Speaking of the roads, today was my best record yet.  It took me 2.5 hours to cover 10 miles to drive home from my dentist appointment in Brooklyn.  It wasn't even because of any accidents or road closures, it was just piss poor traffic management.  NYC has a lot of good things, but at the same time it's also an utter ungoverned shithole with no redeeming qualities.

Spent the day at Southwark Cathedral where a panel of female authors gave talks on Tudor women. Got to finally see and speak to Alison Weir whose biography of Elizabeth was one of my first sparks of interest in history. :)

:cool:

Yes it's invariable cool when one gets to speak with a favourite author.

Continuing the history tour, I saw Dan Jones at a talk for his new book tonight in Kensington. £5 bought entrance to talk and a glass of wine. :cool:

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

That's one of those things I miss from not living in London any more or any other city for that matter.

Literary episode at my karaoke hang.

I head out for a smoke after a song, i come back, and one of the soccer moms in a group of 10 next to me leaves me a note on her credit card receipt.

I hope you corrected her atrocious grammar. :unsure:

I talked to her briefly. She seems nice. Go for it.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Depends.  Do you want a good bang?

Considering this forum is visible to the public and  we have hundreds of anonymous visitors all the time, I'm not sure posting someone's phone number here is a good idea.

BB, now all you need to do is edit out the number in your quoting to follow Syt/Yi's lead.
