I'm off to England again, ain't I?

by Ben Reilly Sat Aug 11, 2018 2:04 am

Off to Edds's again for a bit over a week, no kids, we might just spend the week in bed but I do have a few ideas of what I'd like to see -- don't I?

* The Tower of London

* The Basement of London (cos opposite tings innit)

* Euro Disney

* Pick a Lilly Circus (do the elephants really pick lillies for you, because lovely!)

* The Vicar of Dibley

* The NHS Building

* The statue of John Lennon (I assume)

* Liverpool. Is it really just a big pool full of liver? Delightfully disgusting!

Also, I'd like to:

* Fail to blow up the Houses of Parliament

* Call Boris Johnson "Trump" just to see his reaction

* Drive on the right side of the street and see if I can spark a new trend!

* Scotland.

Any advice???

Okay so I’m gonna answer this fuckery.

* We ain’t got no time to blow up no buildings fam. Not this year anyhow. But we can blow something up..?

*I’d prefer to call him “Gump” as in Boris Gump. I’ve said it a hundred times before...don’t you read your own forum? Jesus.

* you can drive on the right side of the road but I ain’t getting in no car with you seeing as your “car history” is erm....well...

*you’d like to “Scotland”? What? You want to be Scotland? Go there? Sleep with all Scottish women? Be an actual country? What fuckery you chattin’?

"Edit" Just noticed you said no kids... Rolling Eyes

Still the rest is cool Laughing

How about skip all the above and meet some of the forum for a pint and a wiskey chaser?

Preferably a bar or pub, that serves single malt JD.... Laughing

Then take Eddie and her daughter away for a weekend in Dublin. Get back to your roots

Go to the seaside, I would suggest Hythe

Go to Shepherds Market. Its an off the back street area of Mayfair of 18th century pubs, restaurants and shops, that not many people or tourists know about. (Eddie would be in seventh heaven) I worked around the courner for 5 years a 20 years ago.

http://www.shepherdmarket.co.uk/

Go to Abbey Road, as you are a massive beatles fan

Go to the London Dungeon Twisted Evil

https://www.thedungeons.com/london/en/

Take Eddie to one of the "Tate Modern" as she loves art

https://www.tate.org.uk/visit/tate-modern

Go to a Premiership football game (yes Eddie suck it up, as he is going to take you to see art)

Take Eddie's litle girl on the London Eye, she will love it, followed up with a trip to Hamley's Toy store, followed by a Theatre performance of "Frozen"

http://www.hamleys.com/

https://www.londoneye.com/

Go to The London Distillery Company. They do visits

https://londondistillery.com/

Go to Canterbury, its magical and see Canterbury tales

https://www.canterburytales.org.uk/

Have sex in Mcdonalds Laughing

by Syl Sat Aug 11, 2018 11:15 am

When you get here I bet you wont care less about the places you visit, being with each other will be enough.
I may be an old married lady but I can remember that feeling very well. Cool

You could visit the North Wales coast though when you have time....it's probably one of the most beautiful places I ever go to.

by eddie Sat Aug 11, 2018 12:13 pm

I like didge’s suggestion:

“How about skip all the above and meet some of the forum for a pint and a wiskey chaser?”

I am up for that!

Eating gyros watching the sunset over the caldera in Santorini last year.....one of my lifes highlights.

I honestly hate driving, and I never did motorways even when I did drive.
Since OH retired he drives us all over the place....I doubt he would drive to London though, he thinks I am mad to post on forums never mind meet up from one. Razz

Why not come to Wales, we have a castle on every corner, early industrial sites all over the place, lovely beaches and scenic views of a lot of kinds, sheep, great food and drink, great stories and did I mention sheep, especially the ones that pinch your ice at one mountain pass if you dare stop for an ice cream or a cup of tea and sandwich while taking in the view of the valleys communities stretched out below you\ They do tend to prefer an ice cream though.

Can you imagine Eddie map reading here based on welsh place names?

Ben would end up in Italy

Laughing

by Vintage Sat Aug 11, 2018 9:14 pm

Didn't think of that. Now, I have the scene in Yanks in mind when the character played by Vanessa Redgrave went to Aberystwyth for a dirty weekend with her G. I. manfriend and chickened out. He said, something like 'England is a beautiful country' she said 'Technically this is Wales' He says 'Then that's the Welsh Sea' she says 'No, the Irish Sea' etc.

Good idea Vintage. We have a static in Wales and spend a lot of time there in summer.
We could organise tea with welsh cakes, Bara Brith, lovely views and a swim in the Irish sea, where if we are lucky we will spot the dolphins swimming past.

That is very true.

But!

Do you know that Ben is one of those drivers that suddenly decides he wants to go “that way” and you get whiplash?

Do you know, that the very first time I ever met him in Texas, we got in his car and he actually said to me “I’m not sure which way the restaurant is...what do you think?”

Just get him to Abbey Road

He gets out and about plenty, he just can’t be bothered to concentrate on driving, it kinda bores him so he gets distracted. I dunno. Neither of us seem to get anywhere fast. Rolling Eyes

Ben, if you still intend to fail to blow up the Houses of Parliament, please remember that, like hunting, fishing and shooting grouse, there is a legally enforceable season for that sort of thing.

In the case of your chosen pursuit, this commences at one minute past midnight on November 5th and ends at midnight on the same day.

Ps. Do, please, try to be quiet while doing any preparatory work in the House of Lords as the barmy old duffers will be sleeping.

In my defense:

There was a detour and that was CONFUSING TO ME!!!

I was frazzled by a train that would have taken us in the right direction literally every other time, but ended up trying to take us to Dallas this one and only time.

And edds had done something she couldn't have known at the time was highly distracting.

Very hard saying goodbye yesterday morning (yes, yesterday. Starting with travel to the airport, I traveled for about 23 hours yesterday).

But things are different now as we have something to sell to work toward our requirement. Just going to try to stay focused on that, and getting back to my family.

Rude is as rude does., right? Cool
