London, here I come!

[Rambuchan]

@ Team Kan: Go, go, go!!! And congrats!

@ YNCS: You seem as obsessed with Dennis as I do with Maggy!

 

[Perfection]

You get served Mashed Peas occasionally in London.

They should do that in the states.

@ Team Kan: Go, go, go!!! And congrats!

Why thanks ol' chap, I appreciate it.

To GeneralZed though, I feel we should mention the entire range of choices at a Fish and Chip shop. It's enormous and a national treasure. I personally enjoy either Smoked Sausag or Scampi (and chips), but your own preference is important. Don't think you have to have fish

 

[Rambuchan]

Actually the best Fish & Chips restaurant in London is "Master Super Fish", SE1. I can testify to that. You can see details on it, together with 9 of the best here:

Now the world is full of wonders going back through history
But there's one thing above all else that's a mystery to me.
When Margaret goes to bed at night and removes her armour plate
And demands that her poor husband do a service for the state.

(Chorus)
Oh how does Dennis do it? Does she tie him to the bed?
Or does she try to fool him with a bag upon her head?
Or maybe she arouses him with leather, whips and chains?
Or invites some kinky friends around to have some fun and games?
Perhaps those lurid details should be left to history.
That he can do the job at all is what bewilders me.

When Cleopatra ruled the Nile her charms were known world wide
And no man in his right mind would have shunned her as a bride.
But when it comes to Margaret there could be no buts or ifs
The men would run stampeding just like lemmings off a cliff.

Now if Margaret got frustrated she could take a sudden fit,
And push the deadly button which would blow us all to bits.
But Dennis never lets us down, he keep her satisfied.
You could very nearly say that we all owe that man our lives.

My financée and I enjoy shopping in Camden when we visit London.

Whenever I go to London I make sure to head to Camden Market (Camden Town tube station)

It's a really cool place to go, loadsa goths, stoners and punks and alike around and a good variety of shops/market stalls

 

[nonconformist]

It is traditional to go to Brixton wearing bedsheets, and a pointed hood.

 

[GeneralZed]

Thanks for all your replys, even to those not so serious .

Well, firstly I want to visit the many museums/parks stated above and this I'll be doing during the day. But now what about the evening? I thought of going to some comedy club and watch some real british humour, but which one?

 

[Rambuchan]

The best comedy places are:

The Comedy Store ~ Haymarket House, 1a Oxendon Street, London. SW1Y 4EE

Jongleurs Club ~ In Bow, Battersea and also in Camden.

Top one is very central and famous. But both have hosted top flight comedians and still do today.


@ YNCS: Very funny lyrics . Reminds me of Monty Python and Kevin Bloody Wilson.

And how expensive is London's public transportation? Where can I find good food? Should I really "Fish and Chips" and "Mars bars"?

Dont forget the usual stupid tourist things such as buckingham palace, changing of the guards, london buses etc.
And remember, we all speak like hugh grant, so if you can try and put on that accent, you'll be treated much better.

 

[GeneralZed]

Sheesh... so I better start trainning, my spoken English isn't the best (with some American accent). :shakehead: I really like Scottish accent, but it would be quite hilarious to listen me speaking that.

However, I just realised I forgot the "try" in the "Where can I find good food? Should I really "Fish and Chips" and "Mars bars"?" sentence.

 

[YNCS]

Walk up to any Englishman or woman and say "pliz, sir or lady, where can I find eat fish or chip?" Listen to their directions, then say "zank you too much" and give them a tip, ½p is about right. At this point, move slightly away from the other person, take out your copy of The Times, read the front page, and say "Tony Blair deserves to be shot immediately if not sooner!" Then walk away, following the directions given to you.

It's important to say the "sir or lady" regardless of the gender of the person spoken to. You want them to think you're an ignorant foreigner. This will excuse your presumption about talking to a complete stranger.

 

[Gelion]

That must be the funniest thing in this thread so far. But you will not treat poor Swiss tourists this way, beware

 

[GeneralZed]

I may be Swiss, but I can pronounce the "th" not like my countrymen .

London has some of the greatest airports: My priority would be to hop on a plane and spend the time elsewhere.

Someone should organise a professional tour of London for CFC Members
