Oxford Any locals want to meet up in Oxford?
Posted: Sun May 18, 2008 04:09 PM UTC
I've just moved to Oxford and my contact list is about as long as my pinky finger. Any locals here interested in meeting up for a beverage of sorts? I am here for a good long while and that good long while is filled with sweet nothings so...my schedule is flexible. Let's hang out! :)

well, you speak the language so your are 95% there

you are a yank emmet you?

in my experience meeting brits - travelling through the antipodes - they don't like personal questions

like i mean i just asked one brit how he liked oz and he acted as if i had asked if he changed his underwear every week

i checked it out with husband who had spent many years in britland and he said my question was too personal

so i said - well - what the farrrk do you talk about in the britland?

and he said - the weather - nothing personal

but mebbee it has changed -

you will not have any problems in oxford communicating with brits,
it helps if you go to venues where you have something in common with people.
there are lots of music venues,pop,rock, classical,and all other types,it depends on what your interests are and if you are lucky enough on the day
to find someone who just wants to chill.
i know oxford quite well, as my work is based nearby,and sometimes takes me into
the town to service various places.
feel free to e mail me if you are not quite sure about areas/places you want to go for advice on safety etc.

i think they meant BrrrI.T.Land.
it sounds like a cold place where computer tekkies
go to cool down after fixing computers for morons.

Ah, I see. So instead of an Xbox, they use an Icebox? If you put a computer in the deepfreeze, do you get frozen chips?

nice one Dave,its nice to see some people on here still have a sense
of humour.
usually someone would have risked brain/computer damage searching for BrrrI.Tland,while trying to impress everyone with their knowledge of
absolutely everywhere.and forgeting the purpose of a travel forum,
to help people with useful info of places you have been to.
