It's not a quarter... but it will do!

When truly in need,

quarters are over-rated;

tuppence will suffice.

Nothing says awesome like a bunch of high school teachers using the UK equivalent of a penny (though likely more worthless) to re-invent speed quarters. I vote we call it "Feed the Birds" in honor of the Bird Lady from Mary Poppins. Also, let it be known that certain tuppence coins bounce more readily than others, and that I either get it in the glass on the first shot [that's what she said] or wind up drinking.

What Not to Do...

If you're interested:

Mind-numbing boredom awaits;

Jane Austen Tour.

Seriously... I don't even like Jane Austen to begin with, but the Jane Austen Walking Tour was possibly the worst thing ever. Even the Janeites I was with thought it was misery. Perhaps worse than punting?

Punting (or the worst idea ever)

It started out something like this:

On weekends I like to go punting.

With friends who enjoy beer hunting.

If we leave after lunch,

We can go in a bunch,

and the punter can do all the grunting.

This is how it ended:

For a good time we hired a boat

To sit in the river and float

Down the stream we would go

as we rocked to and fro

About none of our skills did we gloat.

Final thoughts:

never go punting; ever.
