this a series with Ewan Mcgregor and some other guy. they ride BMW motorcycles around the world. they did it the hard way, driving through Siberia and Mongolia. it was simply amazing. it was on as a marathon and i watched it for 6 hours straight.
ewan mcgregor comes off as a real down to earth guy.

i would really recommed this to watch, especially if you like bikes and traveling.

also, amazing, their last stop was to see the guys at American Chopper. its amazing how famous that show is

that ewan mcgregor really impressed me, seem like a real good guy

odysseus · #4 27-12-2005, 23:45

really good show

especially when they travelled "Road of Bones".
It was 1st shown in UK quite some time ago, more than a year IIRC and achieved kind of cult status.
The other dude is Charlie Boorman, small-time actor and son of film director John.

Have not seen it yet but had seen some promos and heard it was good. have to see when it is on in US.

Just got back from NJ, nice to see parents but weather was nasty, lots of rain. How is Boston?

Sorry to hear that Paul. Lot of that going around. Glad to hear you feel better but I know that you were looking forward to seeing your family for the holidays.

still going strong witht he football bets, and the last 2 years ive done my best during playoffs which are coming in 2 weeks.

lost alot on flight and gotels, but saved from not being out drinking for 5 straight days, but thats good spending!

Paul,

you should have been allowed by the airlines to cancel your flight and be able to use the ticket in the future(within a year of purchase date) for a $100-$150 change fee plus any difference in the fare. Did you cancel it or were you too sick and not able to get in touch with the airlines

im just *****ing, wasnt too bad. cancelled my flight 1 ghr before departure, they refunded everytihgn but 150usd. but i had used priceline.com for my hotels in nyc, so lost that. so all together lost about 400, not that bad, but compounded with puking and shittign all week, sucked!

well at least you got that back.

I have not had the stomach flu yet but have friends that have gotten in and know that it knocks you for a loop. I had food poisoning a few months ago and everyone says it is similar and I was done for about 30 hours.

Slow here also but still doing some work.

when I had my bout of food poisoning it was a big relief when I could finally get up and walk around, instead of just running from the bed to the toilet and back.

So I know what you mean.

Ah, the simple pleasures in life!
