London

Yeah, the battle that pretty much ended the Napoleonic Wars was no biggie...

Glad we agree

Glad we agree

And there was me thinking it was the Americans, rather than the Dutch, who were known for lacking a sense of irony. :CHappy

go to Camden

it's an experience if you've got a couple of hours to spare

The same thing applies to the well known Camden in the United States.

Only instead of going to the market, you get gang raped.

The London Eye has awesome views, definitely give it a go (I don't think you have to book it in advance any more...)

I was there in '09 and we just walked up and got tickets so I think it's the same.

Living here, you barely notice it. And it means that when you go somewhere else you're like "a pint is only 2.50, how lovely!"

There's not really good outlets in London. The shopping there is about the expensive department stores like Harrods and Selfridges. The outlet places are outside of London. And IIRC a dollar is about 60p at the minute.

Yeah, cheap alcohol is awesome.

Also, he means sockets, not shopping outlets.

In America plug sockets are outlets?

Every day's a schoolday, huh.

We use both electrical outlet and electrical socket, but the former is more common.

Everyone, thanks for all the tips nd' tricks.
Will be checking out the Eye, the Malls and everything else. We've got... Four days on us, more or less. Flying from Norway to England.
As for the theatre - We're going to be viewing the musical "We will Rock you".

That's a good choice. You should go eat somewhere in Charlotte Street, that's just round the corner from the Dominion (where We Will Rock You is) and it's like a street of about 50 restaurants lol.

In Canada, an electrical socket is a sexual position.

 

[Malon]

Yeah, I spend all my time checking out dusty dildos and rusty handcuffs in Soho...

:CStern

Not on my watch. :CHappy

battle of waterloo
Date 18 June 1815

You what?

even then the battle of waterloo was no big deal. The allies outnumbered the french 2 to 1 almost.

3 to 1 if you count total army size of all the coalition combined

Meaning it has a long history and thus only let in the very best.

Grenadier guards stopped Napoleon's Imperial Guards during there advance.

Also anyone with a basic understanding of the battle understands the French were outnumbered only after having at the British for hours and hours.

Wellington> Napoleon
