Advice to Brits re. Ame'cuhn GuestsFollow

1. Don't take them to your local pub for an England World Cup game unless you're prepared to miss most of the play explaining what just happened.
(and to carry home at least 200lbs of shirts, hats, flags and scarves they've blagged off the Barmy Army).

2. Don't let any of the lads challenge her to a drinking competition involving shots.
The sight of grown men crying is never pretty.

3. Even if they usually drive a 5 bajillion Horse-Power muscle-car, take it easy on the Motorway. When you drive above 100mph, as passengers, they make strange noises.
Thankfully, above 115mph their lips move but you can't hear them, although nearby dogs' ears bleed.

4. Don't let her near proper Absinthe. Ever.
Seriously. Ever.

AWWWWWWW!!!!

Love is in the air.......

Go Nobby Go! Only 500 more DSD :P

start excersising it?

AND WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING UP AT THIS TIME OF NIGHT??? IT IS 1:30 YOUNG MAN. GET BACK IN BED WITH THE LADY FRIEND! Unless shes sleeping on the couch. yeaaaaah, riiiiight

best way to wake up IMO

Nobby you will at least get some amusement out of this I think. I was coerced by my sister and her husband to meet the two of them and the inlaws(who are from New Castle visiting for the week) at the pub for the last England game.

The whole explaining football happened multiple times as we all attempted to explain to my sister what was going on. The highlight? She was thrilled because she remembered Beckham was married to Posh spice. That was a long day.

Old Castle is much nicer.

He's lying. He watched me most of the game, along with my *** every time I got up to go "to the loo" or to the bar.



QFT. Tru dat, in knowing I have a photo of said grown man crying. *points to Nobby*



Those strange noises were orgasms fool! Harder and faster next time, kthx.



Absinthe is the most awesome and horrible thing ever created. 'Nuff said.




Now with a few comments of my own:

First off the reasons I was sleeping for once, was 1) I didn't sleep for almost 3 days of my vacation. (read: first two days in airports, planes and cars). 2) I have been out-drinking Nobster every night, and while he sleeps I do other things.

We have had a blast, I have seen castles, gotten to drive his car, (and him ) eat new food, meet cool people, watch the England game, learn the national anthem, and get free stuff! Of course, I have been practicing my British accent. Imagine hick+brit and you have it. I do have a couple of words and phrases down where Nobby says it sounds royal or posh or some **** like that.

The worst part, is the beer, or lager... YUK. However, it would be much cheaper if I would drink that as mixed drinks here are outrageous in price and you get **** for quantity. What they give you as a drink I can down in one shot, which makes for a hefty bar tab for Nobby.

So far we have over 300 still images and 30 minutes of video. Be sure to hit up my blog soon as I will have a full write up with links, photos, and whatever else I can put on it.

Highlights so far:

The sun rising over Scotland while on the plane on incoming flight. I have never seen the sun a color other than yellow. This was red and orange, slightly appeared like lava on the clouds. I do regret not having my camera out and ready for that shot.

The moment I spotted Nobby in the arrivals lounge at the airport. He was the complete opposite of stuffy British blokiness. I got a kiss in public!

Seeing things for the first time like castles, driving on the "opposite" side of the road, getting to drive over 100 and not fret for a ticket or jail.

Oh, a soak in an antique tub with herbal and sea salts for over an hour (yes, alone) in an ancient castle. And the food at the Medieval Banquet.

Riding on a boat in the Thames river, riding in the London Eye, and walking across the Tower Bridge.

Meeting someone famous in a bar and having drinks with him. Of course I flirted heavily.

A few highlights I can't comment on


Free stuff so far:

Gentleman from Lancaster bought me drinks on the plane.

Beaded bracelet from Nobby.

England hat and flags from the Varsity bar.

Lisa from the bar gave me her St. George England flag.

Bartender from Revolution gave me a baby doll t-shirt that says, For the love of vodka.

Bartender from "L'Estaminet" gave me his silver bracelet.

Onleh sothen daft conts dunno ow to spell de Toon naim.

I love Geordies though. Spent a year in Durham, and they are some of the nicest people I've met in this green and pleasant land.

Gateshead kinda sucked, though.

And I'm glad you showed her the nice side of the country. Keep the rest for the next visit [:evil smiley]
