British Invasion Car Show, Stowe, September 18 - 20
2009-09-06 21:11:00 A boy and his car.My first car was a 1959 MGA. I bought it for $350 and sold it a few months later, a deal I had to make with my parents to get them to acquiesce to what I thought was one of the greatest ideas of all time: me in a sleek, fast, and nimble car to try out my inestimable driving skillI sold it for the same amount I had bought it for and I broke even except for gas plus all the polish, wax, and other chemicals I put on or in it. I enjoyed - no, make that - LOVED, driving the MG that summer. I spent hours each day driving or working on that car. It has rusted out rocker panels which I carefully scrapped out and painted rust-proof silver. With a meticulousness worthy of a new category of dementia, I sanded each wheel and sprayed them in short stages with the leftover paint from the rocker panel project. There was not one run in the paint. Of course, it took me more than a week of light spraying to achieve that. And I had to mask the tires each time to keep overspray off th...
Forget The “British Invasion”: Barack Obama — Instant &ld
2008-05-19 08:13:00 13% Of The City Of Portland, Oregon Goes “Woodstock” On Obama… Sounds like an exaggeration, doesn’t it? FACT — the population of Oregon’s largest city is 568,380. FACT — An estimated 75,000 “Portlandians” attended Barack Obama’s “Helloooooo, Portland” event. It’s not “fuzzy math”; it’s SIMPLE math: 75,000 divided by 568,380 equals more than THIRTEEN PERCENT of the entire city. And folks, that’s a pretty SIGNIFICANT number, according to MOI… For example; take everyone’s favorite far-left-wing country musician Charlie Daniels — an instant “favorite” of many of my fellow Liberals, OBVIOUSLY. Do you REALLY believe for a moment even HE could waltz down to the riverfront of Portland, Oregon, and have 13% of the city suddenly go “rabid” over his appearance? 10%, perhaps. 13%? NO WAY, JOSÉ… And NOW, it’s time for the “...
Leona Lewis Rocks MTV's TRL
2008-04-10 10:44:00 British Sensation Leona Lewis rocked MTV's TRL yesterday to promote her new album and to further promote herself in the United States. There is so much hype around Leona right now. On 27 March 2008, "Bleeding Love", in its sixth week in the US Billboard Hot 100, reached number one. This was the first time in over twenty years that a British female solo artist had achieved the top spot since Kim Wilde in 1987 with "You Keep Me Hangin' On". (photo via wireimage)

DEXTER: The British Invasion
2007-12-17 17:15:00 While DEXTER wrapped up its second season in style, this TV Addict had one serious issue. Namely, I predicted it! [see last week’s post titled “The TV Addict Predicts Sunday’s Dexter Finale”] Of course predictability aside, it was an incredibly satisfying finale filled with TiVo-worthy character moments for virtually every one of our favorite Miama cops. Oh, and Lila. Love her or loathe her, you gotta give Lila some credit. From the moment the two soul mates met [Lexter?], everything changed. Lila may have been completely psychotic, but she does deserve credit for teaching Dexter to accept who he is. How hilarious [and twisted] was Lila’s reaction upon realizing why Doakes was in the cage? Her smile was just so wicked as she formulated a plan, to in essence — consummate her relationship with Dexter. (more…)

the british invasion arrives in la: fresh & easy
2007-11-09 01:44:00 Considering I live with a homesick Brit, we've been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the UK grocery giant, Tesco's, since we first heard they were setting up shop with a brand in the states more than a year ago. Today the first wave of the British invasion arrived with the grand opening of their first six CA stores. The prospect of having a local British grocer was almost too much to bear, so as soon as we could, we hopped in the car and headed east to check out the Eagle Rock store.What you may fondly remember as the 70's Lucky's on Eagle Rock & El Paso (as I do, from early grocery trips there with my uncle in his big white Caddy), is now a bright beacon of northeast LA gentrification.As one would expect on opening day, the parking lot was a bit of a zoo, but they had the good sense to have some very helpful attendants on hand. A bit smaller than your average chain grocery, the shop felt like the love child of Ralph's and Trader Joe. Though there weren't many of the Brit f...

Waiting for the iPhone?s British Invasion
2007-11-08 13:00:00 Considering Apple sold 1 million iPhone units in the U.S. within 74 days of its release, it is little wonder that the imminent arrival of the latest must-have product has sparked a consumer frenzy this side of the Atlantic as well. The phone, which will be launched in Britain on Friday, is expected to sell rapidly with sales of the "breakthrough" handsets predicted to reach 400,000 over Christmas.
British Invasion of Northern France
2007-09-26 09:07:00 Yesterday in Calais (northern France) at the Cité Europe mall, we took a break to have a drink, and I got a kick out of the bill when we asked for it. It tells you the total in euros and pounds. Pounds, I guess, because there are probably more English people shopping at Cité Europe ...

The Second Coming of the British Invasion
2007-03-21 16:41:00 by Libby Pelham Well, the Idols finally performed like Idols last night - for the most part. It was the second coming of the British Invasion. I loved most of the songs they chose, but was a little shocked that two Zombies songs were chosen out of eleven contestants. As far as I know, the Zombies pretty much only had those two hits ("Time of the Season" and "She's Not There"). Click here to read the rest of The Second Coming of the British Invasion
