@ossobuco,
Great description of the day baz... only thing I can add is a little more emphasis on how ABSOLUTELY AWESOME it has been.
We were planing to go out... but it's been so much fun here so far I am unsure whether it will happen... especially since it is now almost 12am... my flatmates are joining in with a fire in the back yard.
wishes from all to all xxxxxxx

There's a Test Match in Cardiff starting Wed the 8th. And you could take in Tiger Bay at night as well. I know it's Wales but we have them tamed. More or less.

You might find a few Druids and their priestesses.

The tourist attractions have been sanitised.

PQ has a lovely voice. SO LOVELY Very Happy


Haha, I literally said the same thing about you to Barry, Izzie, before I'd even read this.

Another great day seeing the sights, the boys have now moved their stuff over to Bary's house... My room feels empty Sad x

Taylor (soon to have an A2K handle) and I have settled into Bazza's place. Great place with lots of color. The cat seems to already be plotting against us.

Last was night epic. Partied like manics. Trust that. Dancing on tables and PQ's roommates set the back yard on fire. Today we awoke late and nursed ourself back to decency with roasted meats and the hair of the dog that bit us. Crawled to the Tate Modern and looked at a few exhibits with screaming faces and lots of pretty lines. We wandered around Soho for a hours just looking people watching and discussion American a British government/culture. Bazza showed us a place to buy mod clothes (more on that in a week I suspect).

Bazza pitched us off the sidewalk into a quaint and very English pub. The Barkeeper was closing up, but let us buy one drink. Very kind. Taylor talked with another patron about film making while Baz blew PQ and my mind with stories of being a Mod in the 60s. Wicked.

Pictures on their way. I need to charge my camera for a while, but then I'll be A2P (able 2 post... hehe).

The joke of the day yesterday was: Taylor - "We spent the day being lead around the English, having the English buy us drinks. Today we celebrate Dependence Day!"

Sunday....we met up at the Tate Modern,a first for me (a lot of the exhibits went straight over my head).Crossed the "wibbly wobbly bridge" to Saint Paul's Cathedral.Took a thirst break in a cracking little pub which was about to close but the Governess took pity on on us.Taylor got a film contact.
Discovered Somerset House (great water display);walked on to Covent Garden.Street entertainment was a little bit quiet,due to building restoration, but one guy kept us laughing for 30 minutes.Strolled to Carnaby Street (my "bolt hole" Sherry's is still there).Hit Regent Street,turned right into Oxford Street,turned right into Wardour Street,ended up in Leicester Square,feeling hungry.Taylor took a flyer from a street guy and we ended up in an Indian restaurant in Charing Cross Road.Train back to PQ's,and transfer to mine.

@Diest TKO,
Don't try abducting Queenie TK because we will send the SAS to fetch her back.

@spendius,
One has to bear in mind TK that pagan men only ever go abroad for the purpose of abducting women. It is a sign that they can't make any sense of the women in their locality because any chap who can make sense of the women in his locality has neither the time nor the inclination to look further afield.

You look a wee bit flabby round the jowls I would have said for a young man. It doesn't auger well for a few years down the line.
