Fare thee well peeps.....

Thanks anyways all the same, but I finished it.

The venue was supposed to be "just locals," but next time I have to do an on-line or more broad-based spectra...

Later, I'm gonna possibly put a similar kind of survey onto my page as a journal entry.

Please Ash don't get modded , who will keep me entertained
Flakey have a great trip and they will your accent in the gay barsDon't get too homesick for your hubby or the ferrets
Thorny Geese are kind really don't be afraid

Not to me they aren't. I've seen them attack people who are feeding them, simply for things like running out of food to give... or is that swans?

: What-Me? No... I'm not afraid. No, not afraid at all.

"..."

Oh, & I almost forgot: Happy Halloween

and a happy halloween to you Thorny

I like it when girls "play sock" me in the shoulder, for "being a lunk-" I s'ppose.

I was a -ing gent. @ the university today. You know how much easier it is to flip a felt top-hat than a silk one?! . Must be better air-resistance.

Halloween downtown is fun. As I was walking by a theater, some guy dressed up as a feudal baron tips his phaesant-plumed cap & says "Dude, nice costume."

"I spun my hat on one-finger and said "thank you. You too."

hi all last post for a few days from me.... i'm sitting here with a blue face pack on and intensive conditioner on my hair....and you thought halloween was over

strangely subdued halloween in my area... we went to the rhondda big pit heritage park... had a lttle meal arrangement and then... THE SPOOKY PIT TOUR...all for under 6 quid. marvelous value and good entertainment...loved the camp vampire host...vincent the vampire.

i think geese will scare you if you let them...stand your ground thorny and hope you don't get pecked too much cover yer valuables just in case...

well all i'll be off now as face pack is tightening a tad too much... i'll be back to report mon or tues depend on how i feel... bye for now.. flakey off to the big apple sorry its the only apple i could find

(continues to argue): "But, I'm not scared of geese. Really."

I just think that they tend to be mean & aggressive. maybe that's just geese over here though, who knows?

Geese with attitude
Hey Flakey have a ball knock em dead with your super shiny hair and radiant skin pampering is good for the soul
Have a safe journey and take care of yourself and above all tell us all about it on your return!

hello all...i'm back...exhausted but so much wiser....

flights went ok.. much longer flying there... they go up towards scotland then over towards greenland across to canada and then down to new york..seemed to take forever...

coming back yesterday was a more direct route and took under 6 hours so not so bad really....

what can i tell you about manhatten.... very busy, very noisy the drivers constantly beep each other... they argue with their car horns... over here people would be getting out and fighting.. but they don't do that strangely enough.. although i was told that everyones scared of the police there..so maybe thats why...

oh and the cars just pull all over the place or stop wherever they choose, even in the middle of an intersection....crazy...the subway system is excellent never wait more than a few minutes for a train... if you can work it out.. but once you do its not so bad...

the people themselves............mmnnnnn very disappointed.. these people are self contained little units.. hard as nails and very driven but somewhere along the line they have lost something.. and i think its the basics in politeness and concern for others...i'm not saying they won't give to charities... because thats easy and doesn't involve being personally involved...

they don't seem to know the words please and thankyou very well.. you go into a shop and they bark whatta you want?? took me some time to get used to it... in my job we MUST be polite to customers, smile say hello and goodbye and say plaese and thankyou.. its part of our training anf they will pick us up on it.. in fact customers will complain if we don't...[me? never had a single complaint]

they don't smile.. often don't get eye contact...seem a very unhappy bunch in fact. they must think me a very strange quaint thing....but i thought they were a bunch of rude bastards....really knocked my notion of all americans being warm and friendly... theyre not like that at all in florida...nor in california [so my brother tells me thorny]

and i know some say its just big city people... but i found londoners really nice and helpful... so new yorkers need to shape up in that regard.... but a tough resiliant breed of people to be sure.. but i couldn't survive much of it...too soft and idealistic is my trouble..

the buildings are out of this world..NOTHING like them here in cardiff and not many in london either... the security is shit hot [not surprising] i think they have some kind of alert on the statue of liberty.. going into there they have a test for chemical and biological weapons you stand in a booth one at a time and it puffs air all over you..... i almost expected jeremy beadle to jump up...

i mostly preferred greenwich village.. more relaxed way of life, quainter more traditional shops..people were a bit nicer here too.. but still not warm people... by the way i went ready for arctic conditions and they were having a freak warm spell the entire time...lovely sun shining but i wasn't prepared for it clothes wise...needless to say we had to ditch our coats and i was only in a shirt or blouse and still too warm... newyorkers had pulled their shorts and flipflops out of storage......well i'd better finish now thankis for staying with me if you've read all this.. and don't think i'm too much down on new yorkers.. there were one or two that surprised us like the waiter that gave us 2 drinks each on the house...and i don't let myself think all americans are so unfriendly because i know thats simply not true.....but here i am wiser anyway byee all...

Me myself, I was born in New York, (so my parents tell me...). I wouldn't remember though because I think we (my family & I) moved when I was around 2 months old... or was it 2 weeks. , I don't remember...

no way you can be a new yorker thorny.. you're much too nice...
only kidding.. well not about you being nice.. but i'm sure theres plenty of lovely newyorkers..its just that i didn't seem to see many maybe if we had got out of manhatten we'd have met nice people.... should have checked out the suburbs.

i think its a shame that people are getting this unfriendly impression as it comes as quite a shock... most other americans i've met have been really friendly and warm and keen to chat to us.... but not in manhatten.. but as my daughter said.. they have a constant stream of tourists from all over the world.. we're nothing new to them.. we're just the sheep passing thru to be fleeced for our tourist dollars, basically.

but it hasn't made me dislike americans..just manhatteners and not strictly all of them either.. but most.

Oh, city folks, , while now that you mention it, I know plenty of rude rural and mean suburb folks, ...Eh-heh.

yep.. all kinds of people can be pigs i think the shop assistants shocked me most..although we had a very helpful young lady in macys...the underground subway people were most unhelpful.. even giving us wrong advice, maybe on purpose, but we wised up to the system after the 1st day
