October 23, 201411 yr comment_657534 It doesn't (until today) happen here. That's why the guy was able to walk into the Parliament buildings with a long gun. I doubt if that could easily happen in the US capitol building. The soldier who died wasn't even armed. Dammit. Report

October 25, 201411 yr comment_657902 Arrived at LHR. Met at airport by rental "rep-mobile". Pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be, rather than a ford or Vauxhall but instead, a VW Passat TDI 2.0 blue motion with sat nav and leather, for the same price. Result! Somewhat tempered by the fact, that filling the tank from 1/4 full, at the link local Tesco's was just over 73 quid. Call it 100 quid for a full tank (estimated 700 mile range) Got back to Joanne's Mother's, to find her brother washing his new toy I got to ride shotgun, with the top down, on a quick blast, "to dry the brakes" Need to rest now. Didn't get much sleep on the flight. Report

Pretty impressive, and I already knew I was pretty much a Lagunitas slut anyhow. Cool wall mural made from bottlecaps Also stopped at Urban Legend in Westmont on our way back. Pretty good stuff, and a cool little place!. Sorry for the crappy iphone pics. Edited October 25, 201411 yr by Pars Report
