Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.

Having a beer with Elvis the killer dog with us.
A young Spanish family came to see Elvis and kept saying burrito. Was a bit confusing but we just smiled.
After they left a pal came over and apparently they were saying perrito

Means puppy He's 12

I meant to mention, I stayed at a place in Portugal recently, nice owner, with a very sweet dog also called Elvis! Really couldn't tell his age, other than he was really slow ( I thought he was just being cool ) but apparently he was 15.

The youngest has a thing of waking up early on the first day of term to get dressed & ready. It's become a tradition.

She started 6th form/college today and sent me a snapchat of her in her 1st day outfit at half three this morning.

I'll be asleep within two hours.

Saw the CEO of my bank in the office yesterday. Asked him nicely if he could find some time to record a video reciting snippets of lyrics that I could play at the next quiz night in October. He laughed and said he thought it was a great idea and would do it and round up other board members too.

S'not what you know, etc. etc.

It's always interesting to see where our visitors come from...

I think the English channel has a lot to do with that.

It adds time and money to a journey to somewhere hot and cheap so Brits are more likely to fly to a Spanish or Greek island instead of driving or the train to Southern Europe like people on the continent tend to do.

I know they're no every ones cup of tea, but I loves a Hard Rock (I'm sure that's going to get mis-quoted). I've been in 16 different ones, iirc.

That one is practically on my door step!

The prices aren't as daft as I expected..

I don't need a menu and the price doesn't matter... A full rack of ribs and a Long Island Iced Tea (or three).

They sure know how to make a proper Long Island.

The two in Sharm were a little disappointing, they didn't do ribs in Islamic countries, I had to have lamb chops

We went to the one at Niagra Falls. Was really cool, in a trashy American way

Apart from London which I've been to for work only, you've only named 1 place I've been.

Ditto.
Hell I still haven't been to the local Hickories and it's been open for 5 years.

The Hooters over the pond are much better than the crappy ones in UK

I always used to love me a Pig Sandwich*, but that was back in the day when you just didn't get American BBQ in the UK. You do now, and, well, the HRC (ha!) one just ain't all that IMO.

London has some pretty impressive gear though. The one in Orlando (the biggest/formerly the biggest) also has loads of cool stuff.

Not been to one in nearly 10 years though now I think on it! From memory I've done London, Orlando, New York, San Francisco, Toronto, Nottingham and Barcelona.

My rents have got a massive board of HRC guitar fridge magnets. They're pretty stereotypical tourists

*Which IIRC isn't actually called that any more.
