Most Obscure Location I've Logged into UT From

Re: Most obscure Location

Opinions have (or ought to have) contexts, too. That's why said jury would drop their jaws in horror at them message-boarding Sunday-painter urbanist heathens who'd suggest that removing the NPS walkways is a good thing. (note: that dart isn't AP-specific).

Any Joe Schmuck can have an opinion, but understand thy broader context before spewing with thy tin ear...

Well too frickin' bad for them. If they erect a toilet in public space we all have to live with it, don't we? It's the least they can expect.

Yes, and remember that asides such as "vaginaphobic" are, shall we say, without any context (or merit) when assessing the validity of opinions.

As are comic book covers and the like.

Re: Most obscure Location

Or this?

Look at it this way, you got to know how to "respect" a context in order to creatively disrespect/fold/spindle/mutilate it...

So says you.

Probably the most obsure, but I think Melbourne, Australia (Tayser) is farther to Toronto than Egypt, distance wise at least.

In 2003, I sought updates on skyscrapers from UT while enjoying an internet coffee shop in Amsterdam, after having rolled a skyscraper for myself. :hat

^ Ditto. More than once.

Most "obscure": Dakar, Senegal; Caye Caulker, Belize; San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas; Hinton, Appalachia.

Same here.

Meanwhile, over here in Fakenham, I note that nothing has changed since April - except the big new Asda supermarket has opened!

 

[building babel]

Oops! Tesco.

 

[andreapalladio]

Ooh, Tesco.

 

[cdl42]

Had a fun little bitchfest about Tesco with a couple English tourists yesterday... "Tesco's is hell" was the exact quote, I believe. Agreement all around that Sainbury's is far superior.

And thanks to this forum I was able to join in the conversation when another couple made a joke involving Richard Bradshaw. Unfortunately, I didn't seem to be "the next generation of Opera-lover" they were hoping for.

 

[andreapalladio]

Some years back, some comedian (Eddie Izzard?) had a great Essex Girl routine which included the punch line "Oi, m'wa'er broke a' Tescos".

 

[building babel]

TV over here seems geared to that very crowd. Last night there was a show called "Ladettes to Ladies" ... or something ... about a selection of drunken, foul mouthed, slutty babes who had to endure a snotty finishing school so they could become ski chalet girls in the Alps. One by one they were voted out of the school. We followed their dreary adventures as they tried to cook for, amuse, and fake their way through life serving the equally ridiculous nerdy, chinless, upper class twitty males at the chalet. So much for the reputation of great British television.

 

[andreapalladio]

Ah, British reality shows. They make the American ones look like Proust in comparison.
