9. No sympathy here
You're in London (a place I've always wanted to visit) not stuck in Texas, and you're in a British library, no doubt surrounded by beautiful architecture with an abundance of reading material at your fingertips. Hmmmm....yep, no sympathy here.:P

20. are you in THE British Library, the classic one?
wow. Finish your research for the day and go to a pub. What is the quote, "if a man is tired of London, he is tired of life." Go do something fun, GO! If I were in London, I would be running around like a maniac going to all those cool antique stalls, seeing architecture and museums, drinking ales you can't get here. Go to the British museum! GO, SCOOT!

24. If you have the ability... do it!!
London is a great city. Especially if you hook up with cool locals.

Plus you are one cheap easyJet flight (their cleaner/more efficient version of Southwest Air) from many cities in Europe. :-)

23. Had a blast in London last week!! Get out of the library!!
:-)

Be happy that you can get real news (BBC) and be around people who are genuinely informed.

There are pleny of SUVs around, you just have to be wealthy to drive them there.
