Having been D/A'ed in absence circa 95 and not ever meeting other Dub's as I had moved away I always had a stupid on/off relationship with my family, and when my father passed in 05 (elder) the idiots from his Cong all completely shunned me at his funeral and seem to take delight in doing so(twats) so the Wimbledon Cong ; you can be proud of yourselves, so unless things have changed in the last 3 years still the same here

so i am planning a trip for next year.

First and foremost England/London is very expensive so depending on your budget can effect the quality of your trip,I'd go for a 5 day stay in London and get a good package in a 3/4 star hotel in the centre, Mayfair is good location with some decent hotels, The Hilton Green Park, The Chesterfield, The Washington The Flemings, The Holiday Inn Berkley St, The Cumberland, The Mount Royal, those 2 being on Oxford St for good shopping,check out the Art galleries, The White Cube, Hoxton, The National Gallery, The Tate Gallery and The Tate Modern, do Big Ben,Parliament Sq and Westminster Abbey(all close to each other) and then walk up to Trafalgar Sq , where you can walk up to Convent Garden. For shopping check out Oxford St,(for Selfridges , John Lewis etc)Bond St, Regent St, and Knights bridge for Harrods, taxis are also very expensive so if there are 3 of you or more the cost is not as painful, this is very important if you want to travel by bus ,and tube" buy a daily travel card" (zone 1 approx £5/day) because single cash journeys on bus and tube are ludicrously over priced! For eating London has the best top end fine dining places in the World there are more Michelin starred places here than you can shake a stick at , but again very expensive, Gordon Ramsey has a fine portfolio of places , The Maze Grill being the hot place at the moment, his place in Royal Hospital Road will make your eyes water at the prices, but there are good Italian ,(Zafferano,Assagi,Senor Sassi,Tutu's,Scalini's,Location Locatelli,Cicconis expensive, Riva, etc) Chinese (Hakkasan and Yauatcha)with cheaper places in Chinatown and even British places (Seashell ,Fish and Chips on Lisson Grove a good choice), Then if time permitting head up to York, Edinburgh, Bath ( for the Roman Spa) , Cornwall is great for a beach , good surfing there but you need good weather and the water is freezing!! Enjoy! (edit!) how could I forget the Museums, The British Museum, The Science Museum, The Natural History Museum, The Victoria and Albert Museum and finally High Tea at the Ritz book up for that though!

Crumpet, The Hilton Park Lane overlooks Buck House not The Langham Hilton which is in the middle of a big refurb, also an excellent restaurant there,

I wonder what the angry, destructive god Yahweh has in store for us? If we give up certain things, I wonder?

last week hambeak was in the hospital having had another stroke and i believe heart attack.

i am not sure if he is following on the board, but he may be at home by now.

i stopped by his work seeing he was determined to be back at work...two days after the hospital...i told him not to, but you know he is stubborn.

That is so good to hear that from you Lance being ex Gilead etc, your exposure doesn't get much bigger then this, that is right up with Franz, Penton, Gruss, Olaf Johnson, in lifting the lid on the WTS fraud,,,,,,,,, more please, I have been out for 16 years but your words excite me to a degree when I originally left
