you can approach the speed of light and the rays of light from your blue arse will be red-shifted so it would look like you're a red-arsed fly. That, and approaching the speed of light would cause time-dilation and slow down time for you.

and, conversely, less of them, so that it's Friday sooner.

Had three days off last week, so my inbox had erupted with useful and useless stuff, and the usual slew of moany customers. Plus I'm broke, so as opposed to a 25-minute bus trip, I had a 35-minute walk to and from work.

My rent is due a few days before my salary. I pay by cheque. Often, my landlady took so long to cash the cheque that the money went out after payday, but sometimes, it would be out before. Was never sure how much money I'd have at the end of the month. But fortunately, the end of my post-new-job-spending-spree put an end to my financial uncertainties.

And somehow, it never quite makes it to the end of the month.

Sometimes, I think reality TV is just a cost-cutting measure - you don't have to pay the actors.

Seriously though, it's pointless. Like all reality TV. One of my less entertaining Facebook friends jumped on my back for slagging off X Factor "how can you say such ghastly things, X Factor is my life!" - er, then you need a better one...

How you getting around? When I was there, I went by train. Amtrak is one of America's hidden gems.
( , Mon 24 Aug 2009, 21:06, Reply)

It's the most civilised form of travel there is.
Six of us are going and we'll be getting roomettes (sleeping cars) which entitles you to free meals too.
Dallas is about my favourite American city too but none of the others have ever been there.

I don't think Debbie managed six...although it's a long time since I saw that one.
( , Mon 24 Aug 2009, 21:24, Reply)

Have you been to New Orleans? T'was my favourite city of the whole trip. Everything about it was inspiring, and in the centre, there's what appears to be a party that's been going on forever! The train-journey from Chicago was an experience too!
When I went, I got two tickets that enabled me to travel the entire network in one month (I was there two months). The sleeping cars were extortionately priced, but sleeping on the seats was free. I'm just glad North American seats are much roomier than their European counterparts.
Am tempted to go back just for the California Zephyr.
( , Mon 24 Aug 2009, 21:25, Reply)

When I first went to the States - 14 years ago - I went for three months and did two months on Greyhound, one month on Amtrak.
I can afford to do the sleepers now but yes, you can be quite comfortable in coach.
When you factor in the free meals sleepers are actually quite good value.
I love the Zephyr (did it again last year) and South West Chief.
After next year the only Amtrak train left for me to ride will be the Downeaster - Boston - Portland (Maine).

These long-distance Amtrak trains are pretty lightly populated.

Suddenly Americans are grasping Amtrak to their hearts and most long distance trains are booked solid.
( , Mon 24 Aug 2009, 22:27, Reply)

But at least that could cause them to open up more long-distance trains, and make more of America accessible by train.

Barge is a sort of generic term for a narrowboat, although you can get broadbeam boats - they're less versatile.
£15k seems to be a good thumbnail for a 40/42 footer at the moment.

But I've been sort of looking at moorings (there's a good mooring about a mile from my home) and sort of thinking about how easy it would be for me to put the money together in a couple of years.

And find Leeds and Bradford - I live halfway between the two.
As I've posted below, you can get a long way on the UK canal network.

They don't go very fast but a lot of the UK canal network is interlinked so with tenacity and patience I could get to an awful lot of places eventually.
