OK.....yes.......I found Alana and Steph. Alana also showed me a place to get relatively cheap beer. The Weatherspoon seems OK and the pints were A HELL OF A LOT CHEAPER than the 5 quid I paid across from Victoria Station. Just so you Londoners know.....I was posting from an internet cafe just across from the station. If you leave from Burger King, cross the street and then go right it's only about 1/2 a block.
Anyway, just one question. How the hell do you people afford ANYTHING in that town. I went out last night. Rode the tube all over, spent 6.50 (BP) on some Haddock, and stopped at numerous pubs along the way for refreshments. I spent about $100 USD last night!!!!!! I might have spent less in New York.
I did get a laugh thinking of all of you today. I was filling out my customs form and got to the box that says "Have you had any close contact with farms, fields, or LIVE STOCK Of course.....I said no.....;) I have several more trips over so the fun is just begining!!!!!!!

Ah yes, good old weatherspoons. Its a ntional chain of pubs known for cheap beer :)
If anyone else needs to use the internet at victoria, rather than walking as far as clay did, there are a number of internet payphones dotted around the station, much easier ;)

Also, there is a weatherspoons on the station, you should have gone there :P

The tubes ok if you have a season pass or something, then you can ride limitless for a set price.

Yup, its very expensive here. No do you understand why everyone in the UK moans? That and our customer service is shite. £6.50 still seems pretty high for fish and chips though. Trqditionaly after drinking, you should have gone for a kebab... ;)

Where abouts are you staying? how long are you here for?

If you want some drinking fun you could try a little game I know called "The Circle Line". Basically you travel round the circle line stopping at every station and having a pint in the nearest pub to the station. Should take you all day considering there are about 35 of them!!!

BTW I have not tried this myself!!

Actually......it doesn't seem to be any worse than the New York/New Jersey area which is STUPID expensive by American standards. :D

Better yet, good, late-night Indian curry!!! I've never had better Indian food than in London.

Also, just to chime in, I never spent as many consecutive nights drunk as when I lived there for six weeks. You Brits know how to drink! Every time, someone would buy a round, then someone else, and so on, until it was my turn, and by then I could barely order...

I love being drunk in London - cabs everywhere, and unlike American cabbies, they know exactly where they're going. 'Course, that just makes it easier to stay out waaay past my bedtime.

I miss London. :(

you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Funny you mentioned that. During some part of our stumble back to VS. I remember walking past an Indian Restaurant. I mentioned that I had never been to one before. My friend told the story of ordering the hottest thing on the menu......:D We stopped at Burger King in VS instead.

Ugh. I am so disappointed in you. London curry is possibly the most delicious thing you could ever have after a night of carousing. And it's only hot if you order it that way. Silly boy. :P

Silly silly boy in deed...

And the crumier looking the curry place is, the better...

Just order a nice, easy to gigest Vindalou. Its one of the less spicy meal...

Well....we were in a bit of a hurry to get home. It was already 11PM or later and we had to be up at 6AM. [:/]



No excuses will be accepted. Wuss.


;)

Alright, next time I hop across the pond, you'll have to see if you can't wrangle a flight too, and we'll do that circle drinking thing, and demolish some Vindalou. Deal?

Who else is in?

Well hurry up! Cause I'll be there next week...and the week after.....and the week after that....and the week after that.....and then I think I'm done with London for awhile. B|


Gah! No can do so soon, my friend. Fundage is committed.

Can I trust you to experience the curry without me? (might want a local to guide ewe to the best spots. Try the lamb dishes - they're delicious.)

It's OK.....I have a cast iron stomach when it comes to hot food!
