Hi, Wayne.
I'm from North London.
I am fan of Dokic, Vaidisova, Vesnina, Ivanovic:)

[Davenport]

Hey, I'm from the USA. (North Carolina, originally from the suburbs of Atlanta.) You can see some of my faves in my sig. :)
To answer your questions:
Good, thanks. You?

For the most part.

Absolutely.

Pixy. :)

See you around.

lol@Davenport:D
BTW, my local is very dirty, it's horrible:(

[Davenport]

:D
Your local? How so? That's sad. :(

[pixy75]

Well, there are many beggars, drug dealers, psycopass
on the street, also street is very dirty and buildings are old and ugly. I am fed up with the useless labour government:(

[Davenport]

Wow I'm sorry. Is North London the bad part? Well apparently so.

[pixy75]

Yep, on the whole, North London is quite tatty,
except Hampsted that has huge park Karl Marx used to visit:cool: .
But East London is worse. There are many terrorists.
As you know, they tried to attack US cities like Frorida, Boston, LA by UK jets:(

[Davenport]

That was scary. The whole US was in fear. Women weren't allowed to bring any liquid cosmetics on the planes. Really, no liquids, unless you tasted them in front of security. (I heard that about baby food!) It was a weird day. What part of the city was bombed last year? That was sad. :( I watched it on tv all day (on vacation!).

[pixy75]

No liquid, same here. UK is small country, but from London to Scotland is very far, so flight is essential for life. Moreover, UK is isolated from continent. It's like our biggest pleasure, travel is destroyed by terrorists:(

The part was bombered is central London, but the biggest damaged area is Kingscross and Russel Square, it closes to North London. At that time, I lived in south London. When I was ready for going to uni, my flatmate told me underground was attacked, so I can't go to Uni. I couldn't understand the meaning, but I saw news on TV and stunned. I walked towards London Bridge. Many people watched the announcement by Tony Blair. English people is usually funny, but they looked quite serious at that moment. They showed powerful attitude against terrorism. About one month later, terrorism was tried again but just attempted.
I heard the news from Jamaican guy at record shop.
The funny thing was I saw a tall caucasian fella was investigated his instrument case by cops:p . But, the shock was huge. We still have been living under the threat of terrorism:(

[Davenport]

Life isn't safe anymore, sadly. It's a good thing you're okay though. :)

[Jennifer]

Yep, life has changed no matter where we are now... sadly I must add...

[pixy75]

Thanks, Davenport. I am surely ok now and chin up:D

Yep, Jenifer. Our lives have quite changed.
We live in now unsafety and unpredictable world.
My Hugarian friend was supposed to go to Tel Aviv in this september, but she must have cancelled. She is very dissapointed now:(
