Are you just coming here to get a bus to the cruise ship, are are you going to have a look around?
Basically, flew in and left. sorry. Tried to see the space centre on the way back but fog delayed us 4 hours so it was cancelled.

Also ice is slippery. And the damn snow hides it. :x

Well, after being on zero income for the past 4 months +, and being effectively homeless for much of them, I have finally managed to find a doctor that listens rather than chucks drugs at me. So I've been referred to the mental health unit (just need to wait to hear from them) and hopefully get things back on track for 2014 :)

I'm watching 'The tenth Planet'. And WOW those first Cybermen in their own way were the freakiest/scariest of all. :shock:

It's a 2003 Audi A4 Avant wagon with a 1.8 liter 4-cylinder turbo. 64,400 miles on it. :D

Thank you. :) It'll be nice to drive something that isn't about to fall apart any second.

Lost my phone in the snow two days ago. Go figure the only time it drops out of my pocket when I get out of the car is before a snow storm and then realize two hours later when there are four inches of snow on the ground that I am missing my phone.

Oh and that locate my cellphone option? Useless when it can't locate it more specifically than a two mile diameter general location.

Oh, that sucks. Never lost my phone, but I did lose my entire set of keys one time in a snowstorm.

I used to p*** my father off something chronic by alternating between losing my phone or breaking it every couple months. During my late teens and most of my 20's, I must have gone through 3-4 phones a year. Even now, my father has several numbers for me, though I am much better now. I just refrain from touching my mobile at all.

Nice Tsu; see quite a lot of A4 1.8T's around here with truly awesome mileages and still going strong. Hope it serves you well!

I cling to my phone like a child to their parent. I'm a text generation teen :wink: I have never lost a set of keys yet either besides the spare key for my first manual motorbike; fortunately old Hondas didnt have encoded keys so I could just get one cut in a shop. :roll:
