im going around the world

I would, but I'm emigrating to Brisvegas in December.

I'll be in Brisvegas in July as well.

If I'm still about and free then, then yes, I'll meet up with you, but as people have said, it IS a year away! ;D ;D

(Although I'll have A-Levels to contend with )

Met Bar? Wetherspoons? Count me in.

Not going with Phileas Fogg are you?
Will it take 80 days?
;D


[Sorry - useless attempt at a joke there]

We operate a kitty system, whereby you put a sum of money into a jar/beaker/glass. You then take what you need to buy the drinks for the night. Everyone chips in what they want. I remember helping whilst quite enibriated to divide up the remaining kitty after the last drinking shenanigans.... on err, 24th June. But still, you'll be in good company if a fair few of us turn up...

next year when it gets closer sound good?

To reassure you, I think that quite a few members would be interested in meeting you. For many residents of the UK, their knowledge of Australians stretches about as far as Dame Edna Everage, Crocodile Dundee and Rolf Harris. I do not think that many people would be surprised if it turned out that you were bright green and had antennae growing out of your head.

nop close but no cigare as they say. i month off most likely it will be october . but anything could happen!

Righto time for a translation of what CT said.
TRANSLATED VERSION OF REPLY 18.

I saw him post replies 18 and 19. So I know what he ment. (I insisted to edit it for him but no he didn't)

It will be probly like be an Australian summer. Just put on some sunscreen. You don't want to get burnt now would you. After all you know what happened to me when I was at the Gold Coast.

OK. You are now back on topic and I am sure that you will enjoy coming to England. London's Underground is made up of two separate systems, the 'Underground' or sub-surface lines (SSL) and the 'Tube'. In the central area, the SSLs tend to be beneath the streets and covered by brick arches which form a tunnel roof, although there are a number of openings at stations/between buildings and short sections that are in cuttings. The deep level tube is in smaller circular iron or concrete tunnels and is completely underground. Outside of the central area, most lines rise to the surface sooner or later.
There is therefore little chance of being afflicted with sun-related problems when travelling on LU in central London. Also, by October, the sun is lower in the sky, so theoretically less damaging.
Remember, few tourists (except the French) spend their holiday on the streets; it is simply a way of getting from A to B. If you are really interested in London's railway system, you will be thinking of ways to get out and spend every available moment on it, not looking at the latest fashions in shop windows - you can do that on another leg of your tour.
Bearing in mind that the English weather is far from unpredictable, I would advise that you give as much thought to wet-weather clothing as you are to sun-screen factor. You are far more likely to get soaked going to a tube station than you are getting sun burnt.

OK you two aussie guys, I've just removed most of the rubbish you put on this thread. In case you read as well as you write, I remind you of the warning about abusing other threads for chat purposes. Please find another site in your own country to continue your pointless (?humorous?) scrap.

We were serious about the result of doing what you two have done and if you repeat it the consequences will be inevitable.

yes, Annie Mole took a picture.
