Re: The London Pound?

Its not so much asking for the symbol (as its not on our keyboards) - its more the "London Pound"!

Who knew London had its own currency!

The London Pound?

As you may or may not know I work in IT - I've just answered a support query from a colleague (who claims to have been to the UK) asking where they might find the "London Pound" symbol!

Re: Connecticut anyone?

A Friday vodka run - loving it!

Hubby and I always felt the Red Roof Inn sign had something 50's about it - we imagined that if you went there at cocktail hour there would be people having...

Re: Connecticut anyone?

I use the Red Roof Inn as a marker that I'm closer to home than to work! How funny!!

I'm not all that impressed by Metro North - the rolling stock is ancient - although they are air-conditioned...

Re: Do you subscribe to public radio?

Is PBS part of the same thing also? I only ask because I'm sat here watching old Eastenders on WLIW!

Re: Connecticut anyone?

We're almost neighbours - I'm off exit 24!

I drive up to New Haven many days for work - other days down to Greenwich, or on the good old Metro North to Grand Central!

Re: Do you subscribe to public radio?

I pledged during the last pledge drive - got a free "tote" bag!

Re: Road Courtesy

Its the worst driving I've ever seen - and I put it down to selfishness.

I've been beeped at for having the audacity to actually stop at a stop sign.

Question Is it just me?

We're watching the baseball (St Louis vs NY).

Am I the only one who giggles when they pronounce Pujols as "poo holes"?

It's probably just me (I've got issues)!

My local S&S has an English section under the heading of "Irish Food" which is predominantly English with a few Irish items thrown in (Tatos Crisps - any good?).

Re: It's all happening now...

Very best wishes to you - I got married 3 weeks before I moved over, and also brought my 3 cats with me!

Stressful - but worth it (second wedding anniversary on Sunday in fact)!

Yep - it does. Having consulted the bill more closely - there was a lot of stuff on there.

Re: Dental Fun & Games
