I have nothing clever to say about this thread.

I would say something clever here, but then the King's Cross thread would feel left out.

Did you know that they say chocolate milk was invented so that they could sell milk that had blood in it? I'm almost positive it's an urban legend, but I still call it 'bloody milk'. And I say it with an English accent.

Hee. I just got really tickled thinking about poking one of the cars and saying that I poked London in the eye.

He's the biggest ben there is. Great big ben.

All the pictures of kids visiting the castle show them in school uniforms. Do you think we need Fandom High uniforms?

You can buy a tiny Watson bear in the gift shop. And if you do, you must buy a Holmes too. Otherwise they would be lonely.

I'm always afraid they're going to blink or say something to me. Seriously.

Pictures of English people. Personally I'd save the money and look at all the people on the street.

Like Central Park, only with less murders and hobos. I would hope.

I kept misspelling museum as muesli. Maybe I'm hungry?

Go! Visit! Embrace Diversity!

Go where you want to go! Do what you want to do!

Within reason of course. Or you know, not.

I'm using my freak icon. Because I really don't have a reason to use it otherwise.

Entrance to the National Portrait Gallery is free *grins*

You kill me with the thread comments. :D

Nadia spent much of her last day in London wandering around, and found her way to the Tate Modern.

There was something pleasing about the collections of non-representational art, though the surrealism was a tad disturbing.

And she had no clue why someone would decide massive piles of white box shapes was considered "art".

Marty stepped up behind Nadia and tilted his head. "Why would someone consider that massive piles of white boxes are 'art'?"

A very tall man in a sharp looking suit comes down the sidewalk in the most extraordinary fashion.

It looks like he's doing some kind of riverdance on crack. His torso stays bolt upright and he looks ahead. He travels in a strait line, but his long legs dance out in all directions.

He's obviously on his way to work, but where could such a fellow work?

He passes a lone man standing on a corner across from Parlement, the lone man has an animated conversation with a London Bobby, and is then joind by a midget butler. They run across the street together and get on a bus which drives away.

Having checked it's new location before she set off, Elizabeth made her way to the Portland Gallery (http://www.portlandgallery.com/index.php?page=location). She spent most of her time there in the Vettriano Room (http://www.portlandgallery.com/index.php?page=jackvettriano), noting that there was to be an exhibition of his work April/May time and pouting slightly at it.

Nadia tilted her head one way. Then she tilted it the other. "I think," she said, "that if we knew that we'd understand a lot more about the world in general."

Marty tilted his head in the other direction as well. "Huh. Well if Coach Ash were here? I'm pretty sure he claim this as being 'NOT ART!' and then hit on one of the tour guides."

Marty then began to look at some of the other exhibits. "So what do you think of our little field to England?"

Nadia followed, also peering at the other exhibits. The garden gnome made of cigarettes ~~which probably isn't actually there any more since I saw it in 2002, but whatever~~ was particularly strange. "It's fun. I love getting to ~~break into~~ see new places. And being a boy for a day? Definitely an experience." She shrugged. "It's tiring though. I'll be glad to get back to Fandom."

"Same here," Marty said with a nod. "Except for the gender switching thing."

Marty paused for a second and looked over at Nadia. "So what did you think of the whole gender switching experience?"

Nadia blushed ever so slightly, since ranting about how she didn't understand how boys dealt with that was not something she really wanted to discuss with Marty. "It was strange. Somehow . . . freeing? Before we found out about Angel, I could pretend to be someone completely different."
