The Long Wait

Sorry Folks for the lack of video yesterday, especially when it was our back up day for missing the day before that. So... I guess what I'm saying is that I'm sorry for missing the day that was the back-up day for our regular posting day.

Anyway this is friday's video.


Whoops,
Stuart from Canada

Lawn-Dawn: Take 2

Hello everyone!

Here are some exciting things I'm going to recount to you like an excited pre-teen girl:

1) Omigod you won't believe I forgot to tell you I'm so stupid sometimes okay okay here we go when Stu and me were in Edinburgh on our last day we went to the store right and the guy behind the counter who is always really nice to me and compliments me and is a cool guy and really nice and stuff well that guy said to us that SEAN MUTHAFUCKIN CONNERY had passed by all with an umbrella like it ain't no big deal that he's SEAN MUTHAFUCKIN CONNERY just one hour before we got there and we were all like "Awwwwwwww!"

2) Omigod and then the next day after we came to London which is SOOOO cool like all the buildings and stuff are much bigger than they are anywhere else and you think "what could this possibly have been, like a house for giants" and stuff we saw a stall for cheap tickets and bought tickets to BILLY MUTHAFUCKIN ELLIOT that totally heartwarming story about a kid dancing and stuff that is one of LONDON'S HIT MUSICALS and so we're totally going to see it tomorrow.

3) Omigod and then this other thing, we totally saw Stonehenge and I was all like "AWW, DRUIDS!" but then the audio guide which was narrated by this totally stuck up sounding British dude and woman and stuff was all like "NO DRUIDS EVER HERE EVER" and I was all like "NO WAY!!"

4) Americans suck. Fuckin suck. What is wrong with them?!

Anywho, I'm going to continue to listen to people who are very drunk singing TNT in our sketchy sketchy hostel bar in the ghetto Dollis Hill (West End, yo!) neighbourhood of London.

Superlong Superpost Superfabulouso,

Goatman

Greetings from the Burgh,

Actually no one calls it that, i guess some people might but for the most part they get beat up when they do. This video takes place during our journey to Edinburgh. Since
then we received several promising flat share offers, John has spilt two entire pints of beer and has had one very graphic illustration of the male genitalia drawn on his face.

Tomorrow we are scheduled for some viewings of flats as well as we are set to delve further into the mysteries of the enigmatic Edinburgh.

People as People #1


Hello Everyone,
I am proud to introduce the newest segment of the website, "People as People" a segment where we take pictures of people who look like other people. This entry was taken at the Tower of London and was the inspiration for this new and exciting blog addition. Enjoy!

Yesterday's Posts Today!

Success!

I have managed to defeat the unimaginable incompetency of Windows and produce for you the video promised yesterday. Look for the Street Meat. Mmm...street meat.

I am writing this on the train to Edinburgh, where it is a balmy 4 degrees. For all the cynics of British weather out there, it has not rained once and it has never dropped below 0. It's like a Canadian October over here.

Anyway, sorry for the delay, but, again, blame Windows and all their bullshit. Videos will be ready on time now that we've given in to Mac.

Cheers,

John from Canada

P.S: Please accept as an apology for our lateness this previously unreleased bonus video of a nighttime tour of our room at Picadilly Backpackers!

Windows is my Enemy

So hey everyone, guess what?!

We had a kickass video made for you today! We were even done early!

It involved us on a subway and Stuart eating street meat!

But then guess what happened?!

My computer failed to render the file!

In case you don't know what that means, it means that my computer sat on my lap like a limp dick and did jack all!

So instead of making an awesome video for y'all, I had to look up drivers for my video card!

Then I realized that it would take more than an hour to download my driver, and internet in London is exorbitantly expensive!

So sorry guys, but blame fucking Windows, whose goal in life is to make my constant defense of their programs a joke!

Fuck you, Windows!

And cheers to the rest of you.

Lawn-Dawn


Hey all,

John and I had a long tourist filled day today. We went to the tower of London, the National Gallery, and the Winston Churchill and War Cabinet Museum. It was a day chalk full of British national history with more mentions of Henrys, Edwards, and Elizabeths then I can remember.

Livin' the tired life,

Stuart from Canada

Air Drag

Greetings,

I am writing to you from Piccadilly Backpackers common room in jolly old London. After a very mentally and physically draining 24 hours of travel John and I have thankfully arrived.

Our flight was delayed 6 hours leaving at 1:00 am instead of the scheduled 6:30. After hours of waiting we boarded out plane which was surprisingly comfortable and a short 6:05 minutes later arrived in Heathrow Airport. Customs was easily navigated which was a blessing as John and I were zombies by that point.

Long story short were here and pleasantly surprised to find the weather is everything we hoped for and more, i just wish i'd brought my shorts. AND you can see grass here because their is absolutely no snow anywhere...ANYWHERE.

Stuart from Canada

P.S: I apologize for the slovenly production values of today's video. It was made under extreme fatigue and exhaustion.
