hell, go to london for the day. It's not that much longer travel time (seriously) and it's better to wander around in. We'll drag 40 on teh eye!

oo000ooo, Ive walked past it a few times and planned my terroist attacks but never been on it.

The base has like an underground metal center with 4 poles coming down to it, if you blew them up the eye would roll off into the city :o

actually no, the way it's built you would need to take out the motor bearings at the bottom, which would be a task in itself. Then you would need to take out the support, at which point it would promptly fall into the thames.

if you took out the support first, then took out the bearings, it would either fall into the river, fall onto the plaza, roll off and hit westmister bridge and fall over, or roll the other way straight into the river (it bends you know).

So either way, some big ass destruction, how cool would it be watching it trounce London

What's the eye?

Oooh what's Nottingham like, does Robin Hood live there?

I wouldn't be flying from here, my friend. I would be flying from Amsterdam, because I'd go there from Miami, Florida, set up myself at the flat, and then fly over to Eng-uh-land to meet up with you chaps.

You are the locals, so it's really up to you, it matters not to me where I go in England as it will be my first time there. Will I need to take a bus or something?

aaah fark... from amsterdam you could land just about anywhere. It depends how you plan on getting home again, since as I said transatlantics only go from Heathrow, Manchester, Cardiff and Edinburgh.

Fly into london, I've got no problems going down except everything costs a bloody fortune there.

Yeah see we aren't millionaires, spending a bloody fortune doesn't sound like a good time to me.

Bottle of coke sells for about £2 ($3.34)

WHAT!?!? THAT'S RIDICULOUS! It's $0.89 here.

like he said... everything costs a fortune

the eye of london is the big wheel on the right

and the big clock is Big Ben. The very bottom bridge is Westminster Bridge.

MOVIE BIT:
The entrance to the 'abandoned tube station' seen in Die Another Day is at the right hand side (as you look at that picture) of westminster bridge.

Big Ben isn't actually that big :/

surprisingly not.

Ooh ooh, can we drag 40 up all the steps in St. Paul's???

Ive been right to the top of St. Pauls... that took quite a lot of climbing

it was worth it though

one hell of a view

yeah...

we can show him all the sights
big ben
the eye
st pauls
the dome

etc

lol

the dome was OK actually, but nobody really cared.

yeah, i went to the dome and i really liked it but all my mates said it was crap so i kinda just agreed and never mentioned it again :/

i might have to go to bloody england sometime as well... i have no idea how id get there, nor when, but i am currently planning on perhaps spending a term over in europe during college (i think it would be fricken awesome to minor in a language, like german, probably... a major in somethin like comp science, or physics, or something like that, and a minor in german, how bizarre )

apparently german is an easy language to learn

it is, quite

im taking third year next year... for some reason it just comes to me easily, i have a good memory for things like vocabulary and for most grammar

that is a talent i do not have :/

some ppl have a hard time with it...

INTENSE!!!!! UPDATE TEH POST COUNTS!!!!

German is OK, it's just some of the more obscure things like irregular verbs which always take the dative as long as they're not in a clause involving a first person past participle.

Im ok at french but ive never been taught german before :/
as soon as the post counts are updated i will know how far i am from the number 10 spot of the top 10 overall posters
