I'd still be worried about reading traffic signs and driving on the wrong side of the road.... Some of those Euorpean streets are pretty narrow for my SUV...
*grins*
well I'm not sure about the traffic signs..... but it's only in Britain that they drive on the wrong side of the road !
Maybe you'll have to rent something smaller than a full size SUV though.

Bigger is not necessarily better !

Actually it is morning here by now. My diurnal rhythm dosnt quite follow the normal pattern though.
Well I may try keeping myself visible for a while, since if I'm online I usually post and blow my cover anyway!
I think I understand some of that. I have long suffered from insomnia....I'm not sure if access to a computer and/or the internet is a good or a bad thing in those situations....

To be truthful it doesnt make
that much of a difference to me, I just want something to rant about.
Im sure its a good thing, I mean what would you do without it? Probably sleep or something.

Ah...well in that case I will remain visible!
Indeed.....The problem is though that I will sometimes hit the computer when I am unable to sleep rather than actually trying to nod off...and I'm sure that were I to remain in bed I would eventually drift away.....Instead I end up sleep-deprived....

Well, there is always Georgi left to pester...
I see. Personaly I have never had any problems with getting to sleep, It sounds rather tiresome to have to fight for it.

lol!

You had better be careful....once Georgi has her way with you, you may never be the same again!
Well fortunately it no longer happens with the same level of frequency, just every once in a while !
...speaking of which, I need to be up early tomorrow, so I'm heading off for now

Im not afraid of change as long as it is beneficial. It will be, right?
Good to hear you are no longer tormented that much by the gods of sleep. Wich reminds me Im actually rather tired, So Im heading towards the bed now.

One assumes you'll be meeting the SLURR-mrechants in their caravan after the battle, then?
The interior is the same, it still has the hot-tub.

I know the perfect place for you to visit - the Ice Hotel in Lapland in the Swedish north
http://www.icehotel.com
Or, if this is too much, there's also a new ice bar at one of the fashionable hotels in the city of Stockholm. Just like at the Ice Hotell, everything is made of ice, from furniture to the glasses

@CE, my sister spent some uncertain-as-to-her-career-but-wished-to-travel months as an au-pair in Gothenberg (sp). She loved the city but decided childcare was not for her, and apparently the family were quite strict...also, she never got on with the Volvo

@Ysh: In Gothenburg?

(Göteborg in Swedish, the letter ö is pronounced like the "e" in "mercy" or "merchant") Yeah, you end up in the strangest of places when you are young and want to travel

My hubby is from Gothenburg, but nowadays he's a fully assimilated Stockholmer

(The two cites are supposed to be conflicting)
No, actually Gothenburg is a very nice city, with a pretty old town and a paradise for sailing

@CE - I know the 'h' is not pronounced as in English 'th', but had no idea about the 'o'
My only question was why she never visited the football stadium! (she lived quite close) *sigh* she hates football
Funny, what I learned was that it was expensive where London is cheap and vice versa. She complained about the price of tomato ketchup and bread, yet the fuel is cheap!

I say pour petrol on your chips!!

I know I'm off topic but I had my one year anniversary of Game Banshee on Tuesday.
I'm now going to have several c0cktails over this, many rounds for the house on me. I've not a lot of time to hang out so I'll just drink and sit in the corner. Since CE is here, I'll drink whatever the bartender pours her also (because booze isn't on her menu).
