Express By Holiday Inn Stevenage

... Theatre the biggest of the bunch and there are about 5 dedicated threatres in the complex. Sir Laurence invoked one of his ideas on the complex; the notion of not selling tix in the first and last row in the audience; these 30 or so walk up sales would inject a more 'excited/driven/enthusiastic' audience member, according to Olivier, because they were either spur of the moment participants or people who had queued for hours to get tix and ...

... give this a miss, so I went alone, paying a discounted 20 pounds for my 6th row seat, and didn't regret it at all. I took Lopis's word that it's a must-see.<br><br><br><br>Some bits in the show:<br><br><br><br>* There are Bert &amp; Ernie -type characters (Rod &amp; Nicky), where Rod's an obviously closeted homosexual but completely defensive, so Nicky teases the **** out of him, singing that he's not suggesting Rod's gay but if he were gay he'd be totally ...

... in the National Gallery, and after a walk around there, we went looking for a place to eat .. Adela gave us a list of interesting places where to eat, visit ... We did it ALL! Take something in Rain Forest, we went to Madame Tussauds, the Sherlock Holmes Museum, Regents Park, bought tickets for the Phantom of the Opera (and we, of course!), We buy a lot! I saw the statue of Peter Pan (lovely)... (IT WILL CONTINUE)

... NEVER again! That particular "restaurant" would have to be the dirtiest filthiest hole of a place we have ever gone into. The food was dry and tasted old. The lettuce was starting to wilt and the coke just didn't taste like coke should. The smell of the place was similar to that of a subway (but not in Paris) and we were also slightly concerned of a rumble occuring with a couple of people sitting behind us (who were completely harmless but definitely dressed the ...

... with people climbing on the lions (despite ropes and signs), and it is no longer appropriate to feed the pigeons. Walked down "The Strand" a little ways and looked in some souvenir shops. Had dinner downtown to avoid going back in rush hour, but even after 6pm the trains were still packed. Initial impressions of London (maybe because most of it has been the view from the trains): crowed, ugly, unfriendly!

... the penultimate leg of the journey to the summit. And the wind ripped across the edge. We decided to play it safe and retreat. We did a minor detour on the way back up to the quarry, but by then we were wet and miserable and both found our waterproof leggings were not waterproof.

... in his Boney M mix-tape! I was on the Thai Disco-Bus from Hell. Hearing a middle-aged Thai man hum along to the lyrics "Rasputin: Russia's greatest love-machine" must remain one of this journey's highlights. The bus dumped us unceremoniously at the airport and we made our way to the British Airways check-in gate which looked more like a scene from the Menin Gate. After enduring two hours of standing around having no idea about what was ...

... deranged fever, like being on drugs, they would in chorus, chant some hippy **** about peace and love. Apparently, we should refer to this Dark Age of learning as the Renaissance. Thankfully, this persistent fever was finally eradicated by medical science with a substance commonly known as Disco in the year 1977. To keep myself at a safe distance from the above mentioned, I am writing this whilst my eye occasionally glances at a palm-sized 80 GB sound storage device ...

... 15 flights, 48 buses, 5 ferries and 7 trains (the last of which taking a wopping 101 hours!) To rest my weary bones from all that travelling I have slept in 108 different beds - not to say im easy or anything ;) and thankfully I have only shared a couple of those with bedbugs which were friendly enough ..... Anyway, travelling ...

Last night instead of going to Eqqus, we ended up at Cabaret instead...which was amazing. We got FRONT ROW, the Emcee shoke the hand of the guy next to me during Willkommen. I was so close when someone got thrown across the stage their foot was right in my face. I laughed during Money, I cried during What Would You Do?, I got goosebumps during Cabaret, and felt sick to my stomach during the Finale. It ...
