| That is so lame. I love how 4 hours is now considered an extended set, when that used to be the norm, or bare minimum. |

| I'm trying to be a good boy tonight, but I've decided it after a few beers at the pub. Checking out Dubfire tonight for what they're promoting as an extended set. Will get four if I'm lucky lol. Not a huge fan of the layout of the venue (good sound though) either. I'm hoping he brings out a cool crowd to make up for it. Have never heard him play live and always wanted to. Fingers crossed. |

Just found out he's only playing for 90 minutes. bag promoters. I'm not writing my weekend off for an hour and a half. |
Are you still going to go, just not go as hard at it?
I'm still annoyed about the time he was playing less than a kilometer from my flat and I discovered it the next morning :( |

Yeah, I'll go, but I'm not really in the mood at the moment. Just found out a friend-half- friend is going who's a bit of a gobe. One of those tedious people who just wise cracks constantly, mainly for his own entertainment, bulldozing over normal conversation. |

I love live comedy. I will never go to NYC without hitting up The Comedy Cellar for some lulz. In the summer Judd Apatow did a surprise set, totally testing some writing for a project. Was awesome! |
Yea, I'm curious to see how comedians work material in a smaller club. This will be my first time checking it out in that context. I was never a fan of British humo(u)r, but it's grown on me. Hopefully I don't feel a huge disconnect tomorrow and understand almost everything lol. |

Hopefully it won't rain too much this weekend, although we can use some rain.
Football match with the boys tomorrow, visiting parents as friends had to cancel a visit.
When it's dry we will visit "75 years of liberty – Belgium Remembers", an U.S. Army tent camp just across the border near Maastricht. |

How long you been living in London? I've been there twice, staying around 2 weeks each leg. City is pricey as . We always get the Oyster card first thing in order to get around at a reasonable cost and ease, otherwise cab rates would be $1000 a trip :mad: |

For a little more than two years.
The cost of black cabs is borderline criminal. But they have helped me out a few times in a pinch. London is pricey, but so is New York, Los Angeles, etc. Florida is dirt cheap, and you get what you pay for. We live in a really nice area, along the river, close to the center yet far enough to enjoy a little peace and quiet. Not complaining. London has become a home I've slowly fallen in love with. And I feel that a little more every time I land at Gatwick from a trip abroad. |

| Oh, come on, they're not that expensive. I took two yesterday; £10 each way, that's the equivalent of 4-5 pints. |

| Are cabs still popular over there? The taxi industry in Australia is failing badly since Uber et al. turned up several years ago. It's kind of a shame for the drivers, and particularly for the cab owners. A taxi license used to be seen as an investment, and were worth over half a million dollars. Suddenly, they're not worth . |
