Seriously, these are possibly one of the best things sold in the UK and Ireland.
Anyways, back to the handy guy. One of the other people in the building was having trouble with her heat, so he 'fixed' ours too. Meaning that he turned it on high, and left, saying he'd be back tomorrow. He did not return (to my knowledge) until this past Wednesday.

This next series I also did not plan. I will preface it by saying that what follows did clear up my confusion as to why a group of people around the corner from this 'street festival' were wearing MN Viking apparel:

| Interestingly, I saw no Steelers apparel until I found this main area. Vikings fans however seemed to have found some of the local pubs. |
And here I though I was only going to get (American) football stuff on Facebook. Silly me.
