Bob of course. Soon as I get the lessons, and get over my fear of flying. :D

At these gas prices, it would still be cheaper to fly than to drive from England to Buffalo. :uhyeah:


May I ask you something?



How on earth would a person accomplish driving from England to Buffalo? I mean, outside of parking it on a boat/ freighter (still would be an outrageous price...)

Even then, unless you were actually driving the car during the trip—think of a Morris Minor on the deck of an otherwise empty supertanker— would you want to say that someone actually drove from England to Buffalo just because their car had been transported by boat.

You know... that actually answers the question. Drive to Portsmouth or wherever, load your car onto the freighter, drive around in a tight circle in the cargo hold of the freighter for the whole trip (make sure it's well ventilated, mind!) and when you hit NY, you set off for upstate. And when you arrive in Buffalo you can truthfully say that you drove the whole way from England to Buffalo! :D

Actually, I was considering the fact that your car would be with you as being "driving" to each place.... Your idea is not only HILARIOUS, but definitely considered driving.

Oh! And Drac? My response will remain at: :p

That didn't look like a gauntlet it looked like tongue which, unless I'm interpreting it entirely the wrong way, is pretty much the opposite of a gauntlet. :idunno:

The sticking out of the tongue WAS the tossing of the gauntlet..She was forcing me to post a comment, which I cannot do since this is a family site and I don't wish to upset anyone because of the adult nature of my response...Kapeesh??

Yes, we were wondering about this... and is there a rough idea of who will be teaching what? Ankh-wiring minds want to know (thinking of your old avatar, Bob...)

Not I..I'm just a poor dumb street cop, that is forced to teach rudementary skills to cadets, things many of you learned a LONG time ago..Events like this SHOULD be taught by martial art instructors...
