All together now. Happy Brithday to you. Happy Brithday to you. Happy Brithday to relish. Happy Brithday to you.
Hmm let's see... that means you can smoke crack for about a day... and then head back to the UK. Happy Birthday. Jeez... to be 17 and smoking crack again.... sigh... *wipes a nostalgic tear from his eye
Happy Birthday relish! $500 will last all of a week in New York! Don't let anyone know you have or you won't have it for very long.
relish - well I wish you all the best. Stay safe (read narcsarge's post) and have fun. You'll have to tell us all about it :Angel: I think there are some New Yorkers on MAP
They gave you 500 bucks to live in New York? Lets see.. you can buy a pack of smokes, a porno mag, and a cab ride to your 'penthouse loft' in the south bronx area. Oh wait.. you're 17.. scratch the smokes, and the porn.. You can now afford a 1/4 of a pad in Queens. Oh wait.. I'm sorry.. I don't mean to be a penis wrinkle.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! And if you live in South Bronx, buying baking soda makes people automatically assume things about you. So don't buy it unless you like crackheads constantly asking you for a fix...
Thanks Lily! Seriously though Relish. Carry only the cash you need. Don't "flash" any money when shopping, taking the subway, etc. If your polite, the city can be yours. Oh, and only hail a cab that has it's light turned on. You are a tourist if you stand in rush hour traffic with your hand high above your head!
Also good points! And if you do drive.. NEVER EVER EVER get stuck in what is known in NYC as "The Box".... this is pretty much the big empty square space at every intersection after the light turns red. If a cop sees you stuck there.. Better put on your happy face because your ass is getting a ticket.
LOL! Hence the signs: "DON'T BLOCK THE BOX!" At every flippin' intersection. And a word about cab drivers, always know where you are going. Meaning, know where Grand Central Station is and pay attention to what street your destination is on an make sure the driver takes you there. Cabbies, if they think you are clueless, will circle your destination a few times to get more $$$! And DJ. Who drives in N.Y. any way?
I did.. with my old '88 Ford F-250 Diesel with a manual I used to own... Go ahead cabbie.. **** me off.. I'll flood your cabin with noxious diesel fumes!! If you can drive in NYC.. you can drive anywhere in the world.
Except...... Any where that isn't a major city. Can't tell you the number of times I have seen NY tags driving on highways like they have no clue what they are doing! But I grew up in D.C. Had family that lived in N.Y. N.Y. drivers are definitly better then D.C. drivers!
Happy Birthday! I wish I could remember being 17! I went to New York once .Didn't get mugged but there was a really strange old lady in the YMCA who had a shower in her clothes every night and had conversations with herself.
Heh cheers everyone, yer I'll take care. I'm not going to live there DJ it's just a holiday with school lol !
