Default Hello London! Note to self: this ain't Texas!

Well guys, I've only been here a few hours but already set a record: Largest lifetime Taxi fare from any airport - $170.

And yes its cold and wet but not much different than good ole Texas winter rodeo weather.

OK, off to the gaming show. SBR has a big booth there with a couple of ...errr "attractions". Does SBR really need these super models??? I think the SBRLines would attract them or maybe just the chnace to meet me .

I've been at the show all day, but I haven't seen your booth...where did you have it?

I've seen theattractions, though

Going back to Italy now, so I won't be able to access the site tomorrow...

OK, I'll get some pics.

There are enough slot machines in here to drive a man to drinking and I'm including the deceased. fvck! This might as well be a slot machine convention but a lot of cool people here.

There is a better show in Costa Rica on Apr 9 that won't have all these land based 3 pc suit morons trying to sell their slot machines.

You probably aren't the only one that missed the booth Pier0.

Here is a list of exhibitors, and I'm not seeing SBR on it.

Must be some more of that Kickass Tejas BBQ smoke being blown you know where.

Just to clarify, we're not interested in pictures of you. We're not interested in pictures of the SBR stand. We want tittie pics.

Sure, I'm at Churchill Hyatt. Give me a call. 44 20 7486 5800.

The show wraps up tomorrow and then the ball at night which I'm trying to get out of. So if any of you guys want this American texan to give you Brits a lesson in beer drinking you know where to find me .

I have. I will say its a bit formal here. Even the cigar bar at the Hyatt is a coat and tie gig. I'm thinking wtf? why are all these blokes siting around like they are in church? Then I go strutting by in my Tommy Bahama shirt and Dockers and they have that look like they just got a glimpse of a turd in the punch bowl.

Supposed to snow late tonight...that would be cool.

John, I just relocated back to Oklahoma thus I can relate to how it gets a bit nipply at 'em 'ere winter rodeos. Especially when chasing that damn greased pig... Anyhow, hope you had the sense to pack an extra set of long johns for your trip over that big lake...

On a side note is there any truth to rumor that you're still trying to get 'em to add Tractor Pulls and Demolition Derbies odds to the SBR Lines? Against 'em squares, who have trouble figuring out their moneyline bets with several missin' toes and fingers, those there bets are usually some pretty easy pickin's... but once the books start pulling back your limits it's a must to shop around a wee bit...

Damn, was at ICE myself, had no idea SBR had a stall, and I looked through the list pretty carefully...

Yea it was cold. Got out of the city and spent a few days in Oxford. Had me a proper lunch at Brown's and talked about West Ham drawing Bolton in what I gather will be a good one although Bolton will be tough to beat at the Reebok.

My partner over there showed me his new Porsche and how to avoid the speeding cameras. How can any red blooded male not really enjoy Oxford?
