Travel meme, gacked from atdelphi

And I should know this, because I just did the drive there and back... ;)

1. Go To Mapquest.com (or in my case, Multimap.com)
2. Click on Directions
3. Enter your Current Address and the Address of your Childhood Home (or at least the town if you don't remember the exact address).
4. Put the time and distance in a post like this.
5. Repost the instructions to the meme in your own blog.

Start: Derby, Derbyshire (a tad redundant?)
Finish: Lowestoft, Suffolk

Est. time: 3 hours and 49 minutes
Est. distance: 169.6 miles (272.9 km)

That's the distance to the house I lived in from when I was 3, till I was about 16, which is about half a mile from where my mother lives now.

E.T.A.

And for where I was born...

Start: Derby
Finish: Chelmsford, Essex

Est. time: 2 hours and 45 minutes
Est. distance: 153 miles (246.2 km)

The joys of discussion

You know, I always love it when people take a determined (or should that be dogmatic?) line on something and then proceed to loftily dismiss any differing opinion by saying things like "Well, you only believe what character X did was right because it was character X doing it", or that anyone who disagrees with them must therefore have dodgy ethics.

Oh, and anyone who disagrees with them is also siding with the terrorists, don't forget that! :P
