Well unfortunately there was no holiday romance....ish. A stonking German lass sunbathed by the pool and the whole week we were sneaking glances at her. I even walked past and her mam nudged her and she blushed Got rid of me stalker by not txting her (no credit but then I got more). Anyways, I got me cousin Tim to send her a txt saying that I didn't have credit and had been in hospital after a french bloke smashed a bottle over my head. I bought a Boca Juniors and an Argentina shirt, so I'm going to do a spoof of Goal! after I get a video camera. I'm suntanned and my aunt Ju said I look hispanic (and I do). At least not English. More as I remember it I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways we were doing so when this french bloke with the scariest eyes you ever did see (they were grey and really staring ones!) pointed at me as I was about to throw the ball and walked towards us in the pool. I thought he was going to walk past as he went past JJ so threw her the ball. He catches it (rather well I might add) and turns away, so me mam walks up: "TWO EUROS! REAL MADRID! WE BOUGHT IT OVER THERE IN THE SHOP!" She thought he was a Real fan so her attempt at conversation was bitterly ironic at such a time. So me aunt is sitting by the pool nagging him: "that is so RUDE". She also misread the scenario as she thought he was cheesed off with us lobbing a ball to eachother. It turned out he had a similar ball and thought we'd nicked it. Shame his ball didn't look a thing like ours. Twat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 14085 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 oh and the locations of weather spoons! 169077[/snapback] There's one bang on Leicester Square, as it happens, but it's a smidge more expensive than your average 'spoons... If you've got the weather on your side during Friday or Saturday, you could do worse than get yourself out to Greenwich (use Cutty Sark DLR station), potter around the waterfront for a bit then take a boat back along the Thames to Westminster - it takes about an hour (including a stop at Tower Bridge to load/unload people) and you get a good view of all the sights, plus if you use City Cruises (there are several competing operators) you'll often get a canny boatman who'll give you a sarky commentary on what you're seeing. No guarantees though. Or you could just do what I did on my first [x] visits to London and just spend all your time in HMV and Virgin on Oxford Street, obviously.

khay 8 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I think a lot of time will be spent just shopping though! Not to sure if i facny a boat trip but it sounds like a good idea for in the evening, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14085 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Think the last one back from Greenwich is at about 6pm, so be warned. There's a licenced bar on the boat, if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curry stained pilchard 0 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Tollund Man The main attraction of Silkeborg Museum is the body of Tollund Man. He was discovered in the Bjældskovdal bog some 10 km west of Silkeborg in 1950 by the brothers Emil and Viggo Højgård. The bog body was so well-preserved that their immediate reaction was to call the police. The police in Silkeborg had an idea of the true facts of the case as bog bodies had been discovered previously (in 1927 and 1938) in the same bog, so they called in the museum staff. The farms of Emil and Viggo Højgård were in the village of Tollund; thus the best preserved bog body of the world came to be named Tollund Man.
