Now that you are back and not paying internet cafe rates, give us some more highlights!! And get a nap, I bet you have jet lag!! Again, welcome home. |

Wink | Tuesday, April 24, 2001 - 07:55 am  Welcome back Nancy. Sounds like you had a fabulous trip. |
Nancy091158 | Tuesday, April 24, 2001 - 08:36 am  thanks willi moon and wink..yes i did..only wish that it had been warmer--it was about 50 everyday and rained for two days--when i got back to boston i heard it had been 67-70 for 3 days straight here..GO Figure ..normally its 50 here now.. |
Nancy091158 | Tuesday, April 24, 2001 - 06:08 pm  ok--here's a couple of shakepearan insults to get started--from timon of athens--when there is nothing left from thee, thou shalt be welcome Would thou were clean enough to spit upon... all villians that do stand by thee are clean... and from henry the vth--your face is not worth sunburning..(ouch) |
Highlander | Tuesday, April 24, 2001 - 07:01 pm  Hey Nancy, I am curious did you have to go through any special screening because you came from the UK with the foot and mouth. I wonder how they treat people coming in from the UK, were you grilled? |
Grod | Tuesday, April 24, 2001 - 07:07 pm  today on the news they reported that the first case of rare human foot and mouse disease has been identified in the UK |
Grod | Tuesday, April 24, 2001 - 07:08 pm  oh oh oops....i meant foot and mouth not mouse. |
Nancy091158 | Tuesday, April 24, 2001 - 07:16 pm  HI grod, NO i DID not go thru any special screening-on the customs form they ask if you have been in any farming areas or petting zoo's. If the answer to that is Yes tHEN YOU have to go thru special cleaning of shoes/feet etc. I saw ONE family that this happened to but for the most part its the normal customs handling--i was in and out of the us customs area within 15-20 minutes--about 5 tops after getting my suitcase--they didnt even check any suitcases of ANYONE that I saw |
Highlander | Tuesday, April 24, 2001 - 07:20 pm  thanks Nancy, I was wondering about it. So it all comes down to an honor system. I dont know if I am comfortable with that idea. I can imagine enough people might lie about where they were during their trip. |
Nancy091158 | Tuesday, April 24, 2001 - 07:23 pm  well, I can only speak for boston, i dont know that all international airports in the u.s. handle it the same way (i would imagine so)..and your right it leaves a lot to be desired--i suppose if the customs people looked at shoes and noticed mud etc they might stop you anyway..but i didnt Notice anyone looking at shoes at all.. |
Highlander | Tuesday, April 24, 2001 - 07:25 pm  Well I imagine airports like Houston might not be so easy, they probably make you walk through showers there. |
Nancy091158 | Tuesday, April 24, 2001 - 07:30 pm  maybe but you'd think they'd all be the same--there are a Plenty of cows/sheeps to come in contact with here as well.. |
Highlander | Tuesday, April 24, 2001 - 07:40 pm  yes but you know how those Texans are, they are a country into themselves. |
Nancy091158 | Tuesday, April 24, 2001 - 07:47 pm  lol==not touching that comment with a ten-foot pole ;-) |
Highlander | Tuesday, April 24, 2001 - 07:48 pm  Nancy come on everyone knows in Texas they are 50 foot poles. |
Nancy091158 | Tuesday, April 24, 2001 - 07:51 pm  well, let me get my brolley and be sure not to get me knickers in an uproar i might touch it with a 50 foot one ;-) |
Highlander | Tuesday, April 24, 2001 - 07:53 pm  heard of knickers in a knot and knickers in a twist, I guess knickers in an uproar is a TEXANS way of saying it. lol |
Nancy091158 | Tuesday, April 24, 2001 - 07:56 pm  lol i just found out last week--NOT to call a fanny pack a fanny pack in england--and WHY ;-) |
Highlander | Tuesday, April 24, 2001 - 07:58 pm  ROFL, I bet there was a lot of stuff you found out. If someone told you they were pissed I am sure you figured it out after the fifth pub that they meant they were drunk. Then again if someone said they were going to look for a , I hope you realize they meant cigarettes. LOL |
Nancy091158 | Tuesday, April 24, 2001 - 08:01 pm  lol that one i knew--and of course i knew what shagging meant--but fanny pack vs BUM BAG was a new one LOLL |
Highlander | Tuesday, April 24, 2001 - 08:06 pm  well it just goes to show in one country a word can get censored and in another it can get taxed. |
Nancy091158 | Wednesday, April 25, 2001 - 07:00 am  LOL that's true HIGH--i have to dig out my book of british to american words and print some here(if anyone is interested) in the funny differences between british and american language--its a quite funny book ;-) |
