Help me, /OT Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.
So for the last few nights I've been plagued by horribly disturbing dreams, and woken up feeling completely washed out and shattered.

What's going on? What can I do about it?

Alt: I don't know. I'm too tired. What's the best thing to do in Britain when it's sunny?

I suppose asking Mr B3th to send you off to a deep sleep with a massage or suchlike is out of the question

Do you know, I once did something similar at school.
The day before my GCSE French oral exam, I was going over possible questions, and I knew they would probably ask about the school uniform, so I was trying to revise. I realised I couldn't for the life of me remember the word for 'tights', and I went to sleep fretting about it. The next mnorning I woke up and it was the first word that popped into my mind.

Again, totally useless information.

What sort of age group are they? What kind of stuff are they into (in general)?
Things I'd love to do if I was traveling to london for a weekend, and don't get to go there very often
- Borough Market
- Harrods (and Hamleys if there are kids involved)
- Catching a theater show
- Seeing Buckingham Palace, maybe a picnick in Green Park... essspesh if they're having an open day.
- Portrat Gallery.
- One of the finer resturants, if money isn't an issue then somewhere owned by Ramsey Holdings. I *think* Ken Holme has a resturnat in london, if he has, then that'll be my first choice.
- Camden Market would be an eye-opener.

One's in her 40s, the other's mid 60s.
Neither has been to England before, and they will want to see the typical stuff. I'm thinking a duck boat tour, or one of those hop on hop off buses. You're right about Harrods. That will have to be on the list. They might want to go on the eye too, though I haven't looked into prices on that one.

Cool, if catching a show is on the cards (and it's not silly money if you don't mind what you see... on the day you just ask them what hasn't sold well and you'll be given a few. General rule of thumb is that if it's in the area, it'll be alright at worst
) then that'll be a good one to do. I'm not to sure about the duck-boat thing, but you can get on Transport For London a boat-ride that'll take you up'n'down the thames (well, part of it). If they're into culture, take a look at what's going on in the SouthBank, there is normally something good and it's right close to other things too.

Amazing lush boutiques and resturants, stunning parks and views, one of the roads there has a starting price of about £20m and goes all the way up as high as you can think. It's a georgous area, it's almost the equivilient to having a house overlooking Central Park only in london instead of new york.

I think, lusty excluding, if there is any life on here that I wouldn't want to have for my own, it would be Montys.
It's not really that I think it's a terrible existance, that's irrelivent... it's that he does.

If there is anyone else's life on here who I _would_ want, aside Field Ping Pong Boy, it'll be yours.

But in general, I think I'll keep to my own life, I wouldn't want to inflict it on someone else... on here. If we're not including people on here, then I'll go with swapping out with Will Smith.

If you swapped with Will Smith
you'd have to be friends with Tom Cruise and David Beckham, and put up with two insufferably precocious kids.

But there would be the whole 'hot wife' thing, though. And there may be wife-swap parties with Tom Cruise...

Yeah', and I'm not sure if I would have to become a scientologist.
It really annoyes me, scientology, because it makes me think of a relgiion based around science, when they're more based on what appears to be homeopathic principles.

it's from Beyond the Valley of the Dolls

She was living in a single room with three other individuals. One of them was a male, and the other two, well the other two were females. God only knows what they were up to in there... and furthermore, Susan, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to learn that all four of them habitually smoked marijuana cigarettes... reefers.

I honestly don't think I would even recognise the smell if I did come across it.
I've never smoked it, and wasn't really cool enough to be offered it as a kid. I'd probably assume it was pot pourri or something.

This worries me
I have noticed several times when I am sitting on my back doorstep enjoying a smoke, that my neighbours back door will suddenly slam shut. I guess I am making their kitchen stink. They've never mentioned anything, mind.

I don't think they care though, even if they can smell it.

I haven't mentioned it to my neighbours, but it stinks and it is annoying.
It's a sensitive subject, because despite how chilled someone might be in their attitude towards it, it's illegal and people get uncomfortable discussing it.
I, and maybe yours and tangedupinblue's neighbours would rather you used common sense and courtesy and contained the stench in your own bleeding house.

Your situation is somewhat different though. Not shutting the door is just plain rude.

Their front door is closed
but the living room door where they're smoking it must be open, hence it comes out into their hall and under their front door.

Stupid laws spoiling my fun
Smoking in the house is not an option as I've got a kid (plus it stinks).
I have started attempting common sense and courtesy by lurking at the bottom of the garden instead, but I'd prefer to be able to sit on the doorstep and listen to the radio at the same time.
