Wow a few months ago when I was in London, I stayed in Richmond... which is the last stop on that train... and it took no time to get downtown London.  The only problem is making sure you're on that train before the last one pulls out before midnight... otherwise you could be waiting in Hammersmith all night for the night busses (which I had to do on way too many occasions).

I remember being in Tulsa quite a few times on tour with bands... so they do get there.  Maybe you're just not too close to Tulsa.

Actually, I live in Tulsa...

But this is the 21st Century, not the 70s.

But maybe I'm just not looking hard enough. I'm going to start a prog band (when someone comes along who knows what it is). I feel better. But I wasn't too bad off in the first place....

Oh well. I got my bass, I got my dad, I got my music, I got a lot of time, I got the internet, and I got possibilities for later.

I shouldn't expect to run into such stuff so soon... it'll come.

(btw, is threefates an ex-groupie or something?)

Are you sure this lady is a prog fan?

By the hold she has on these three individuals, she could be a pro/celebrity wrestler

Check out Mr Wakeman on Fridays nights 10pm,  BBC 2 as one of those grumpy old men!!! Sorry the rest of the world, this is the Friday treat for those of us Brits who don't get out much - trouble I've found I agree with most of what they say (worse I thought I was the originator but clearly not).- Mind you they do demonstrate that they are NOT REAL MEN, by being unable to cope with IKEA pre-packed furniture..........................

[QUOTE=threefates]

I presume you mean Richmond-upon-Thames, Surrey, not Richmond in Yorkshire? The cab drivers operating out of Heathrow Airport have been known to con Americans by taking them to a different locations but having approximately the same names.

 

It not help by most  Americans I've met asking me if where I live is in London - I now answer Yes - it saves explanations. Living 135 miles north of London is a long way out. However, I now have a better sense of the American scale of distances as being quite different from  ours. Whilst holidaying in Vegas summer 2003, several people told us we had to visit the Grand Canyon - because it "wasn't that far away". I'm never ever going to drive 600 miles (i.e. the distance of the MGM Grand hotel to the lip of Canyon and back) again in one day!Dead But the view made up for it.

Yep, I meant Richmond Upon Thames.. next to Kew Gardens and Twickenham.. where I've also stayed a few times.  I have a thing for Richmond Park.  And I really feel at home on Richmond Hill.. since my neighbors last time was Pete Townshend and Ronnie Wood.  Mick Jagger has a house there too.. but then he has a house not too far from me in NYC where he stays more often.

Yes Dick.. I drove from Lochgelly Scotland to Bournemouth last November and the lady in the Avis rental office said that was such a long drive... I said I live in NYC and my home in NC is a 10 hour drive away... believe me, that drive from Scotland to Bournemouth was nothing.

Well.. Maani and I got to hang out a little with Marillion the other night.  I got some great pictures of the show... I just posted some of them under the Band on Tour section - under Maani's review in the "Live Performance Review".  However, I did get one "trademark" shot with the bassist, Pete Trewavas, before my camera battery went completely dead.  Geez and missed all the affection from Steve Hogarth... I'm bummed!
