Comment on How Tywyn thwarts Google Street View… by mockduck

LJ’s Offensive Mango has just pointed me towards your post because I blogged much the same thing this morning about my parents’ street in Exeter:

went to have a look at my parents’ house in Exeter too. I’m not sure how long Exeter has been live – possibly it has come online at the same time as Brighton and the several other towns which ‘launched’ today. It turns out there is a strange blip on my folks’ road. You start at the top and within a few houses you pass my childhood home. There it is with my mum’s bike parked out front. Then all of a sudden, you are in the alley down the back of their houses, where all the garages and back gates are. Carry on, and you’ll be returned to the street.

(You can see it on EX4 4NR)

It is nice of you to think of telling them: that hadn’t occured to me, which makes me feel less public-spirited.

You know, I have a half-Korean nephew named McLean. (He is 1/16th Scottish-American and the other 7/16 English-American).

Comment on The day I met David Tennant… by Leanna Renee Hieber

Words cannot describe my affection for David Tennant and my jealousy towards you, sir. *grin* Cheers!

(I work at a satellite media tour studio in Manhattan, so I understand, the only person I ever begged for an autograph was the Muppets. And a photo with Tim Gunn. If David Tennant were in the studio, however, I don’t know if I could trust myself with any amount of civility, intelligence or bodily control)

Hey Andrew! First, glad its going well! heh its never easy to share space. After six years Daniel and I still argue about closet space and my tendancy to leave sh** everywhere. One would think that it would get easier the longer you’re with a person but for me at least it doesn’t. it just gets more annoying. hope that doens’t happen to you. hehe good luck!

Who’s HyperHam? Your roommate/housemate?

And yeah, I wouldn’t like the way she acts around the place.

Oh you’re so right. Traveling into New York, Miami, LA and San Francisco. Horrid experiences, horrendous queues and the thought they’ll turn you away after you’ve spent so long getting there. Free holiday in florida – no you’re alright!

[...] About six months ago, when Torchwood: Children of Earth killed off a key character, it created a bit of a mini-dramastorm. [...]

Comment on Diversity in the UK, late-70s style… by Christopher

Wow, very funny. All we need for the remake video is a thousand-sari-strong Bollywood dance line behind them and Ali G doing a Paki rap in the middle.
