read the more you think that there's no there there. When my folks
arrived over here they barely brought any carryon luggage because they

carryons in the UK. Look for a big pile of abandoned video cameras in
Hyde Park stacked up like empties after a student's lease-breaking party.
The first person to really underscore the fact that this has to come to
an end was Wonkette
