I been in france, my girlfrends mum and dad live there, they have a farm with sunflowers, horses a lake and stuff.

Saw tons of stuff, this is 'Carcasson', man this place is straight out of fairy tales. Best castle i ever saw.




Toulouse: Pretty i guess.


Saw the new plane, biggest passenger plane in the world!:


All things considered great holiday

Back to work tommorrow mind

[Caseyweederman]

Oh man, I want to live in that castle. Tell me, were you in it? Is there power/internet/etc? I think that would ruin the whole sense of it being a castle... I just don't see any radio towers or generators.

Hm. Looks great.

Tell me, about that plane... were there snakes on it? Could it be said that there were Snakes on a Plane?

[Nalyid]

wow, really good pictures, the plane looks like it is landing on a small highway overpass, that was a good post, what kind of camera did you use?

[Faselei]

That plane is longer and wider than a 747 and has two storeys the whole way its. just. huge

Snakes? Hmm to my knowledge there were no snakes aboard the plane Casey, i think theres a European Union directive against transportation of snakes on aeroplanes within the union, EC/349955/1998/B strictly prohibits "the transportation of snakes upon experimental aircraft which take of or land in member states".

I nicked them all im afraid, took them on the my girlfriends camera which she has, but i was showing some msn folks it all anyway so thought i'd post here too. These are mine though:

Heres another castle then (Edinburgh):


And heres Paris:


Pretty french town:


This is a *genuine* Irish bog!!!


Britain mainly looks like this:


Celtic stone circle a few miles away:


Why do i have all this junk lying around...

I lived in england for a year and i went into what could possibly be king aurthors castle. History lesson people! Well things in england are quite different,
you see you know how little kids run around the grocerie store when you go to it?
well in england they found a soloution to that, what they did was take pies and throw it at the kids faces and they fainted... jk they would put them in this little playground area and you play till your mom comes to get you when she finishes shopping. Aaah i still remember that little playgroung it was fun...

[Moose]

lol dunno why but i could imagine u with a proffersors voice....
and thats sum nice pics guys ill see if i can find sum when i went to england and visited all thos cooky places like the tower of london and legoland.

[Drackir]

Wow. Those pics are really cool! I really want to travel around but I have school and stuff right now. No time.

[rickoshay818]

lol i can't travel all together.... 1. My mom won't let me 2. I can't drive yet... Dangit!!! 3. I get carsick...

[Faselei]

Ah, no rush, plenty of time. Best time is whilst a student, problem is ... no money! Now i have to work for a living not much time off, but enough money to do it, very frustrating!

Im going to America in November! yay! Unfortunatley its Texas... oh well beggars can't be choosers, my uncle lives there so very cheap.

Hmm i guess thats one positive about the UK,
a: "oooh, where shall we go on holiday for a week?"
b: "Well i guess theres always, France, Spain, Ireland, Switzerland, Italy, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Croatia, Poland, Czeck Repulblic, Latvia, Austria, Holland, Belgium, Luxamborg, Litchenstien or Monocco, within 3 hours flight and all for under US$150 any of those sound good?"
a: "Errm, yeah... hows about we got to Rome, Venice, Florence and Milan in a week".
b: "Yeah okay then" *books very cheap flight*.

Travelling is my number one favourite thing to do in the whole world, (with some obvious exceptions).

[Caseyweederman]

Exceptions... Like not being able to bring toothpaste or baby formula onto the plane?

*shudder*
So very Orwelian, yes?

[Drackir]

b: "Well i guess theres always, France, Spain, Ireland, Switzerland, Italy, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Croatia, Poland, Czeck Repulblic, Latvia, Austria, Holland, Belgium, Luxamborg, Litchenstien or Monocco, within 3 hours flight and all for under US$150 any of those sound good?"

I hate you...

[Faselei]

Drak, yeah i kind of did that on purpose

Orwelian you say Casey? Hmm yeah i'd agree. It took 8 hours to get from France to England the other day, an hour and a half flight usually. The security was astonishing, no chocalate, food or water, no electronic items (had to put my precious DS in the hold baggage!), everyone was body serched... now Toulouse to Bristol is hardly London to New York.

It smacked of politically motivated over-reation. On the one hand 'be afraid mere citizen, for they are tyring to kill you all" and on the other "do not worry, your state is looking after you, vote us back in".

Then theres using such scares as further justification for erosion of civil liberties and privacy and increased surviellance, we have ID cards coming in here in 2012, they will have fingerprints and biometric data on them, its ludicrious it really is

Oh and by exceptions i meant more, err, you know things you do when you get past 18, with err, girls and stuff

[Drackir]

Voting?

[Caseyweederman]

Haha, Faselei, the bashful braggart? Interesting...
It's ok, we're all men here. Just not bawdy enough to make Drackir jealous, then he'd delete it!
*grins*


I shudder when I think of such things (biometrics, not adulty things with teh ladies). The government would be the leading force in the economy...
"Unit 87002, why were you not at work today?" (this being beamed into my brains, my exact precise whereabouts being traced every instant of every moment of every minute of every hour etc etc)
Heck, with so much power and such convenient ways of knowing what you are doing at any moment, how the heck could they not be corrupted all to hell?
"You went to the movies and then walked around town for 2.1513 hours. This is unnaceptable, you have a math exam tomorrow."
They'd have full control of such simple things as what I want to be when I grow up. I'd never be able to do anything fun as Big Brother would always be breathing down my neck.

Ok, so maybe I'm getting a tad carried away, but with that kind of power, how else would they use it? There's no other purpose, in the long run. Chips implanted in the brain... Everybody a zombie.
