does anyone find that after 4 or so hours of drinking you just hit a wall and get bored? or is it just me?

Yeah, always. I either manage to stop drinking at the right point, feel somewhere between tipsy and drunk, and have a great night. Or I drink too much, get bored, and then sometimes get really pissed off. No Kentpaul level dickery though, I just become shit company.

Anyone know any stores (beside Levis, Debenhams and John Lewis) in London that sell Levis jeans? I've been looking all day and I can't find a 32 waist 30 length pair that actually fit :( Well I did actually to be fair, but I wasn't going to pay £90

There's a Levi store on Regent Street (near Warner Bros shop I believe) and there's one in Westfield Shopping Centre.

The best thing KFC do right now is that spicy wrap thing that's about 2 quid.

Getting a cheeseburger for free with your meal is greedy as fuck.

Smarties McFlurry for me.

Charcoal portrait of the lady and I. I forgot how talented these street artists can be. Looks well good.

I also forgot it's hare Krishna. Lots of street revelling.

Interesting. How did you end up in Columbia and what is it like as a place to live?
Click to expand...

I came here because of my now ex-girlfriend who was from here. Long story short, we broke up, I decided to stay anyway and eventually found another woman who I've been with for some time now.

Bogota is like any other huge city, really. Has its good points and has its bad points. Everything is really fucking cheap, though and the cost of living is ridiculously inexpensive.

You know Cork is not in Northern Ireland, right? ;) Nor is Bogota in the northeast of Colombia where the trouble tends to be. Back to school with ya!

A female politician in her early 30's caused a commotion by saying that most young Irish females are slappers that fornicate all over the gaff.

Didn't go down well.

What the fuck is up with London shops not opening until noon on a Sunday? Only city in the UK in my experience that has this barbaric practice.

Did you take a peek at the shambles that is the Trocedero Arcade now?

Also how was the animu night?
Click to expand...

I was up there recently (Girlfriend got cheap Laser tag session to celebrate her birthday with), and it's looking horrible.

Namco Station's alright but I'll agree with Suairyu by saying that I miss the Trocadero arcade, too.

Last time I went it was a bunch of arcade machine scattered about on the basement level.

And one shop was selling dodgy knockoffs of Mario toys. Lets just say the Spring Mushroom takes on a completely different meaning when they use brown felt.
