Visiting the following;

Tower Bridge
HMS Belfast
Tower of London

Considering other places to visit, but limited by budget for transport and we're staying near the Tower.

Wife? Quick work, old boy.

Indeed. Congrats, btw.

Also, speaking of London, I might have an opportunity to study abroad there this summer.

For those of you who care about college football, ESPN removed Navy QB Keenan Reynolds from the Heisman Trophy ballot shortlist despite the fact that he's leading the fan vote and the fact that he fucking deserves the Heisman. Go cast a write-in vote every day and stick it to The Man!

Why'd they do that?

Apparently after losing two games to ranked opponents, the "experts" deem him not worthy of a Heisman.

I've actually become opposed to college athletics, on general principle (aside from things like intramurals and whatnot), recently.

Abolish the NCAA!

We've known each other a good ten years or so, plus her birthday is 15th September.

Added the Cabinet War Rooms and the London Dungeon to the list, central London is looking like where we'll be restricted to (plus we'll be walking everywhere).

Aside from an interception, the loss against Houston was his best passing game of the season and an average rushing game, and the loss against Notre Dame was one of his better rushing games. Plus he only holds the NCAA career record for rushing touchdowns.

Did he play genuinely good games or do the stats just look good? If he was really playing good football and not stat padding, I don't see why he'd be unworthy.

Only ended up doing Tower Bridge and the Tower of London, then only looking at the exterior of HMS Belfast since we'd missed the cutoff for admissions.

GOram, does the RAF museum (or even the IWM) have a Bofors gun on their hands do you know?

The wife's sort of interested in it since her great-grandfather manned one during the Desert War.

The RAF museum does not. It does have a 3.7 inch flak gun, though. IWM London does, and so does HMS Belfast.

I should also say, the RAF museum is a bit of a bitch to get to. Need to get the Central line, Edgware branch, to Colindale. It's bit of a trek, depending on where you're coming from. But it's worth it.

Thought Belfast might have one.

Regardless you know you've seen it all when you've seen a gold Sterling Mk.7 SMG.

Belfast has eight, in double mountings as I recall.

The USS Zumwalt is heading out for sea trials.

The CO's name is Captain James Kirk.

You can't make this shit up.

Despite being out of school for the next 3 weeks, I have little to no free time.

The average high temperature on December 25th around here is 41°F.
The forecast says it's supposed to be 67°F today.

Mele Kalikimaka, everybody!

Excessive quantities of Uni work, lots of rehearsals for some shitty Drama Society performance, a friend hitting rock-bottom and needing to care for her (like, bandage her arm and accompany her on the ambulance), the two of us falling for each other... and starting my first relationship.

The wait is over. They are beginning to return. Tonight, the candle begins to burn. 207.19.

Still lurking.

Just been busy with working two jobs, trying to get an IT course done, driving lessons, various writing projects and preparing for the arrival of my first child in what...month and a half.

Congratulations, man!
(I hear that Tiger is an excellent name for boys, girls, or just anyone in general.)
