Thai and vietnamese are YUMMERS.

Thai is, like Sean said, a strange mix of Indian and Chinese. And Vietnamese is like chinese, only (IMHO) better.


I like that you make up new words. You must take more headachy pills.

Yeah, though much of the Thai cuisine has this emphasis on peanuts, and peanutty sauces. Which I luv, but the cozenbody has a stupid allergic reaction to -- vis, acne! Bleh. Luv peanuts, can't eat 'em.

*With apologies to SR*

So, what's with this fee to drive in "downtown" London? Specifically, how and where does a prospective foreign driver go about paying this fee? No mention in the rental contract, none. Cuz, £5 is less than the £50 fine plus the £35 administration fee charged by the car-hire company. I figured that last part out all by my ownself. It's the first part that's got me miffed.

*Hands SR a fifth of Oban. Which, coincidentally, happens to cost exactly the amount debitted to cozen's credit card for the driving infraction, yep.*

Cheers! (, although less frothy, and generally meted out in smaller portions)

Apology accepted, but what's it for?

That wouldn't be Salieri's you're thinking of, would it?


sounds about right. I had no idea what it was like, just looked a bit bonkers to be honest, and thats always fun.

And why aren't you coming to S4? I've been to the Mackintosh places and yes, they're amazing. You'd get to see them too if you came up.


because no one in Glasgow need a corset making for them! the last two times i've had hotels and tickets covered and i'd just had to get there.
I did think about buying a ticket when we were at S£, but couldn't guarantee that i'd save enough.

cause i'm a total spend thrift. *slaps wristies*

Cozen, I hate to tell you this but you should have paid it the same day or the day after at the latest, so i'd check your bank statements to see if the rental company have charged your card. It goes on registration, so the rental place would have been billed, and passed it on to you. Just hopefully, they got charged the £8 as opposed to the penalty.

eeek! Keep drinkin the oban.

I think, that even if it causes major problems, I will definetly be coming to see Spamalot. I just don't care that much!

The only problem now is its my sisters birthday on the 13th, so i'd have to get a train back REALLY early, possibly.

Unless the day changes.

just looking at a site for it, this was funny -

well. it amused me.

But that's the question, Seryn. We should have paid what? And how?

There were no big signs up saying "Pay fee here before driving in city" or something. It was just this magical thing we were supposed to magically know.

Oh well, we learned a very important lesson. Never drive in London. EVER.

I saw those signs. But I didn't know what they meant.

So, this is why people got sick. They didn't pay the congestion charge.

So, how often must one pay that charge to drive in central London?

Come to my madness
