It's interesting that the angles of the show have gone more "they think it's all over" from "University challenge with fun-poking" and the joke-per-question quotient has increased. Still, is always enjoyable. [later caught Stephen on BBC1 on Jonathan Ross which was good - showing Fry's early University Challenge clips...]<BR/><BR/>There are many great things about the US to miss. I've only been there a couple of times, and only to California so I'm not going to make any sweeping statements of how everyone is XYZ... but... I know what you mean. Hummingbirds are wonderful things, and driving. I don't drive [yet - working on it] but such expansies of highway, and the sights. the views from the [dangerous] Highway 1 stick in my mind - but I'm a sea person. I've always been stuck inland but the sea appeals to me. The breathtaking beauty of it all.<BR/><BR/>Other things I miss - and these, sadly, are going to include foodstuffs.<BR/><BR/>Taco Bell<BR/>McDonald's Sausage+egg McMuffins, but with chili in them instead of sage<BR/>Clam Chowder<BR/>The friends I made<BR/>My Ex's grandfather's farm <BR/><BR/>I've never liked the "exchange rates" of items from anywhere to here. In this day and age you'd think they'd realise we can do searches, we have access to exchange-rate tools. We know we're being screwed on these deals. But. No. The companies go "They want them, they have to pay a premium." <BR/>It's never fair.Mas.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07215512947453609364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083160.post-1130554549974978642005-10-28T22:55:00.000-04:002005-10-28T22:55:00.000-04:00aw, I send a bit of north america ur wayaw, I send a bit of north america ur waymichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03235981849108305967noreply@blogger.com
