    I can see my house from there!

    Awesome, nice site. What camera?

    That's excellent. Saved myself about £25.00 and a couple of hours of queuing too. Thanks Graham.

    I can see all the buildings okay, but where's the view? Do I need to update flash player to install the lanscape patch?

    Nice one, and saved me a few quid. Pity London isn't much to look at from high up compared to (say) New York: something like the observation deck on the Empire State Building - now that's worth paying to go up.

    Me and Miss6899 had a walk up to Hampstead Heath last night, to watch the laser show (marking the official opening of the Shard)...

    It was WANK.

    Still, we had a nice walk and we had fun watching the bats hunting.

    I hear a lot of the shows on the Heath end up like that! :shock:. Allegedly.

    You should be careful who you listen to.

    Slightly OT but is that you in your avatar photo, Ben? What exactly are you doing? Just wondering...

    It is me. I'm putting on arm-warmers. My OH took it ad-hoc and I thought it would make a nice avatar. :)

    It's like the eye of Sauron. Wherever you go, the bloody thing is looking at you.

    Can even see it from Richmond Park.

    Drove back into town along the A40 and you can see the damn thing from out at Northolt.

    My current theory is that it's really a spaceship - Ark 1 for the UK lizards to evacuate when it all goes tits up.

    Funny you should say that.
