Default Richard goes to...

Richard goes to Europe!

Okay, Richard has decided to take me to Europe tonight. I squeezed his hand and he said, "You know honey, why don't you just relax and let me take you out to dinner." Where's a good spot for us to pop in and say hello?

Richard has several more locations he is taking me. I'll post them as we go.



[edit - just in case there is really a Richard Mentock] 8-[

Default I'M JUST HAVING FUN!

Our first stop will be the United Kingdom and then on we go... After squeezing his hand, Richard said, "The ball game really isn't that important." He'd rather spend time with me, tonight. What a charmer. What ball game?

My blow dryer prong doesn't seem to fit into this hotel's outlet. Richard went to get me a conversion plug. I don't know if the conversion plug will change voltage. I understand the voltage and hertz is 230v / 240v & 50 Hz (Great Britain). Richard knows more about that than I do.

Rich (mind if I call him Rick?) has nice hair though. It's shiny.

You make a lovely couple. Couple of what's, I don't know.

I didn't realize that some restaurants include a service charge on the bill. We tipped 10% anyways, because it just doesn't feel right not to tip. :wink:

Hello, Rich!

We haven't left, yet. Stonehenge was awesome! A must see while in the UK. Richard has a thing for rocks.

Blarney Stone is an actual stone people kiss. ops:

Quote:
There is a stone there,
That whoever kisses,
Oh, he never misses
To grow eloquent.
“Tis he may clamber
To a lady’s chamber,
Or become a member
Of Parliament.


This is not Richard, we went after this lovely couple. Richard didn’t want his photo displayed on the BABB, he said he was having a bad hair day. :wink:

Wow, you guys sure are zipping around the Isles! Does Richard own, or have access to, a corporate jet?

Do you know Richard? He time travels as a hobby. We do something similar to wormhole travel. This is the first time he has included me. I can't get happy with the voltage & hertz conversion, though. :-?

Is that any better for the environment than corporate jets? Because it doesn't sound like it...

You know, I'm not sure how it works. I wish Richard wouldn't be so shy about wormholes and time travel, but apparently, he is. I don't think it's bad, unless, you are in a 5 foot radius of our actual transport. So far, no one's wandered into the radius.
