Off Topic for this thread but it saves me starting another one and in 
this green society that gives me brownie points and points mean?

ISIHAC Series 52, Episode 2 has an interesting game of Mornington 
Crescent. It can be heard for 12 more days at

Heh. Sure. I mean, just turn my back on everyone and everything I have 
ever cared about in this world, travel thousands of miles to somewhere 
where I don't even know what the laws are never mind the local customs, 
and live in total isolation for the rest of my life (or at least until I 
decide I want to stop). I'm sure people do it every day. :-}

There are Other People in SF you know!  Probably even some POVers and 
Haskelers.

Heh. Sure. Because I'm *made* of money! (Not to mention the Minor Detail 
of the timezone difference...)

Excuse me sir? Is that an open beer container? In this country, it is 
illegal to have an open beer container inside a moving vehicle. Could 
you come with me please...

If I can't meet people here in the normal world, what chance do I stand 
in a foreign country?

You won't notice any difference then.

My wife moved to the USA from China. We pay $0.06/minute to talk on the 
phone. When she got here, she had $18, which was something like a full 
month's pay in China at the time, so it should be plenty to get to where she 
was going and find a place to stay, right?

See? You already know the laws. :-)

Probably a lot better, with nothing to lose and surrounded by people who are 
actually *friendly*.   (Not that I'd say that about *every* US city, but 
SanFran is high on the list.)

Heck, interview for google. They seem a very friendly bunch too.

Heh, no. Only what I've heard. ;-)

Actually, I sometimes wonder if all those other people of the world 
actually thing that Englishmen walk around all day in tophats and tails 
drinking tea and eating biscuits. Cos, you know... one could easily make 
that mistake.

Yeah, and we have shoot-outs in the street every day, just for fun. :-)
