A wild Arbalest heads to America

Is that actually legal? I think it's just accepted practice because of the size of the ******* plastic drink containers you get.

I think its as legal as buying a subway drinking cup... filling it up in subway, leaving the shop and then popping back in an hour later for a top up.

Or my free glass trick with a beer in nandos that i then use as a refillable glass rather than the intended beer glass.

But still..... if things like this have a loophole, why the hell not use it? :p
 
Maxon: Twinkies, Butter fingers, check. Moutain dew, probably not. Doubt i'll be allowed to take it past security. I have seen Mountain dew in Asda, pretty sure of it too, if not, i'm sure one of the stores will have it, and most probably one of the newsagents nearer the centre. I've only ever seen the energy drink though.

@Ryo: I'm gonna be here every now and then(like now, Hai from the US), so no, you don't have the power. ;p
 
Enjoy yourself Arby. Have been to the States twice myself and love it there. As for airport security, leaving Britain (even as a British Citizen) is a far more gruelling experience than entering America. Last time I chatted to the customs guy about US civil war history. That seemed to go down well.

You will be surprised by how genuinely friendly people are, and how cheap everything is.

Oh yeah, everything is cheap so far, and twice the size as well. Got me a bag of doritos(as an example) packed to the brim, far cheaper than you'd get at home. Shame i can't bring drinks back, i'd take 12 packs of cans back with me for the price they go at =/

Security for us when we got to Newark was very iffy, almost as if they couldn't be arsed. could have just been the day mind you.

Perhaps they're telling you that no terrorist would stoop as low as to disguise themselves as a Scotsman? :p

Oh I'll remember that. You've made The List. :twisted:
 
Back in St Louis from my few days in Illinois, got myself an interesting picture for you all, so i shall just leave this here....

"Christian Disposal"?

Finally. It's about time the Yanks did something about that particular problem of theirs.

Funnily enough, there was a church on one side of it and a smoked meats factory to the other side of it. So you can guess my reaction to it at the time.
 
@Mangaman: The trip was good, and despite going into a more rural area of America, was still filled with a lot to see. The main thing you would notice though, is how close families are here compared to back in the UK. It's not a bad thing mind you, but it does take a bit of getting used to.

Other wee sites of notice. Well, there was only one other thing worth capturing picture wise, and that was the worlds smallest town hall:
