Hi from England (Classic)

Tim_A · 06-03-2010, 12:49 PM

Just discovered these forums, so I'm saying hi, from a currently sunny & 24 degrees England. (that's classic, not new...

) had a Sony reader (600) for about a year, and now an iPad.

Typing this outside a coffee shop in the midle of Oxford. Life is so hard...!

Hi Tim and welcome to MobileRead. I used to live in England (Beds) and recall very nice summers. I seem to remember they usually fell on a Tuesday.

Oh well, the beer was excellent!

General George Patton is supposed to have said England and America are "two great nation separated by a common language."
Here in the Pacific North Left, we had summer on a Sunday afternoon last week, so more people were able to enjoy it.

Good to have your company, Tim. Great to hear that you can make the most of your new iPad with a sunny start to the English summer. Best wishes. Neil

Thanks for the welcome

I've been to America a few times, and consider myself cosmopolitan enough to have a passing familiarity with the language (at least enough not to ask to borrow someone's rubber...). Everything else I learned from Starsky & Hutch, and the Dukes of Hazard.

Still don't understand grits...

If it helps, just think of grits as polenta. They're almost the same thing, just usually have different additions or flavorings.

Hominy grits, OTOH, are almost inexplicable, even within the south (trust me, you just don't want to know)
