Ah, it's good to be back in Norwich, must run now, captions later.

My favorite fish and chips shop.

And where I usually went for "a traditional cuppa."

No mushy peas for me this time. Once was enough.

St. Gregory Church at Pottergate.

A fine lichgate at St. Andrew Church.

Bush was in London yesterday. Hence the heightened security.

An Arab cafe with an Italian name.

The quaint sinks at 69 Brook Street, Westminster.

I just arrived in Norwich. My US Airways flight out of Philly was four hours late, which left me just two hours in downtown Manchester, during my layover:

The food onboard was even grosser than usual. The airlines are losing so much money, they're cutting every corner and make up one excuse after another for their routine delays. Landed, I had an OK meal at the OK Cafe, a roast beef platter served with chips, cabbage, peas and a tiny pastry shell, everything smothered in gravy.

A2Z School of English.

A young rapper performing on the sidewalk.

If you see anyone assaulting our staff or passengers...

E.S.L.

A bad translation can kill, as evidenced Virginia Tech. After that carnage--from the Latin carnis, meat--I made the above video, "E.S.L.," and wrote a brief commentary, "Speechless."

[Full etymology of carnage: appeared in English circa 1600, from M.Fr. carnage, from O.It. carnaggio "slaughter, murder," from M.L. carnaticum "flesh," often "meat supplied by tenants in tribute to a feudal lord," from L. carnaticum "slaughter of animals," from caro (acc. carnem) "flesh." "Caro," interestingly enough, is modern Italian for "dear," "darling" or "expensive."]
