Mind the Gap

[slobake]

Had a GREAT time in London. One of the things I will always remember is the Tube. "Mind the Gap"


The people in London seemed to be very fashionable dressers of course I was staying Kensington and I think that is a haunt for the young, rich and beautiful.
Popped into a random pub the very first night and had the best fish and chips I ever had. I also enjoyed hake, various pies, bangers, and shepherds pie.
I noticed Londoners don't like to make eye contact, and they also seemed annoyed that my wife and I were laughing at each other and having a good time on the tube. Some people were friendly and some seemed to be in a big hurry and didn't want to be bothered. Typical urban residents.
I loved the museums and the architecture. The Westminster Abbey and the amazing high rises in the financial district.
I have a lot more memories but I want to avoid the dreaded TLDR.
Thanks to everyone here for their advice on my trip. The chip card worked great and I someone met us at the airport holding up a sign with my name on it. That was a first for me. Thanks to Titus for that recommendation.

Mind the GAP (especially at Victoria Station)

Oh, hay.

Did Titus take your picture?

[DeathFromBelow]

Bullseye.

 

[slobake]

Did Titus take your picture?

Never saw him, I suspect he wanted to avoid being seen in public with the likes of me.

I would have loved to meet up for a beer my friend, you know that.

But you came at a time that was most inopportune.

Oh? Were you too immersed in that book you picked up, How to Be an ******* & **** All Your Friends?

You had a clandestine source with a hot lead on some powerful, extortion-worthy counterintelligence?:|

No. It was much more important than that.

 

[Tituscrow]

Oh? Were you too immersed in that book you picked up, How to Be an ******* & **** All Your Friends?

Dammit. I forgot I still had that. I'll send it back to you.

 

[Unrepresented]

No. It was much more important than that.

Just in case you didn't pick up on it, I was trying to reference the Darth picture.:|

 

[Darth Handsome]

Very funny, cretin. You know I'd never do this to you. And I hope the people are paying attention. They need to know your true nature.

I got it, Unrep...I got it.

I can't believe people are so keen to know how I bagged it.

Just a few Machiavellan prompts was all it took.

They ain't too bright, them Canadians.

We're smart enough to know soccer sucks, wise guy.

That doesn't mean he never saw you . . .

Oh behave, go play your wimpy version of armoured hand egg or your drawn out version of rounders and give the guy a break!

 

[Darth Handsome]

Yeah watch yourself, Slobake. He may have been in the bushes with a Polaroid.

You have got to be kidding me.....

I went to Lisbon last week, with a short stop in London. I'd never really thought about it before this trip, but whenever walking in a crowded hallway, I tend to favor the right, just like we do when we drive. It took me a few minutes to realize why everyone coming at me was favoring (or should I say favouring?) their left...
