I am faster than you all

I am currently finding $5.85 at 34,000'

Modern tech is amazing.

And no, I am not flapping my arms. I'm in cattle class, barely enough room to inhale, never mind actually move appendages.

Hmmm...I've never found any money at that altitude

Where you going?

[Scruit]

California for a database tech conference. Sitting at the hotel bar right now drinking Guinness in Santa Clara. The guys next to me are British. Keeping my gob shut as I can't be arsed to get into a conversation.

Lots of geeks talking about databases and MySQL/percona stuff. And I'm setting here dressed like I just finished fixing a car. Total stealth mode.

Just remembered my phone has a Union Jack background. My cover will soon be blown.

He knows and is looking for an excuse to start a conversation.

Seriously? Wish I'd know you were going. I chose to do a DB2 training instead.

Ive spent a lot of time in Santa Clara for clients. Was just out there a few weeks ago before I went to China.

So do you Brits not like talking to other Brits?

Depends on my mood. Generally as soon as I open my mouth that is considered an open invitation to ask about where I came from, why I emigrated, etc. even worse from Brits because they tend to feel some kind of kinship with me and think I will talk their ear off all evening.

I just got done with 6 hours of flying, 3 hours sitting at airports, I'm supposed to be asleep already, I just want some food, a beer and go to bed. It is easier to stifle the conversation right now than look for awkward excuses later.

Brits do seem to think they're a bit special and their conversation tends to reflect that attitude.

As long as the chap's name isn't Randy I don't see any harm in chatting him up.

Soooo... you were flying west? Technically that would make you slower than all of us who stayed in Ohio... relative to space, and lets face it, that's the most important frame of reference

This made me laugh. It's like I can here a comedic British accent when I read it.
