Not really, lol apparently they were retired in the late eighties and only one is still in flying condition AND it fod'ed two of its engines at the start of the year. Miracle its up at all. I'm seriously jealous of the opportunity to see one fly.

I'd be effed with the averaging cameras if they were on I90

Only been up there a few times but I maintained a prety high average on that road

30 miles at 50 MPH-I wanted to kill something.

Just be glad you didn't have a hamburger over there

They flat out destroy what SHOULD be beef over there

I hated ALL the food!

I hate it rained you out....we had great weather thur/fri/sat there

OH...BTW...the boots...they're called "Wellies" for "wellington boots" and it's a new fad in the UK

All the teen girls are wearing them (Drake had a concert in Hyde park and I caught some pics of HoochiePalooza while there)

The UK can keep most of those!

Did you look for groupings or were there just that damn many of them? Just once I'd like to be on the supply side of a fad that takes off like that..

You ain't friggin kidding man!!!

And to thing...RUBBER BOOTS?!?!? I mean c'mon? HOW did a trend like this get started?

[shitty British accent] I dunno mate, maybe it's a wee bit muddy today. I know they look a wee bit bullocks but I might wear me daddies rubbers out tonight to keep my hooker heels from getting dirty[/shitty british accent]

BTW...after 4 days the accent grates on your damn nerves like you wouldn't believe

No...Just Hyde park, and JUST at this entrance to the park. Every other street in London looked like downtown Charlotte on any given day. Yeah, traffic, but nothing to write home about...and a few dozen people on the sidewalk every 100 ft.
But you put a young, Black american rapper on a stage in a park in a city with VERY few black men.... and every 12-18 yr old white vagina within 700 miles is alerted. The black hoes were PISSED!!!!
