Nick! He has been there for as long as I remember. Oh and was the London Road Station "garden" where the fox used to live? Talking of gardens, has the "greenway" near the New England Quarter opened yet, so you can walk across the old iron bridge across the New England Street. I've always...

I think it was demolished when they redid the Aquarium Terraces.

But do Virgin actually provide it? I agree it is good there has been massive rolling stock upgrade, but isn't this actually the DfT's doing? Equally, wasn't it the DfT that put the breaks on any new rolling stock in the mid'90s, therefore leaving us with the Slam Doors until 2005 and helping to...

In all those countries bar Russia, "reds" were installed by Stalin between 1944-47, so the revulsion to leftism was more linked to seeing it as a move towards Russian hegemony. The left got back in relatively quick in Poland and Hungary in the 1990s mind you...

If Jarvis were doing it, they'd have blamed it on vandals.

I think it shows how many of your three categories we have in England!

Talking of that Italian train crash, I visited Viareggio a fair few times when on holiday in Italy many years ago, it was quite a nice if unassuming place. Sad to see it today in the news in that way.

A friend of mine had it a couple of weeks back and caught it around the same time he met up with me when I had a cold/fever. Whether I had it and gave it to him remains to be seen, but it fits the timeline.

ze alcoves?

I saw it at the cinema last year. Amazing film, left the cinema feeling rather dazed mind you!!

The LSC are a disgrace, a perfect demonstration of everything that is wrong with power being given to a quango like that!

BOF, talking of that area, have you had a drink in the Wheatscheaf since it moved to under the Hop Exchange. I never went to the original one as it always looked really rammed but I quite like the new one.

I also would recommend visiting the OXO tower but I'm not sure if it can only be visited if you dine in the (expensive!) restaurants there. I would strongly recommend staying away from the area around the Dominion, having studyed at UCL for three years and spent many hours around Tottenham...

Good call. Back in the day you could have also visited an excellent pie shop, Goddards..

Well I recommend Natural History as it was the one I went to last and really enjoyed, plus it's in a different area to say the British, which is right by where you will be seeing We Will Rock You, and I think it's good to get a nice sweep of different areas. The Tate Modern can be worth a...

I think both the Natural History Museum and the British Museum are well worth a visit. Hopefully if it's a midweek day they won't be too busy so you can explore at your own pace. I also recommend just having a nice walk along the river, I always enjoy it and I think it is nice to see all the...

I love that photo of the bus with the massive uncle sams advert! To continue the thread, when the Mazda fountain used to light up at night and each one of the water jets was lit a different colour.

Exactly. There are so many other shows you simply can't imagine another channel either being able to do, or do well.

Sorry to jump across arguments for a moment, but it makes me glad the BBC licence fee can pay to make TV shows like that as opposed to paying for Premier League rights..

Please, didn't you know the TSLR is aligned with the FNLA and other Third World peoples liberation movements?:lolol:
