Scruit Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 And no, I am not flapping my arms. I'm in cattle class, barely enough room to inhale, never mind actually move appendages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scruit Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 California for a database tech conference. Sitting at the hotel bar right now drinking Guinness in Santa Clara. The guys next to me are British. Keeping my gob shut as I can't be arsed to get into a conversation. Lots of geeks talking about databases and MySQL/percona stuff. And I'm setting here dressed like I just finished fixing a car. Total stealth mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conn-e-rot Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 So do you Brits not like talking to other Brits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 So do you Brits not like talking to other Brits?Depends on my mood. Generally as soon as I open my mouth that is considered an open invitation to ask about where I came from, why I emigrated, etc. even worse from Brits because they tend to feel some kind of kinship with me and think I will talk their ear off all evening. I just got done with 6 hours of flying, 3 hours sitting at airports, I'm supposed to be asleep already, I just want some food, a beer and go to bed. It is easier to stifle the conversation right now than look for awkward excuses later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bambam Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Brits do seem to think they're a bit special and their conversation tends to reflect that attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OsuMj Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Soooo... you were flying west? Technically that would make you slower than all of us who stayed in Ohio... relative to space, and lets face it, that's the most important frame of reference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
