i can't compete with the Burritos and I don't have anything to make one with. It's 10:45pm over here so I'm eating my supper which is a Jacket Potato (baked for 1 hour in oven, not microwaved) with Mature Cheddar cheese and Spring Onion. I'll get fat eating this stuff before I go to bed :P

I'm going to be going to UK too next summer... for the hell of it.

But for now... I'm off to the river. Going to go get hammered and jump off of something way to high to jump off of drunk. :wink:

Anywhere in particular or just mulling it over for now? :)

EDIT | If you want ideas other than the cliche "London" visit then:

York
Manchester
The Lake District -- you gotta see that
Scottish Highlands
Take a trip to Ireland if you have time too.... I'm going on a PaddyWagon tour :)

Well there is a trip in the making to kind of travel Europe with my buddy for a month or two next summer, but as for destinations... we haven't come to any strict decisions.

You can get a train ticket for about £300 GBP and it lasts for 3 months. It gets you almost *anywhere* in europe for those 3 months. My brother did it for 8 weeks and saw lots of europe (we have a lot of variation culture) whilst spending little money staying in hostels and stuff. The hostels can be pretty good considering... some of them even had free internet access.

Yeah York is a definite must really great city with loads of interesting things and good night life. You have to go and see Dick Turpin's cell. Manchester has great night life. Like d11wtq says don't get stuck with just London in mind its far from one of our best citys. :)

On the way to my daughters team party last night at 4:00 our local temperature display said it was 113. I thought that that looked a little high, but the dash board thermometer on my car said it was 112. Man, it was hot. My house never got below 80 degrees on the inside. Slept on the floor of the living room with all the doors and all the windows open last night. Crazy Hot...

Lindbergh Field (at the ocean) hit 99, it's hottest temp since Sep 25, 1989.
El Cajon (20 miles inland) a new all-time high 114.
It was 114 at my house when the power failed at 2:30PM.
Fact: air conditioning does not work without electric power.
Power came back on about 8:00PM.

Wow...that is hot...

Where I live, the hottest it's ever been was +42C from what I remember and the coldest was -54C

In either case, damn cold in Winter and damn hot in summer...

This summer has been a hot one, unlike last which was cold and rainy
