For those who recommended I visit Bristol...

[Japher]

1) Come to Texas.

I have only been to San Antonio, but that was one nice town... extremely Beautiful.

Next vacation down to the Carrib. or Mexico way I think I will stop off for a few days in Dallas or Houston just for the hell of it; the flights from here are long anyway.

I think I will try and stay away from the UK. I was there in like '90 and thought the London to be dirtier than NY, which is huge.

Yeah Bristol is the bad side of city life in the west country, i much prefered bath, less impoverished urban pollutionism going on.
The only good thing i've heard about Bristol is its got a good music scene going on. Various friends of mine who didn't fancy the big smoke of London went there for that reason.
Aber is a beautifully poetic place, i lived close to it once, the mountains(great for running up and down), sea and the uni gave it a special something
Oh and they do Honey Ice-cream in the harbour, or was that the other Aber near by?

I think you mean ivory tower, but then such an error would be characteristic. Perhaps you could team up with Slowwhand so that you could both chew gum and breathe at the same time.

Life in the ivory tower is fine, by the way.


Do feel free to explain bourgeois Royal.

Any time.

Really.

[Ted Striker]

Nope, Ivory Tower is the original phrase.

You on the other hand live in a glass tower.

Cause it's just an imaginary pedestal you built in that overinflated blowhard head of yours.

Try and get out into the real world and mix with some real people some time. Preferably ones that aren't required to wear a jacket.

Maybe me and Sloww will even buy you some ribs and chicken at the Texas Roadhouse.

Oh, you're so funny, and so way off mark, it splits my sides. Really, it is to larf.

I don't mind you getting things wrong, I've come to expect it from you.

Still- 'bourgeois Royal' and 'Texas being entirely blue collar'- do feel free to explain.

Any time.

But soon would be nice.

Son, your mother and I are very proud of your scholastic acheivements, but you ain't got no damn common sense.

Bourgeois Royal, ted?

Texas all blue collar?

Just explain, that's all.

Any time.

[Ted Striker]

Perhaps....

PERHAPS I shall explain it in a sonnet?

What doth thou wrought upon us?

Or even in a most eloquent treatise.

Oh, you are making me blush.

Carry on lad!

[TCO]

molly, quit being such a prig. It isn't becoming.

[SlowwHand]

Beyond the expectations of mortal man.

Molly personifies the saying "Never try to teach a pig to sing. It will only irritate you, and piss off the pig."

Japher. You find yourself coming through Dallas, let me know.

Either I have missed something or you have been woefully misinforming me. Laz, how can you live in such a craphole? The place smells, the city centre is crap and the beer is overpriced...I get the feeling I have missed something about it, perhaps a bribe to tell others it is a good place, but I am pretty sure I got a good look at the place.

So tell me, what is so good about Bristol that I missed, because it seemed absolutely revolting to me....

I don't live in Bristol, and I'm on record for slagging it off.

The city centre was extensively redesigned by the Luftwaffe and 1960's town planners- it's a toss-up as to who did most damage.

The smell was probably the river. When the tide's out, it reeks.

There are good points to the city, but they aren't conveniently packaged for tourists. As for the beer? You went to the wrong pub. In the mid-90's the Cadbury House had Eng;and's cheapest beer.
