Usually, they are out of stock of T-shirts though.<br /><br /><br />I thought the term wife-beater came from the show "Cops." Named after all the guys wearing only and undershirt when the cops dragged them off.<br /><br /><br />The 1996 "Doctor Who" movie. I was excited when I heard about this. Much less so when it came out. The 7th Doctor's death was dumb.

It's like twenty minutes by car from Stonehenge, and you can actually touch the stones there, and there's a pub, and a short walk in the countryside, and a Wiccan bookshop, and it's SO quintessentially English. I can NOT recommend this village-cum-hamlet enough. You HAVE TO GO. <br /><br />I really hope you read this comment... how else do I let you know I'm serious about this?

I LOVE mazes- the one at Longleat is very very very good and also the longest hedge maze in europe i believe, so very Triwizardy. However unless you are planning on visiting the SW which you should to see Stonehenge, Bath, Clifton Suspension bridge, Shakeaway (google) etc, there is a big maze at Hampton Court Palace which will be closer to you... and nice to see King Henry VIII palace. I'm assuming you've learnt about him, since he's probably along with Elizabeth the First, one of our most famous monarchs. <br /><br />Wifebeater? i'm with alex, its a vest! <br /><br />saw someone recommend Nandos- you should also check out Wagamama. Charlie will agree with me. <br /><br />also, please visit the english coast if you can. english coastlines are spectacular, especially the Cornish one, but I doubt you'll have time to visit Cornwall, but you should for a real Cornish cream tea, authentic cornish pasty and clotted cream icecream.<br /><br /><br />ooo i will stop suggesting in a mintute, but I do love my country, make sure you see some idyllic english villages, eg. cotswolds, and visit the peak district, or dartmout- beautifully wild- and the lake district.<br /><br />The lamb-banana in Liverpool is awesome too.<br /><br />OK I'm stopping :PCaliowinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04628192864835450739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1747267274088670063.post-58268180379725543492009-08-07T17:35:47.760-07:002009-08-07T17:35:47.760-07:00Haha, that's so cool that your studying in Lon...Haha, that's so cool that your studying in London!

If you're...Glad you're having a good time!<br /><br />If you're looking for places round London that are nice, Notting Hill is gorgeous. You can see the door that's in the film, and there's loads of second hand shops - there's one called the Book Exchange (I think) where I got loads of Buffy comics dirt cheap!<br /><br />If you're looking for a day trip, Brighton is only an hour away from Victoria. Go on a sunny day! There are the North Laines, which are 4 whole streets of little independent shops, no big chains allowed, and the Lanes which are a little more commerical, and of course the pier :) you can get fish and chips and go to the old penny arcade! :)<br /><br />If you want any more info on Brighton I live here, so lemme know! :)Ellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607654339165665081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1747267274088670063.post-80279469784048428472009-08-07T16:54:10.772-07:002009-08-07T16:54:10.772-07:00I love you and your obsession with Goosebumps.
