            oh and yeah the 11pm shutting time rule sucks, they are "making" plans to change this but its been happening for several years now, so who knows when we'll finally get more continental style hours.
            I didn't go to the tower, as I had been there before 9 years ago. I went to the City Museum of London, which was really cool, and the National Gallery.

            If the food were better, London bars were open later, and prices were a bit more reasonable, I'd be sorely tempted to relocate there. I really loved being around all that history. American cities just can't compete with Europe's legacy in this regard.

                    Just to name one; overcoocked.
                    Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

                        There ARE other ways to cook food beisdes boiling it and frying it... Ever hear of spices? (not just herbs)... Yellow/Orange cheeses are great, you should try them sometime... Sausage does not HAVE to have blood in it... Sugar is something that should be added to desserts, not coffee... Milk goes on cereal not in tea... Cabbagge does not smell, nor taste good... if you must purette everything at least put some rum in it...

                        I could really care less, British Ale is much better, and as I like to say "there is a sandwhich in every beer, and a steak in every high-ball"

                        Oh, yeah, two more things wrong with British food: Jamie Oliver.

                          Boiling/Frying: We roast a hell of a lot of stuff too.

                          Have we ever heard of spices: Have you ever heard that spicy Indian food is the most popular meal in the UK?

                          We should try Yellow/Orange cheeses: We have almost nothing but yellow and orange cheeses.

                          Sausage with no blood: Umm ..... we know that.

                          Milk on cereal: What else would we put on it???

                          Well I can agree with you on this ..... pukka.

                            £2.17 for a pint of Fosters at my local pub. Local punk/ska club does a £1 a drink deal before ten though. And I hear pubs stay open much later in Edinburgh (strangely my family has yet to comment on this reason for my uni choice).

                            I also always manage to find AC in a club. I dunno if my local ones are just odd but there's always one place you can stand that's cool.

                            Boris, didn't tell me you were going to G-A-Y. Damn, I should have gone to London after all.
                            Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

                              I like English food - at least some of it. I guess it depends on exactly who is cooking it... the basic type of dishes are fine (sheppard's pie, roast leg 'o lamb, meatloaf, etc).

                              And the full-blown English breakfast is one of the greatest things ever invented. Fried tomatoes Not so sure about fried bread, but the rest of it is solid.

                              The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.
