Other than those mincers, I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary on the running trails by my house. Most of the time, if I'm distracted, it is usually for more inappropriate reasons . . .

Ditto...apart from the fact that the longer I'm here the more things I hate.

nethead

Ummmm still trying to think of something..........

SultanOfSwing

Um, I used to love the price of tickets to blighty because we could afford them, but now I hate it because we can't.

Does that count?

nethead

For you anyway. I've not been home since we moved here

SultanOfSwing

Sorry, I forgot. We've only been back once - and I think the price was a fluke

Here's one, just to continue being a contrarian. If anything I hate the bacon even more now than I did in 2005

nethead

I don't love it more nor hate it more, I feel indifferent towards it, I'll eat it but I don't crave it. Ignore me I'm having a bad day, and I really could hate everything if I could be bothered.

If any of you bacon lovers live in Upstate New York there is an Irish shop in Saratoga that imports proper pork products and always has a well stocked freezer.

SultanOfSwing

I get plenty of days like that myself - no worries there. Truth be told, I eat it too, but only because I don't want to be a pain in the arse at breakfast. If offered, I'll take some sausages instead but it's not always on the cards

I find driving on highways here boring as hell, we've driven from PA to WI, and PA to SC and PA to MA several times, and it's mundane at best it takes bloody forever to get out of PA. The roads are awful even the toll roads are full of pot holes, then you drive through some god forsaken places that make third world countries look rich.

nethead

Oh and another thing I forgot, if your on a highway don't miss your exit 'cause you'll probably have to drive another 20 miles before the next one....



Phew I feel a little bit better now.

Apfelkuchen

Yeah, I certainly wouldn't say it is exciting! But I am a bit of a nervous driver, which is probably why I enjoy the monotony. I've done a couple of big road trips now: one from Pittsburgh out to Seattle, down the west coast and back through the south; the other from New York to Seattle via Dallas. I'm happy driving along for hours at a time, or at least until one of my butt cheeks goes numb .

Me too, I suppose there are foods I had never tried till I moved here and I like, like Chicken fried steak and gravy. and Pumpkin pie and I can't think of anything else, I still cook like I'm in UK. Only cause I don't know how to do it any other way.

My Mrs says that you can spot a Brit a mile away. I made a bet with her when we were last at Chicago O Hare that she was wrong. I have loaded the dish washer ever since. So..... loved the good looking, straight toothed, over dressed Americans at first, now.... miss the, and I have to be very careful here...... dressed at Marks & Sparks, National Health toothed, witty beyond measure, fab Brit types that we are.

Hated half and half now LOVE it

Hated the coffee now love it.

wasnt sure about all the millions of trees im surrounded by - now i love them

couldnt bear the have a nice day stuff but now love it and miss it back in the UK

Hated the cool rainy climate where i live- and still dont like it (might as well be back in UK)

Loved the friendliness of the people when i first arrived (small town) and now love it even more- love the fact that everyone says hello even when im just walking down the street - most odd at first i must say
