Indeed that was! Very, very heavy! :blink:

That cruise ship sounds interesting. Wonder where it came from. You must let us have the low down when you have investigated! ;)

So, Britain continues to bomb Gaddafi, but his son gets free Olympics tickets? Did I hear that correctly on the news this morning?

I thought his son was head of the Olympic Committee or something?

This might be in the wrong thread so sorry if it is. I'm going to London for 2 days in July; Is it worth getting an Oyster card? I want to go to Kensington Palace, Buckingham Palace, Portobello Road and Camden Market (first 2 for me and second 2 for daughter). Am I being ridiculous or is it possible to fit it all in? I've got loads of stamina and can walk all day long but sometimes I have unrealistic expectations. Any tips greatly appreciated.
