Looks like a swell time was had by all - will have to convince the soon to be Mrs that we need to head to England at some point.

Not that much convincing for England will be needed - she\'s more of an Anglophile than me - getting her to an event may be tricky though.lol

Okay, I\'ve sorted some pics out of games that were there but I\'ll put those in a seperate thread.

EDIT: I didn\'t know you\'d gotten engaged, Lloyd. Congratulations. :beer:

I\'m home, tired and just wanted to pop in and see how much abuse Mike\'s face took. Looks like you guys are in top form.

Squiggy\'s mom looked like that because I gave him 300 pounds that day for a commission and Squiggy went and spent all of it PLUS about another 100 pounds of HER money too.

Thanks for posting all the names. I can never keep anyone straight unless I\'ve had some private time with them. ;) Plus between saying hi, seeing so many wonderful paint jobs, and meeting so many fabulous people I was a bit overwhelmed.

Congrats on the engagement Steelcult! When\'s the big day?

All of the money was mine, but some of it is in a bank account, and does as such require my dearly beloved credit card on legs, oops, mother, to bring it forth:p And to be fair (or is it unfair? :p ) my mother always looks like a zombie in photo\'s :p

Well, it was unofficial until my divorce was final - which makes sense.

Date will prolly be next time I am home in Sept/Oct - but may depend on having to do something via the net due to insurance issues.

Here\'re a few pics of the first hotel we stayed at in Knightsbridge, and some of the surrounding area. The building across the road with the restaurant on the top floor is Harvey Nichols.

An ugly hotel from the outside, much better inside.

Okay, batch number two of pics. Hyde Park.

London-trip-029w.jpg

Statue in front of the gates to the park. The building to the right of us was the French Embassy and the one to the left was the Kuwait Embassy (I think).

The calm before the storm.

Then deciding to dive head-first into the ground, roll around and generally go stark raving looney.

I\'m the one in the yellow t and tattoo on the arm.

You seem to be one of the only people to get a pic of me. Normally I manage to see the camera and run and hide lol

Here\'re the pics of our trip to the Tower of London. There\'s a lot of pics (there were way more before I whittled them down) so I\'ll put them up in three seperate posts.
