Weird, I live in London and really don't see the fuss. San Francisco looks much more enjoyable.

Something to do with grass being greener over there?

It's largely to do with the fact that there seems to be such amazingly varied environments within a days travel of San Francisco, not to mention lots of exciting activities that come from such a massive bay area and coastline.

I'm sure London and by extension the rest of England are nice to visit, but I want proper mountains and national parks, not the wussy ones we have here. I want proper beaches, and I want to be able to take advantage of my very strong English accent :)

to anyone who's phone I tried to run www.tweetplugs.com on and said it didn't work - apologies. There was a breaking change in the new google caja lib which bust it. Its back working so if you want to play noughts and crosses on twitter, go for it!

Also on the same night as the Cyanide and Happiness london meetup which probably attracts a fair amount of the HN audience.

i am going to try and attempt to reach both.

So, did you make it? :) I only made it to OSJAM which was great.
