Will she have nylons and gum?

[Gingerbeer]

Nylons, no. Gum, no. Hat, perhaps.

[Annette Curtain]

It's *Summer here now GB, so hat is needed.

Netts

*today at least

[Gingerbeer]

Quids is being a bit harsh. It's been a bit of a weird one this year, Winter finished this monday, spring is normally pretty fabulous followed by a slightly grey but warm summer with the odd heat wave whereupon EVERYONE goes to London's amazing parks in a bid to see who can get the most disturbing sunburn and get botchelism from raw/burnt sausages on barbecues.

Seriously though London's climate is pretty good, it's in the high eighties (for you non-metric types) with beautiful blue skies and salmon skin today.

No it isn?t. It?s just better than the rest of Britain.

Like many U.K qualifications 'Summer' has been "dumbed down"

So anywhere between May- August technically counts, though the quality has become difficult to define

I hope this helps

Mmmm Salmon skin...

Summer actually doesnt sound too bad. Iowa summers are consistently hot (85-100) with at least one week hovering around the 105+ mark. With stifiling humidity. Combined with the American tendency toward corpulence, it becomes several months of frizzy, sweaty, hot mess.

Anyway GB, I thought you were due over here by now?

[Gingerbeer]

No, school doesnt start until late September. The student Visa restricts your ability to work, so I cant come over too early as I would have no way to make any money. Frustrating, but whats a girl to do?

[Alan Medic]

Find a man to take her in is an option I suppose. To be PC I should add 'woman' as well. Well, get advertising. There's a section on the forum for just that sort of thing, I think.

[Gingerbeer]

hah! What are you suggesting Alan, a sham marriage for me?

[Annette Curtain]

Well GB you could be in luck

TheRealMorris is available. Let him know where you live and after a 'lite' stalking, he could be your man

He's quite the romantic (all be at a distantance) you know

Netts:-S

Ginger beer, 21st July, undercover, in and out. *taps nose*

[Gingerbeer]

So apart from the infamous Barry Barry Road Race, what other festivals/happenings go on in ED during the summer?

[Alan Medic]

I reckon GB that will be the least of your worries when you get here. The place is likely to have been taken over by crows and/or cats. Are you coming armed?

[Gingerbeer]

With corn and tuna flakes!

[Huguenot]

I don't think you should try and beat anything to death with cornflakes. Anything at all. Just put it out of your head.

Tuna's pretty good in cans and with mayonnaise. The fresh stuff, real fish, is exceedingly disappointing. Chewy and monotonous, and you can't get it in a sock. However, the tin can generate a pretty effective injury both up close and at a distance. Only add mayonnaise if you want to avoid a 'blood' wound.

Summer's great in the UK. It's the same as winter - about 15 to 17 centigrade (much better than German fahrenheit setting zero against some pathetic concoction of ammonium chloride) and it's grey.

They joy is in the people. Brits are really fun, especially in summer. Always a smile and a pat on the bum.

[Gingerbeer]

Huguenot, you're the best kind of smartass arent you? :))

[Gingerbeer]

Sorry Ginge - can't hear you over the howling wind and the lashing rain...

[Gingerbeer]

Sounds like a good day for shnuggling!
