10. Yes, though long flights are boring, but it's exciting anyway!
11. Sorry Califorinian ledgies, but I was dissapointed about LA. It was to crowded. I was very excited about Hollywood, the hills, Venice. Of course it has nice places (beaches, parks) but the whole thing was dissapointing. It was too crowded. Too much.

Dang...I've seen lots of landmarks, but can't think of my fave....seeing the Hollywood Bowl back in '98 was awesome. Watching the bats fly out of Carlsbad Caverns kicks a$$!!

Not particularly, but sometimes, ya can't get around it, dammit. LOL

Not a city, but Arkansas...bleh!! The only good city was Eureka Springs. Sorry to all Arkansas Ledgies.

No, not enough of Liverpool and Manchester... Maybe next time huh?

Oh, I think you saw more than enough of Birmingham to last a lifetime...

Yes the broken cot and the bathroom.. Sounds like the title to a Fawlty Towers episode (played out like one too if I recall)

Yeah, I don't think B-Ham was all that impressive, from what I saw...I'll never forget the accents tho.

One of these days, I'm gonna write a script for a TV show and that scene will be used. LOL!!

You've seen Coupling, right? GREATNESS!!! I have season 1 on DVD, and need to get the other two, sometime. It's one of my fave TV shows, soooo much better/funnier than Friends.

NBC should never have bastid-ized Coupling!

You get Keeping Up Appearances too?

haha, never thought that one would make it over..

I remember checking into a hotel on South Beach once and switching on the TV and the first thing I see is Red Dwarf!!! I thought "ugh? What the hell is this doing on here?" So I switched channels and saw the "Miami" video by Will Smith which was filmed right outside the window! Very odd stuff.. Or should I say "Isn't that weird?"

wondergirl9847 · #15 06-10-2004, 07:33 PM

We get KUA over here. BBC America shows it as well as PBS channels. Coupling, Are You Being Served?, Blackadder (LOVE Rowan!!), Mr. Bean, The Thin Blue Line, Fawlty Towers, KUA, Red Dwarf (Have never watched that one.), The Office (have heard TONS about this, but have yet to see it!!), Vicar of Dibley....etc.
