Don't forget to visit Blackpool, Great Yarmouth, Oxford and some others.

I'm not THAT bad with geography...

For some reason my mind took it like "if I were visiting several areas in Europe"...maybe because of Cin.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Also, I don't make decisions like this COMPLETELY on a whim and it's a lot of money, so I really don't appreciate someone raining on my parade with their opinion of my choice as if no thought had gone into it.

Apparently someone missed the little blurb about 'family' and history, which plays a huge role.

Tracing back family history is quite an eye opener I find. We do get a good few Americans coming over to do just that. If I traced my family ancestors, I'd end up in North Germany. I'm of Saxon blood. My farther's side is Saxon which goes back to Germany. My ancestors were mainly woodsmen/lumberjacks.

Technically that side was also Eastern European, so I don't know what made them settle in England or for how long...more on that later. I know Pad is interested in migratory stories.

I have some detail knowledge of how my ancestors came to Britain.
When the Romans pulled out of Britain, since the Roman empire was on it's way out. The island was left largely undefended. So the Saxons invaded from the north from Scandinavia. Long way really, from north Germany, to Scandinavia and then to Britain. Settled here for a good few hundred years. Go back a thousand years or two and I'll be in north Germany. Mothers blood is Norman, which Normans came over during the Norman invasion. 1066.

London sucks... I haven't been in a couple of years, but I can't imagine it has changes hugely.

Too many people.

Too many English people in one place... If you know anything about the Scottish, then you will know that we don't like that Tongue
I do, however, know someone at the Royal Academy... He is cool... And is an excellent musician.
