I'd like to share a pic of a bridge which is near where I live,I like its style at night: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octavio_Frias_de_Oliveira_bridge But I won't miss being stuck in such a thing like this,it's part of living in Sao Paulo: http://area3.updateordie.com/files/2009/07/transito1.jpg Believe me,sometimes we have more than 200km of traffic jams around the city...cool,isn't it? -------------- "But it's always the outsider, the black sheep, that becomes the blockbuster." - Mike Oldfield, 2014 "I remember feeling that I'd been judged unfairly and that I was going to prove them wrong." - Peter Davison, 2011 Back to top

I edited the Birmingham  quote coz it was a silly comment... it's just that I spend a few hours a week trying to get past it on the M6/M5 junction, so I hate it! Back to top

We had a mild September but has now turned chillier and windy with rainy spells. We get a lot of weather and we like to talk about it a lot.

olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: Oct. 03 2009, 17:40 I guess you'll be just a few hours away from some of us when you get to read this Tati - I hope the flight was good. But what better time to hold a small Oldfield meet? Colchester isn't that bad a place.

Scatterplot Group: Members Posts: 1980 Joined: Dec. 2007 Posted: Oct. 04 2009, 01:25 Kinda wish I was going too. Somehow I always felt I would have been happy in England. The vast majority of my heroes come from there(I think it's in my DNA). Mostly music, but actors as well. I never really got into the humor or TV there tho. "All Creatures Great and Small" I enjoyed a lot since I read the James Herriot books and the show characterized everyone very well. And then there's the beer, the pubs, the women..... I wonder how a transplanted American would fit in, in London say. They sure loved Jimi Hendix when Chas Chandler took him there in 1967. Oh well, I'll never know as I can't fly. Have fun Tati. Maybe I'll check out Brazil. I can get there on foot. -------------- We raise our voices in the night Crying to heaven And will our voices be heard Or will they break Like the wind Back to top

Tati The Sentinel Group: Members Posts: 3360 Joined: Feb. 2002 Posted: Oct. 05 2009, 10:49 Hello back,and now settled down in England,yippie \o/ My trip was fine,even after spending almost 11 hours inside an airplane,and then waiting for my transfer to Essex Uni. My room at the Uni desperately needs tons of blu-tac to fix my MO posters on the wall   At the moment,I'm in London doing a few things,and then on Wednesday I'm going to have proper internet connection in my room,so things would be much easier for me to attend an Oldfield fan meeting around! ...and I can't wait to drive the other way round,my driver's license from Brazil is fine to use here,soo... -------------- "But it's always the outsider, the black sheep, that becomes the blockbuster." - Mike Oldfield, 2014 "I remember feeling that I'd been judged unfairly and that I was going to prove them wrong." - Peter Davison, 2011 Back to top

Scatterplot Group: Members Posts: 1980 Joined: Dec. 2007 Posted: Oct. 05 2009, 11:39 Well, while I was contemplating the outcome of your trip I got on Facebook. Found this place called Yoville. I've been hustling people on the street at rock/paper/scissors. I hustled enough passers-by to buy a blue chair to put by my bed. Kewl huh? I didn't think so.
