... like me has few questions regarding a future stay in your fair capital. :innocent:

ok, I think I can figure out about some ridiculously expensive grubby hell-hole to stay myself but.... I would very much appreciate some Top Night Out recommendations from you friendly people. I obviously dont need anything to do on a tuesday :innocent: but I will stay up to Saturday. So anything to do in the evenings? Raunchy Rock hangouts? gay goth danceteria? Whatever!


Ta muchley. :notworthy:


P.S. No forward date offers please....

There's a pub in Covent Garden that sells beers from almost every country in the world. That should take you a few days to work your way through. :lol:

P.S: Aren't all dates after today in the future? :innocent:

I'll go for the internationally acknowledged capitals only. The one where our missus travels to to lick arse of your Prime Dog.

sorry, Big Si, I didnt know that every watering hole has a own capital over there. :twisted:

UK = United Kingdom

Ireland, Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland and the Isle of Man (thanks Claire :notworthy: ) are not part of (that) England, thank you! :x :roll:

@ Big Si - YOU are so right. Its a shame that the north of Mancester is still part of England ;-)

Do I hear the sound of a Can of Worms being opened :wink:
(its ALL my fault Honest Guv)

London is OK for a visit but I would hate to live there!

I hate to nit-pick, Si...

BUT.:twisted:

Ireland (southern) isn't part of the United Kingdom (although it's part of the British Isles).
And I think Jersey, Guernsey and possibly also the Isle of Wight (though don't quote me on that) have their own capitals. :innocent:

[/smug] :wink:

In reply to miss nit picker -

Ireland - I should have typed 'Eire' :wink:

Anyway, thank you for the 3 I missed :kiss:

Oh christ I've forgotten about The Faroe Islands, The Scilly Isles, Orkney/Shetland/Inner-Outer Hebrides, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, Singapore and the Bahamas :roll:

@ Badlander You're the only one who correctly guessed the extra capital :D :notworthy:

there's nothing wrong with derailing into a slightly more intelligent direction than the initial post was meant to. ... so go ahead reminiscing about the glorious colonial days of the British Empire.

Anyone who actually has a recommendation for my stay in London please pm me to not de-derail. :wink:

So how about e.g. Jamaica and Australia then? That lady appears still to be a queen down there too?

I was only talking about the United Kingdom, not the British Empire.

You people! :roll: :P
