plus some of his friends inadvertently joined our group but it was all fun nonetheless
Hee! That must've been a little confusing.. =:D
I also bought a large map with gold leaf, which you scratch off when you visit a country
The problem I have with such maps (a great idea, nonetheless!) is you don't see all of a country by seeing a part of it - sort of okay with the UK, but when it comes to an expanse like Russia or the US, it feels a bit.. sort of cheating to mark it all as "visited". I wonder what a better option might be.. for simplicity, maybe just a geographic area cap per country, above which, you use that country's top level of division (province, state, etc).
'Course, now I'm pondering how many dimensions of data visualisation you could encapsulate digestibly, to represent the actual time spent there, how long ago, how frequently.. ^_^; Could have a globe, with prongs protruding from each country/province, with height denoting amount of time, thickness for frequency, brightness for how long ago.. ooh, that'd still leave hue free to represent something, let alone shape.. hm. Wonder if I could rope njrabit into coding up something like that as a WebGL thingummy.. ^_^
around Pudsey briefly (which really was just the bus station and Gregg's)
You're not looking to work for the Pudsey Tourist Bureau, I take it. =:)
both vanilla and kinky
Ooo.. this could be interesting. ^_^
traditional post club McDonald's
Eep!
Surely there's a great place for a kebab, or a curry? (Though, much as I love a good kebab, at least when I'm not busily shedding pounds/kilos, I've never quite understood the way they're always stuffed so impractically, making them next to impossible to eat without shedding meat everywhere, like The Fly with a bad case of meaty dandruff)
I'll admit, I'm not really a TGIF sort, but there's a lot to be said for a friendly bartender. As the roomie and I discovered last Saturday, taking Mum out for dinner.. suffice to say, the bar tab was over double the food bill. ^_^; A good time was indeed had by all, even if he and I did wind up having to get a taxi back home, having missed the last train, barely. (Would've made it, had we not got on the wrong line at the next station up - it's one of those stations where the different lines run on the same tracks, splitting apart outside the station. Would've just made it, even then, had a massive concert just not let out, bringing traffic to a halt outside Wembley.. still, it was fun trying =:)
Aww, no balloon panda! Maybe they can make you one next time you visit, to make up for it. ^_^
