I didn't know there was a Mexican resturaunt in Piccadilly. There's one in Leicester Squere called "Chiquitoes" that really tastes like authentic mexican food. But it is WAAAAAAAAAAAY overpriced. The exact same burrito that I can get in my mex-rest at home cost $4.50, here costs 8.50 (pounds)!!!! And it was the cheepest thing on the menu!!!Quote:

it appears, by looking at this poll, that us old farts are definitely in the minority. i really had no idea that so many of the users were so young. for some reason, i assumed that everyone was my age...egocentric twit i am.
Well... yeah we (30-39) are in the minority vb, but I don't mind ;) I've still made some great friends here. A lot of students happen onto this place when looking for ebooks, so it makes sense. Oh! Idea for another poll!

Welcome back, Shea. :D
Well don’t feel bad guys, I’m that lonely 4.17% up there. I need to get AP to vote I don’t look so out of place.
Kik, hopefully that place at Piccadilly has gone out of business by now. We ate there right before the first gulf war. It was sort of off of a side street and down below street level. The food was lousy the price was high but the entertainment was good. We fell in with a bunch of drunken Germans and had a large time. They’d sing a German folk song then make us sing a tune; all I think of were sea chanties – “Your mother swims after troop ships – and catches them – so lets sing another verse that’s worse that the other verse – an waltz me around by my willie.” The Britt’s were trying to decide whether the Germans or Americans were more barbaric.
LMAO@Sancho's shanty (whew, say that three times, let alone fast)
mmm foood...*needs to go on a diet*
Heh heh,
Right you are. OK, so I wanna talk about guitars some more.
Emily, small hands needn’t be a detriment. I once had a friend (Uhh that sounds funny “I once had a friend”) anyhow, she was a very small woman with tiny hands and was probably the best classical guitarist I’ve known. And those classical guitars have big honkin’ fret boards. She’d hold the neck almost vertical and play with her wrist practically straight.
There are a few guitars that are known for their smaller necks and thus are popular with people who have small hands: Taylor’s OO model, Martin’s OM model, I’ve got a Fender Stratocaster that plays like butter; it’s got a thin neck.
Incidentally people with large hands complain too. Look at a picture Jimi Hendrix. His hands were so big that they made his Strat’ look like a toy.
Anyway, if you're halfway as good with notes as you are with words we may have another Eddie Van Halen on our hands. (I'm still cracking up over that monocle in the champagne glass bit.)
LOL poor Koa. So mean, Sanch :D
I'm trying to picture myself using that vertical technique, and all I can see is myself as Ravi Shenkar. Eep. (btw, in googling to make sure I spelled his name right, I discovered this post... just thought I'd share he joy: <http://www.halfbakery.com/idea/AutoSitar> )
Mmm.... Jimi Hendrix's big hands..... :p
And thank you for the compliment. :D I'll go for one of those. Although, I must admit, it's easy to be funny when you steal from the Simpsons. (Whoops! I guess the contest's off. Heh. I didn't have a real prize anyway.) I'll take credit for the champagne bit, though. (Is it right to begin and end a statement with the word "though?"....though? No. Gah, I'm turning into Plath.)
Anyway, I'll keep working on it. Thanks, Sancho.
Dang it! My writing is so poor I may have unintentionally expressed a hurtful idea. Koa, I no-way no-how meant to tell you that I thought you should diet. (I intuitively think that you’re probably being too hard on yourself.) I was trying to say that I need to diet; that one I can guarantee. After all, I’m the one who has been mindlessly blabbering about food now for the last umpteen posts. Whew.
LOL I thought you were kidding anyway, Sancho. I don't think it'd hurt her.
Koa's a tough bird. If you hurt her feelings for real, she probably wouldn't let you know.
Or she'd write a really creative and biting poem about you and post it. (hint hint, Koa :p)
I'm bulletproof
