessarily fuck everybody they look at or find attractive.  :lol:

ETA: NOT putting your GF in that category with people who call me. Just saying it's a common expectation that PEOPLE ARE NEVER GOING TO LOOK AT ANYONE ELSE.  :roll:

Looking is one thing.  Talking about doing something about it is another.

True. Even with the "if I wasn't dating you" qualifier. It's usually best to just keep this stuff to yourself.  :lol:
