so eventually, we turn onto holloway road, and the sat nav thing says "in 300 yards you will have reached your destination"
i say, keep going another half mile or so, its not yet
he continues to slow down
i say, take a left after that pub, pointing, to the pub
he brings the car to a halt
"you have reached your destination" says the machine
"its not here, its in about another 300 yards, then a left", i tell him
he looks at me, stunned
"i dont live here! keep going!"
he looks increduluous, but slowly starts the car up again, he doesnt know whats happening now, he doenst know what to do. we carry on another few 100 yards, i tell him to take a left, which he does. hes looking worried now, another 50 yards down my street, and i tell him to stop
he looks at me, confused. i give him the money, get out the car, and walk to my door. as i enter my house, i turn around. he is looking at me, still increduluous. it is almost as if he is saying "you dont live here, the machine said so".
i hate these things, they tell taxi drivers to take longer more irritating routes as well

I never give taxi drivers an address. I say "go down X Rd and turn left at Blah st", and when we get that far I just say "left... now right here... ok here's fine". I ususuall stop across the rd and up a bit from my actual house. I dont know why but I dont like the idea of tacksi drivers knowing which flat I'm going into.

Heh, Glasgow has more tanning salons per head of population than any other city in the UK. We don't need no sun.

IIRC, Glasgow was, co-incidentally, where Bato was posting from!

^^ remarkable article.
britishes guys have hang-ups about shagging someone who... writes in great detail about her sex-life. the swine. it's like the goddamn 19th century here, honestly.
i bet dorothy parker wished she'd thought of the "sex-bloggers' monthly at-home" first: it will surely eclipse anything she ever achieved.

eventually I ended up bedding a series of Z-list (OK, perhaps M-list) celebrities who approached me through the blog and who I knew wouldn't spill the beans, due to our shared desire for privacy. Hotels were obtained, condoms procured, and an author, a rock star and a TV personality were all ticked off my nonexistent list

it's kind of funny that her generalizations about british men's reactions struck me as something to be expected in the us too...but it turned out she wasn't comparing to the us. just new york, where "everyone is a sex columnist," unlike anywhere i've ever lived.
on an unrelated note, speaking of britishes, i am going to england for ten days in a week! yay!
