I miss my frost-free fridge
I've just spent the last 2 hours defrosting my fridge. There's water everywhere in the kitchen and I'm aggravated. Today hasn't been the best of days.
The difference between Americans and Brits
Brits: We get bombed in the transit system, ok. We'll take our bikes. We need to plod on cause we can't let them win.
Americans: In the wake of today's 4 dud bombings in London, the U.S. House has voted to extend the Patriot Act by a vote of 257-171. This includes 10-year extensions to the two other provisions set to expire on December 31, one allowing roving wiretaps, and another allowing searches of library and medical records.” From CNN
You gotta love the british
Quotes from all over regarding London going boom:
———
When the news reporter said “Shopkeepers are opening their doors bringing out blankets and cups of tea” I just smiled. It's like yes. That's Britain for you. Tea solves everything.
You're a bit cold?
Tea.
Your boyfriend has just left you?
Tea.
You've just been told you've got cancer?
Tea.
Coordinated terrorist attack on the transport network bringing the city to a grinding halt?
TEA DAMMIT!
And if it's really serious, they may bring out the coffee. The Americans have their alert raised to red, we break out the coffee. That's for situations more serious than this of course. Like another England penalty shoot-out [in soccer].
———-
“It's hard to panic the British. They've dealt with the Blitz, the IRA, the Silurians, the Zarbi, the Daleks, the Cybermen…”
———-
To quote an old Londoner who lived through the blitz and got caught up in the Canary Wharf explosion: “I've been blown up by a better class of bastard than this!”
———-
“They did their worst, and they managed to disrupt our transport network and get fatalities in the low double figures. That happens on a fairly regular basis anyway, you twits. What's your next trick – a fiendish weather control device which makes it rain on a bank holiday weekend?”
———-
“Al Qaeda say: 'Britain is now burning with fear, terror and panic in its northern, southern, eastern, and western quarters.' Bitch, please. Osama, you live in a fucking cave. You're like an evil Batman or something. No wonder you have a thing for blowing up commuters, because you will never commute because you live in a cave. You see transport, and you are filled with rage, because you? Live in a cave. You could try forming a political wing to… oh, wait, you can't because YOU LIVE IN A CAVE. Twat.
The BBC paused news coverage to show *Eastenders*. That'd be the nationwide fear, terror and panic, then.”
You got to pimp my riiiiiiiiiiiiiide!
Last night, Katy and I watched something that should not be allowed to go on. Hell, it shouldn't even have happened. I'm talking, of course, of the launch of Pimp my Ride – UK.
Now Pimp my Ride, or PMR for short, is something that is mildly amusing if you like to watch overenthusiastic people yell “What up DOG!” and “that's going to be TIGHT, yo” while transforming ghetto cars into flashy gettho cars for other overenthusiastic people who yell “OH MY GOD!” all the time.
You'd expect the British to have a bit more decorum and style.
Apparently not.
What's even sadder though is that, well, you expect Xzibit to act like a black rapper. He is one, so that's ok. No self-respecting white man should act like a black rapper. I'm sorry, I'm a white man, I can say this, we can't pull it off and WE LOOK DUMB TRYING TO DO IT!
Case and point.
It was hilarious to watch though. Instead of Ish and Mad Mike and Big Dane and 2Shae pimping out a Cadillac Escalante on the West Coast, you had a bunch of mechanichs somewhere in Birmingham working on a Morris.
They still managed to cram a stupid amount of wattage for a sound-powered car, so that's ok I guess.

What is it with the British and monopoly?
From the website: You have 24 hours to make as much money as you can. Pick a cabbie, buy properties, place apartments, but invest wisely; once you click GO it is in the hands of the cabbies for 24 hours how much money you make. We have 18 taxis fitted with GPS, and they are the playing pieces in the biggest game of Monopoly ever played. Pit your cabbie against 5 others to make your fortune on the streets of London.

It's hot and it's wet, which is good in a woman but bad in a city.
From the words of the Immortal Roosevelt E. Roosevelt, it's damn hot! You have to love british weather. Two days ago, Katy was so cold that I had to turn the heating on. Tonight, my allergies are making me miserable because it's so damn hot and muggy. Joy. It's been a while since I didn't have the energy to move because I've been sneezing a dozen times in a row.
Spent the day in Leicester looking at possible vroom-vrooms for Katy. If she gets the job at Huntington, she'll need a car to commute. There are a few nice Nissan Micras out there that looked mighty tempting but Katy decided to wait until she had a clear confirmation about the job before singing her name to the dotted line. The job situation is rearing its ugly head again. Had a rather rough night because of some of its side-effects; mostly stressful ones. Her current job is making our life difficult in ways that have no easy fix. I know she's given her notice, and she only has 3 weeks left to go at that damned place. I just hope it doesn't break anything that can't be mended.
Going to be a slow day tomorrow hopefully. I need a good night's sleep that doesn't involve bad dreams. Still in Leicester tomorrow cause it's father's day. Going to have lamb for dinner. Had curry tonight. Hmmmm, curry.
