Yes I was also exhausted. There was so much rush inside the tube train that instead of standing fortunately I got seat, and I was just thanking to God for all that. You might have noticed, Mr Badger ?I don't know about Chinu.... I was exhausted afterwards...... It was great.
Anyways, It all is memorable.

Let me tell you..have to google each of those places, except Buck-Palace & Starbucks to know what they are.
Buck-palace is Buckingham palace London, And Starbucks is a cafe near tower-bridge where we had a tea together.
But still I don't know why the cafe-boy was asking both of us our names, Do you know what was the matter, Mr badger ?

Father Heathen.
Well I never did imagine.
The thing is, I had the crazy idea that you lived in Australia. The only Dawny's I ever heard of lived there. If you ever saw Mel Gibson's first 'known' film 'Tim' you could understand better...
I expect that you exchanged pictures before you actually met, etc? I had never met anybody from an internet site or 'pen-pal' type friendship before......

Let me tell you..
.....................Starbucks is a cafe near tower-bridge where we had a tea together.
I had only been into a Starbucks once before in my life, many years ago! On that distant occasion they had been unable to just sell me a White coffee. Impossible! They kept asking me if I wanted skinny this, Moche the other, or Latte that, so I just said 'Look, mate..... just give me a black coffee'. No! They couldn't do that..... more questions. I ended up with one of those Turkish-type coffees in a miniature cup and saucer, strong enough to stand a spoon in. Never went back!
I didn't tell you that, did I?
But it turned out very well during our trip.But still I don't know why the cafe-boy was asking both of us our names, Do you know what was the matter, Mr badger ?
Chinu, my friend...... only the Good Lord on High knows about these things.
It's probably customer-care training gone wrong. In Britain (probably US as well) these staff go on customer-care and service courses which are badly written and very badly delivered. What they end up with is a counter employee who is saying everything that they were told to say (they get checked on by mystery, or 'spy' visitors) but not following through with the body-language and 'non verbal gestures' that show that they really mean it. Does that explain it, Chinu?
Ha ha! My daughter runs/owns a Pilates school in posh Victoria, London, and over the years she (sadly) became a snob, I'm afraid. Years ago I used to meet my son and grandchildren on Deal Pier for breakfast, which used to have a very rough-n-ready cafe at it's seaward end. On one occasion my daughter was there as well...... We ordered our breakfasts and my son ordered three coffees. My daughter called out 'Oh no! I'll have a skinny, Latte , Las Vegas, cafeletto' (or whatever
) ....... the rough old cafe owner just gawped at her, and my son said ,'She wants a white-coffee, mate'. :biglaugh:

Yes..... I noticed.
I never had time to say 'Goodbye' properly, or so I thought.
By the time I had copied the pics from SD-card to my camera, so that I could give the card to you, we raced into West Kensington which was my station to get off'. But I think you understood about all that..
Yes.... I saw you sitting down and looking slightly relieved.
I have seen pictures of Tokyo rush hours, Chinu..... very shocking!!!
Isn't it amazing what people get used to?

Mr badger, sometimes expressions say more than what we want to say. So don't worry I received your "Proper-Goodbye" when I was looking at you outside the tube train
Wasn't that station "Hyde-Park" ?By the time I had copied the pics from SD-card to my camera, so that I could give the card to you, we raced into West Kensington which was my station to get off'. But I think you understood about all that..
Than you must also see the pictures of Delhi-underground (METRO) in India. At some major stations you will find it more rushy than Tokyo.

Good..... Good.Mr badger, sometimes expressions say more than what we want to say. So don't worry I received your "Proper-Goodbye" when I was looking at you outside the tube train
No.... it was not!Wasn't that station "Hyde-Park" ?
We stopped at Hyde-Park Corner, Knightsbridge, and then South Kensington before I could get off. Only South Kensingtom (of those three) could connect me to my Rail Station at Victoria. It seemed a very fast 3-stops to me as well.
Uhhh...... the crushes!Than you must also see the pictures of Delhi-underground (METRO) in India. At some major stations you will find it more rushy than Tokyo.
Well, not boasting or anything...... but.....
Ha!
My ears cannot equalise to varying pressures very easily, and so diving and flying are a problem now.
I used to fly to Belfast and Glasgow a lot to take courses, but I could get away with it if I sucked sweets from take-off all the way through to landing. But the last time was hell......
Sorry, that was a bad joke. I was referring to Jumbo
Don't push it too much and take care of yourself man. We all have our limits.

So you thought I look like my avatar, Why ? What made you ?
Well, because sometimes we pick avatars that represent us in some way.
So why an old man with a long beard when it is nothing like you?
His avatar matches his posts.
It's the proper mental image.
I chose mine for the same reason.

What? Me worry?
Yeah, I represent me
But who's the guy taking the picture?
Maybe Revolt?
That's so sweet of you to think I could successfully operate a camera!
But I've never been to Britainistan.
It wasn't you?
Hmm, who was it then?
Now I'm freaked out... I'll have to change my avatar now!
Edit:
Here, how's that?
