Have you heard, what's the word.....



Two nights at Ball Arena, Denver.

I worked in East London (Hackney) for two years.....gnarly....not all that bad really, great fish & chips and the Bass Center in Wapping.....I do remember having to say I was Canadian to avoid getting my arse kicked in a pub in Plumstead once...
She grew up in Whitechapel, just south of Hackney. I don't recall ever having a problem when visiting there. They seemed to think I was some kind of amusing oddity. London is a snarled up mess when you try to figure out how to get anywhere, but for some reason, I don't get lost easily there. That irritates her a lot.

Cockles and winkles weren't bad, but avoid jellied eels. Jellied eels are just as bad as they sound. My in-laws thought they were food. They were wrong. That was as close to having a problem there as it ever got. It's been about 25 years since we managed to get to London. I'm sure it has changed a lot over that time.

I'll be there in mid-October. I'm sure it will be balmy weather. :rollno:

These days it might be. Seattle has a London-ish climate, and October has been pretty balmy around here lately. The gloom and damp haven't been setting in as early for a while, which makes us all start acting strangely.

No wonder the Pilgrims left England. Someone whipped out some Jellied eels for breakfast and they started singing that Animals song...

How do you like that Perri strap? I like the suede for slippage but find the 2.5-3" width a bit of a pull on the shoulder.

I love the one I'm using in the pic, it matte black leather on the front and black suede on the back side, I'd have to check the width, maybe 2.5"? It is one of the best straps I've owned, quite comfy with all of the Birds except the Lull, which has strap locks I recently picked up a second one, pretty much the same except the suede on the back side is a different color.
