The Entrance:

At first glance it's quite wide but it's navigable channel is quite narrow. It would have trouble with a big ship.

I wanted to take Mrs Generali up The Entrance this weekend but it looks like we might have to stay in ;0).

Reminds me of the Oxo Tower reviews when I was working down South

A genuine set of reviews from London Eating:


"When my boyfriend told me he wanted to take me up the Oxo Tower for my birthday, I was a bit hesitant at first because I didn't really think it was my scene. How wrong I was! I mean, yeah, so it's a bit of a strain on the old back pocket, and I admit I did feel a bit uncomfortable initially. But a couple of cocktails helped me relax and soon I was really getting into it - we carried on well into the night. It was a great experience and I really loved it - so much so that I won't let my boyfriend take me anywhere else now! So if anyone ever wants to take you up the Oxo Tower, just throw caution to the wind and go for it!"

"I agree with Rachel - Last Friday evening I tried to take my girlfriend up the Oxo Tower but unfortunately we found it was completely full, so despite our best efforts, we just couldn't get in. I even greased the odd palm in the hope of slipping in without too much of a fuss, but I didn't want to push it. .

The next weekend we planned ahead and I have to say, the whole thing was much smoother. Of course, it was still a bit of a tight squeeze, but we took our time, didn't rush in, and to my delight, we got inside.

One piece of advice: if you've never been there before, you might be a bit put off by the surroundings - sometimes you might find a few rather unattractive-looking hangers-on near the entrance but my advice is just keep your eyes firmly on the front door and before you know it, you'll be safe inside.

So go on - give it a try. Maybe it's not for everyone, but I know we'll be going back as often as we can."

well...these is a bit of serious interest in my parents house at last. A couple of people each wanting second viewings before each other...one couple talking about where the furniture ''will go'.

I've been on holiday.

Not sure how much I can catch up on, I think it's gone a bit too far for that. I will have to skim for everyone's user names to find the latest big news I think.

But Hi, anyway. :wave:

Just got home from a gig

Everyone must listen to Amanda Palmer. (actually, she's probably not to everyone's taste)

I'm glad to report that this evening the present seemed much more relaxed. Still trying to jump straight back out of my hands almost every time I pick her up, but no more biting, and no more distressed and angry squawking like she did in the pet shop when the shop assistant picked her up to put her in the box for us to take her home and the first few times we tried to pick her up here at home. I think she is beginning to get used to us.

If Hamish had a facebook profile it would say one of the following three things......

Hamish- is sick of working 90 hour weeks and questions whether the bonus is worth it

Hamish- is considering taking the weekend off and applying for his visa to live somewhere warmer with a better work/life balance

Hamish- wants to meet the man responsible for Aberlour distillery's A'bunadh..... And thank him.


Unless of course, the post was made at 7am on a 'schoolday', in which case there is only one possible option.


Hamish- wants to meet the man responsible for Aberlour distillery's A'bunadh..... In a dark alley with no witnesses. .

Oh, and I find this spelling mistake in the Telegraph hilarious for some reason.

At school there was a girl called Louise Palmer..... and she was certainly to everyone's taste.

Regrettably, in the four years I knew of her, she never dated any of the guys at school, nor did we find out what she got up to socially. I once managed a short smooch with her to the Shirelles' "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" at a school dance, but so far as I know, she didn't love anyone, even for a night.

She isn't on Friends Reunited or Facebook..... I wonder where she went? :cool:
