Only those of a foolish disposition are unable to see the magical 
properties of the cloak.

She also, as I recall, denounced Italian Pizza to be quite terrible 
(or words to that effect), Italy being the country of origin for said 
dish. Although I can't deny that the Pizza Express pizzas were 
shamefully bad.

I am looking forward to seeing them.

As Simon mentioned in a previous post, my journey from Soton was 
perhaps the worst train experience of my life (save maybe for that 
time I was in Bristol Temple Meads waiting for the train to leave for 
Paddington when the carriage filled with smoke). The train picked me 
up from Southampton Central 3 minutes late. It arrived in Waterloo 1 
hour and 19 minutes late.

Be afraid New York, quiver.

I didn't have a hangover this morning. I don't think I had that much 
to drink. If I did then I must have slept through any hangover by not 
getting up till 12:30.
