The Grand Canyon is an OK tourist spot, but Alcatraz is one you'll never forget.

Welcome back - I mean... back there but here.

snapple tea?, never heard of it...

over here you can get hundreds of varieties of tea, just depends on your taste. Its best served hot with milk and sugar. None of that cold crap in bottles with lemon...

the Grand Canyon is OK?...i think youve grown too used to it.

I'll be in SF next summer and i'll be sure to visit Alcatraz when i am there...(i'll practice my sprinting and political acumen)

Scotland does have a "plethora" of hills/mountains so it is a good training ground, no

Ullrich made it to the podium this year. He was, I believe riding a Giant. I sell Giant's.

Snapple, I believe, was the first brewed, readily available, iced tea in America.
I like it. You can taste the diff. between "brewed" & "instant" tea's. Do you drink "iced" tea over there It gets "bloody hot" over here so, thats the way most like it prepared.

we get Lipton and Nestle both in powder and bottled form. My wife and daugter loves the Lipton Lemon Ice Tea.

I still cant get into drinking cold tea.

I dont know if they are brewed or instant. The bottles dont specify.

I find that cold beer works well as a tanine substitute. When it comes to beer, I prefer mine brewed, but served instantly.

It's my turn, now. I'm heading down to Australia for a couple of weeks to catch up with my family. Keep sipping those Snapples, while I knock back a few icey cold India Pale Ales. This will be my first experience of winter-ish weather in about 5 years (last time was a cold snap at a shipyard in Piraeus).
I hope there's plenty more for me to disagree with when I get back.

What are the odds on findings something to disagree about in this forum.
As far as beer served instantly,well thats why I keep my wife in training.
I would not want her to get into a slow serving pattern.

Mine, too. However, as she would have to fly a few thousand miles in order to serve said beer, there is (1) a very real chance of the beer getting to ambient temperature before it is served and (2) an equally real chance of me being ready for another before she can make the return trip. In light of this unfortunate set of circumstances, she is temporarily stood down on beer-serving duty (although I expect to have service fully re-instated during my Tour of Duty down in Aussie - Inspections will be made) and I have submitted myself to a regime of great selfless sacrifice by getting my own beer in the interim (or going to bars where wife-substitutes perform the expediting of ales to a satisfactory level).

You would think that under such hardships the wife would allow some latitude such as an intership program that would support the pursuit of the "home away from home" atmosphere.
18 - 22 year old move quickly.
