  1. drew on britian’s “Bicycles in Buffalo” The only time bikes should be on sidewalks is when they are being walked. Bikers should follow all the same rules cars follow.
  2. jenks on britian’s “Bicycles in Buffalo” am i the only one who's mom always said "ride right, walk left"? walk against traffic, but ride with? I hate when bikes want to have their cake and eat it too. Either be like a pedestrian and cross at lights like they do- and ride on the s…
  3. leetee on britian’s “Bicycles in Buffalo” First of all, i want to say that i am glad you were able to avoid an accident. For everyone's sake, i am glad no one got hurt. I also want to say that i totally understand your frustration -- particularly with that specific incident. I ass…
  4. james on britian’s “Bicycles in Buffalo” I can understand why a cyclist would drive against traffic. It is a lot easier to see cars comming and what not. But on a one way road? That is just stupid. And driving through a junction? IF you did hit them that would be two less idiot c…
  5. metalpeter on britian’s “Bicycles in Buffalo” This is going to sound harsh cause it is. What would happen is you would have two dead or really messed up bike riders. Not that I want anyone to get hurt but they would have gotten what they deserve. I will use my self as an example. I ha…
  6. joshua on britian’s “I'm a grandad!” Congrats =)
  7. jason on britian’s “I'm a grandad!” Congratulations, Grampa!
  8. mrmike on britian’s “I'm a grandad!” congrats, now you have a kid you can return after a few hours
  9. leetee on britian’s “I'm a grandad!” Congrats to Eve... and to you, Gramps!
  10. leetee on britian’s “the interwebs...” Maybe we should buy Time Warner a long narrow scrubbie brush so they can get everything cleaned out sooner.
  11. leetee on britian’s “Ghosties and ghoulies” I so would have gone up in that attic... even though the one light was burned out... and it was pitch black up there... Hmm... OK, maybe i wouldn't have. I can't beleive i was freaked out. You SURE it wasn't just an excuse so you could qui…
  12. britian on britian’s “Ghosties and ghoulies” We're still sorting. There's a lot of stuff in this one. But mainly it's just the usual estate sale stuff. Maybe a bit more tavern related stuff here actually, and the old man who lived here liked to tinker with old TV sets and lawn mowers…
  13. paul on britian’s “Ghosties and ghoulies” WHat kind of stuff are you selling at the estate sale?
  14. uncutsaniflush on britian’s “Hello world...” welcome, e:britian I was born old so I never worried about being an old man. Ironically enough, in our family birthdays were no big deal. But happy birthday anyway.
  15. theecarey on britian’s “beer...” Just think how wonderful a pint of Black Sheep will taste after almost two decades since the last drop was savored? hmmmm? Gosh, you have me salivating! e:leetee has sound reasoning. Listen to her. haha :)
  16. leetee on britian’s “beer...” Go, damnit! Here's the thinking i did in the shower just now (ok, i admit it, some of my best thoughts have come to me in the shower). If the Yorkshire bash is still on the weekend of the 5th and 6th of May, spend it in Rochester! Consider…
  17. jenks on britian’s “beer...” ohhh... it sounds like you have to go. Maybe you can find someone willing to drive? I've done rochester for dinner before... it's a bit of a hike, but not THAT bad...
  18. metalpeter on britian’s “Hello world...” welcome to the site I hope you like it and stick around. I also wanted to say that you can never really be sure if your words will affect someones life or not in a good or bad way. You may mention some thing you are interested in that remi…
  19. leetee on britian’s “Hello world...” Welcome to e:strip, e:Britian! Nice of you to join us.

  1. britian on news’s “The Buffalo Blogosphere” Sorry Paul. I thought the comments I made (the ones LeeTee mentioned) were polite and helpful. It was not my intention to offend you or the work you have done with this site. I read your news item and thought you were asking for ideas to g…
  2. britian on news’s “The Buffalo Blogosphere” When I come to estrip all I see are responses to other peoples blogs, and I have to mess around to find the original message. What I would prefer would be to see either the latest blog complete on the first screen I see, or a list of the m…
  3. britian on leetee’s “Mission... Half Done” I'm definitely with you on the whole 'flying stinging things' thing. I once was stung on the tummy by a wasp - I killed the little bugger, but my tummy swelled up like a balloon and it hurt a LOT!
  4. britian on leetee’s “Brain Dead” Coffee is your friend Lee.....
  5. britian on leetee’s “The Good The Bad and The Ugly” If the sale is being run by a business who is registered as a vendor for New York State sales tax purposes you will have to pay sales tax.
  6. britian on mrmike’s “I'm having a hard time letting go” Strewth!!! Sounds like he deserves a good thrashing!!! Honestly, people like that should never be allowed to work with children. Stuff like that has the potential to scar someone for life. I was very happy to read of your daughter's respon…
  7. britian on leetee’s “Wellie Funeral *sob*” Why not exhume them and we can give it a try? We'll just have to ask the big chap how best to describe them.
  8. britian on leetee’s “Wellie Funeral *sob*” Leeeeeee!!!!! Nooooooooo!!! I know someone who'd sell those wellies on eBay - actually you know him too.
  9. britian on leetee’s “Happy Birthday!!!” Thank you for the birthday wishes :o) I think being 50 suits me.
