LMAO! I use to live one block from there too!! It used to be a seriously overpriced yuppie restaurant where $50.00 bought you an entree that wouldn't feed a bird! Little wonder it's selling ice cream! I'll stop by next time I'd down that way which is really quite often.

Well the prices are way cheaper than that now ( well as of 2 years ago) and the ice cream was to die for. They did a mean burger also if you feel the need. I loved Philly and the friendly people I met there. I loved wandering around the city centre tourist spots, shopping Malls and especially the Reading Terminal Market. The cheesecake and the freshly squeezed Orange juice was to die for, and a great place to listen to the guy play the piano by the open tables, while watching the people go by. I don't remember ever feeling happier in a place away from the UK. Philadelphia will always hold a place in my heart along with the Eagles. I have followed them since the UK started showing American Football on the tv many years ago and seeing them in the flesh was a dream come true. This season promises much and I hope they fullfil their dreams and lift the trophy at the superbowl final in Florida in 150 days time. I can live in hope.

@ gerry
Okey dokey will look there mate.
Meantime I would like to bitch about the old time classic "The British Weather", Why is it that as soon as you pack away the summer shorts and Tshirts after your holiday and get out the sweats and jeans ready for the wet n windy weather at hand does the weather throw a spanner in the works and the have the sun beat down and fry your over dressed arse? Its as hot today here as it has been in weeks and I feel like a mangrove swamp. Roll on home time and I can go home, shower and retire to the garden with a cold beer.

a little bitch with a smile
Paris Hilton Arrested, Charged With DUI
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Paris Hilton was arrested early Thursday for investigation of driving under the influence after she was spotted in Hollywood "driving erratically," police said.
Hilton was arrested shortly before 12:30 a.m., said police Officer I. Isabella.
"The officers observed that Hilton exhibited the symptoms of intoxication. A field sobriety test was conducted at scene, and the officers determined she was driving under the influence," Isabella said, reading from a police statement. He said officers stopped Hilton because she was "driving erratically."
Hilton, 25, was booked on suspicion of misdemeanor DUI and released on her own recognizance, he said.
Her spokesman, Elliot Mintz, confirmed the arrest and said she had the minimum blood-alchohol level to warrant an arrest. The legal limit in California is 0.08.
"She's absolutely fine," Mintz said. "She didn't appear in the least bit to be intoxicated."
At the time of her arrest, Hilton was driving home in her Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren from a charity event where she had one drink,???????????????

I know that one of the Gabour sisters married Hilton way back when. Paris Hilton MUST be related to them ... she looks just like them and has the same attitude lol! (I'm sure our youngsters don't have a clue who the Gabour sisters are but like Paris Hilton, lets just say the were famous for the sake of being famous and not because of any particular talent lol!)

rebates were always my bitch
Rhode Island passes law for instant honoring of rebates
Posted by Dan Bell on 07 September 2006 - 18:58 - Source: Hot Deals
k9cop used our news submit to tell us about this wonderful story from Hot Deals Club! I don't know about you, but I cannot stand rebates and avoid them. Most of the time I can get a similar deal by using the Internet and doing a bit of research. This rebate concept all started, to the best of my recollection, during the Carter administration. There was quite a depressed economy at that time and he devised stimulus plan that included among other things, a $50 tax rebate for everyone. Needless to say, this was quite warmly received by the lowly serfs toiling in the trenches. Unfortunately, the lawmakers were not so impressed with the idea, infact, I can't remember if I ever got that rebate. At any rate, this is the first I ever hear the word rebate, but I have been hearing it ever since.
Not long after that, the retail industry keyed on this positive feeling and began a similar program. It's really a great idea, but like many things, over time, it became less than it once was. In todays marketplace, there is discontent regarding rebate offers, as the feeling is, that if there is any way in heck to avoid honoring the deal, the consumer will be left holding the wrong end of the proverbial stick.
This must be more than just conjecture, or prejudice, as it appears in our tiniest state, they have taken a giant leap for the consumer.
According to news articles, a new law in Rhode Island requires stores to give rebates instantly. If a store advertises a price which requires a rebate to achieve the price, the store is required to honor the rebate amount at the register even if the rebate is handled by the manufacturer.
That means any in-store, print, or media advertisements which show an after-rebate price, they are required to honor the after-rebate price during checkout. If a store omits the existence of a manufacturer rebate while advertising products, then the store would not be responsible to honor the rebate. (thanks, Felix) Hats off to Rhode Island lawmakers.
Every year, attorney general offices in every US state receive complaints totaling millions of dollars of unpaid promised rebates. Although the most common reason for unpaid rebates is customers forgetting to mail in a rebate form, often rebates go unpaid because of confusing instructions, incomplete forms, or the rebate company loses the paperwork.
Apparently, this law went into effect last July 3, and in the meantime, even caused a rush to stores for free Pepsi! Until my state can offer instant honoring of rebates, I will continue shopping online. For good deals on items of interest for CD Freaks, be sure to visit our Bargain Basement Forum. There, you can often find great deals on drives, media, etc., no matter what part of the world you live in. Also, feel free to pass along any bargains you find!

I'm still on my rant: almost nowhere in the country will you find architecture like this:
and what do they put in front of it? ...a statue of sly stallone pretending to be a boxing heavy weight champ. Belongs at the oscars, not the art museum:
As an artist (I paint and draw), I find this as distasteful as I do annoying. The whole art community is in revolt here in Philly. I suspect there will be some serious vandalism on this piece of crap statue when no one is looking.

Late night vigilantism in Philly may be the answer Gerry. Have you ever seen Cool Hand Luke? The tool used to cut the heads off the parking meters would work a treat on the legs of that statue don't you think?
Not that I would condone such a thing.

@pyffy...LMAO! I'm sure you're right; fear not though, I'm getting too old for that sort of thing, I'll leave it for the youngsters at the art schools.
Some weeks ago, in the art museum area, I saw some students (I'm assuming) driving around with ladders putting orange construction cones on the heads of all the statuary and others photographing. I had a good laugh...it truly was comical.
I'm sure your right, someone will put that statue in its place.

Yumm ... I'm jealous! I LOVE HOMEMADE PASTRY!! Why is, do you suppose, now that I've recently been told I'm a borderline diabetic that I get such incredible craving for that sort of stuff than I've ever had before. SOme sort of forbidden fruit syndrome?
Yesterday, I found this neat little french bakery in center city that sells everything at 75% off come 5:00. Getting off work at 4:30, I walk by the door about three minuits before the sale; it has a very long line as the 5:00 crowd gets out...I could be the first. Why do I discover such a thing only AFTER I'm told I can't eat anymore of it. Life just isn't fair ...so have a peice for me Ireland!!

i am just like ye,borderline diabetic i take this 5 min b-4 i eat..prandin
just info only,
When you have type 2 diabetes, gaining better control of your blood glucose (blood sugar) levels may often be hard to achieve. That's because each meal you eat may lead to a large increase, or "spike" in your blood sugar levels. This can happen when your body doesn't produce enough insulin or doesn't release it quickly enough. It can also happen when your body doesn't respond properly to the insulin that is released. It develops a resistance to insulin.
Sometimes, with type 2 diabetes, there may not be any symptoms for years. But over time, high levels of glucose in you blood can hurt your body and even lead to serious, long-term complications. The good news is that research has shown that complications of diabetes can be prevented or slowed by controlling blood sugar levels.
To help improve your control over your blood sugar levels after eating, you may want to consider a medication such as PRANDIN® (repaglinide) Tablets because, when taken as directed, PRANDIN® has been shown to lower blood glucose levels after eating.

Thank You, Ireland. I got checked every year because its so pervasive in my family (my mom, both her parents and all her siblings. She and grandad were type one, her sisters type 2.
Last physical, my blood sugar was 180 which is high but not terrible. Watching what I eat got it down to 110-112 without the need for medication. Apparantly they can tell from the liver enzymes, tricglycerides and pancreatic somethingorother that its on the start. They're keeping a close eye on it and although I don't have to stick myself or anything, I have to wizz on this little plastic thing once a week to monitor what color it turns and I'm suppose to contact the doctor if it goes deeper than a certain shade of green. I can see a direct correlation though between that and what I eat which, in a sense, is really helping know what I can and cannot eat better than the list on a piece of paper. I really don't think the craving for sugary things is my imagination though...its rather like wanting a cigarette right after quitting smoking...the need is pretty intense! If I'm eating right, I actually feel quite good but if I stray, things get weird ... ups and downs, fatigue, sugar cravings. I've been doing quite well though. I know the medication would even all that out some but they don't want me taking any yet nor do I want too.

Gonna have a bit of a funny rant on behalf of one of my greek friends.
In the movie "Troy" when brad pitt dies, have a look where he dies. he dies on the only patch of grass in the entire movie. Greeks don't die on grass. You die on concrete. Never grass....Ever
The 2 greek brothers i know were deeply offended by the ending to troy;-P

Mobler worm uses Symbian to target Windows
worm An old school worm that needs to be activated by the user before it can infect other media is currently doing the rounds, according to antivirus company FSecure.
Mobler attempts to copy itself to all available writable media such as floppy disks, USB memory and other folders on fixed drives.
One of the signs of infection is that the floppy drive will make a noise as if trying to write, even when there is no disk inside. Mobler worm uses Symbian to target Windows - Security - www.itnews.com.au Linked by shanmuga Thu Sep7 2006 9:51pm EDT

But they are responding to a call, the call of the wanton Doughnut, There is a special signal built into that Krispy Kreme doughnut light when it first comes on, an APB is issued...
But seriously, with all the stuff that our Law Enforcement people have to put up with, give them a break, not all calls require high speed driving with lights and a siren. I trust them enough to use their judgement when it is necessary to use the shoulder in order to get to a location in the utmost urgency.

You know Gerry, when they do put that statue of Rocky up, and vandals (aspiring young artists) get spray paint in his eyes, are you going to borrow an ambulance and rush him to the river to wash his eyes out with water? I'd be careful because the statue in a moment of delusional granduer may want to recreate a scene from Titanic and mistakenly try to set sail on a paper boat you have placed on the edge of the dock, thus assuring the statue plummets to un untimely demise in the bottom of the river, nevermore to be seen from again. Like Luca Brasi from the Godfather, "he sleeps with the fishes." Of course you would never drive on the shoulder with him in the back, now would you?
