What is the point of a geographical specific English speaking Mac news site?

Well, I had a great time! The trip cost its fair share, but it was still amazing to check out all of those castles, roman ruins, cathedrals, and learn so much about our history.
I do have some comments for the Brits though...
Firstly, no offense, but you guys suck at circuses. I frankly don't think that you guys have an understanding of what having a circus really means. Circuses involve bearded ladies, bears in tu tus, and having animals. I went to both Finsbury Circus and Piccadly Circus a couple of times, and all I saw were a bunch of seagulls. Close to Finsbury we found an old building that had this stone carving of a crab carved above the arched doorway. If you guys were to at least move that crab to the circus, at least this would be a little less of an epic fail if you ignored the fact that it was only stone, and you usually don't find crabs in circuses, but at least you'd have an animal there.
Second, on the train ride out to Edinbourgh we saw all of these sheep with red butts. Why do you guys paint colours on the butts of sheep? That was just weird.
In Canterbury we also saw this moonwalking sandwich, I saw this guy yell at a dog in the Thames in London, and my wife tried sheep testicles (they taste sort of like tofu).
I also noticed that the Brits like to emulate American culture. Pick up a copy of the London Paper and there are always stories about Paris Hilton all over the front page, Britney Spears, and even Obama... What somebody didn't figure out was that copying our stock market crash wasn't really a good idea. Who thought of copying us there?
I still hear that recording of that guy in the Tube telling me to mind the gap. I wish that would go away.
I tried my hardest to find Doofy while I was there. We agreed ahead of time that he would be wearing a purple shirt. He warned me that he would be in the southwest part (the Cotswalds?) but even there the people that were wearing purple shirts there didn't like being asked if they were Doofy. That was a bit of an expensive trip solely for looking for Doofy, although sort of like a Where's Waldo game, except Doofy was Waldo (and for all we know his real name could actually be Waldo). That was fun, but a little disappointing.

It's so we know which ones are married and which ones are available.

Oh, I just assumed that the flirtatious ones were the ones that were available...

They're not painted; they're sore.

Better than beating their women into submission, I suppose.
