a big welcome from owlatron over here in england hope to speak to u soon

the owl

Hello back from the States. Wish I was over in England.

Wench 1486

with the crap weather we've been having over here i'd rather be in the states . by the way why would you like to be back in england ??????????

the owl

The weather's been so hot over here! It's horrid! I went to England from 2 September to 15 December 2001 and loved it. I had such a wonderful time. Wish I would have traveled some more, but didn't have the time or the money. There are things that are just easier/better over there (not that I don't love my country...it's just 'old'.)

Wench 1486

but england is a lot older as your for fathers came from england thats probably why you like it over here . where abouts did you travel when you came to england ? i have probaly lived or worked in most of england !

the owl

When I say 'old' I mean in the sense that I feel like I've seen everything (I know I haven't...there's too much). It's lost it spark.

I was mainly in London, living near Kensington Gardens, studying up at City University at working at the Shaftesbury Theatre in the West End. I traveled to York, Edinburgh, Dudley, Brighton, Oxoford, Bath, Salisbury, Ely, Canterbury, Fareham, Portsmouth, Winchester, Knaresborough, Leeds, Preston...probably some other places that I can't be bothered to remember...too late in the evening for that.

i din't mean to sound rude so i apologise !

where in england did you like the best and why ?

it may be late in america but it's the early hours of the morning its 4.50am over here and coming to an end of another night shift in about 2 hours time

the owl

You didn't sound rude at all. It takes a lot to offend me (I work in theatre) and am usually frustrated with conveying 'feelings' over a computer (I have a weird sense of humor and am usually misunderstood). Sorry, I digressed....

Where was I?

My favorite part? That's really hard. I liked lots of parts of London. Bath was divine. Salisbury was a perfect day when I went to visit. I loved being up North. Do I have to decide? Can I just say I liked it all?

I have to be at work in nine hours and will be lucky if I go to bed in the next hour. The bad part of being a night person.

Wench 1486

i'll say goodnight and hopefully catch up with u when i'm back mat work in 14 hours time .

the owl

sounds like a plan. I'm going to carefully pull myself away from the computer and curl up with a book...

Wench 1486

excellent plan night again.

the owl

how r u i havent heard from u in a while

andy

I'm alive and well-ish. I've decided that I want to be Canadian now. I've been having a life (which is a very weird feeling) and haven't been around on the computer much. That'll probably change when I get back to school and need to find something better to do than study.

How are you doing?

Jess

i'm fine nice to hear from you i thought you'd abandoned me


andy

I'm bad at abandoning people. They usually have to tell me to bugger off before I get the point. I am awful at keeping in touch with people. My uncle is convinced that I always have broken fingers.

Jessica

well at least you've dropped me a line


andy

It would be quite rude of me to not do such. Of course, classes start Monday, which means I don't get to have a life for a very long time. Too much theatre, but that's the way I like it. How are things on your side of the pond?

Jessica

things are quiet on this side of the pond i'm at work as usual!!



andy

AT least you have work. This whole class thing is really throughing me off.

yeah i have work and h2g2 at the same time so i actually get paid fir being here unofficially of course.

hows the classes going?

andy
