Post by: beast5680 on October 10, 2007, 19:31:54
and no i,m not puss in boots :lol:
Just got back from London where we went to see my Father get his MBE today :D  been inside buckingham palace 8)  absolutly stunning inside we were all very proud as we watched him receive it from Her majesty
Also got to meet Barry Humphries(Dame Edna) and watch Sir Ian Botham receive his knighthood
Been a while since i,ve been up to London on a train but they seem to be all clean and run on time now :shock:
As a bonus the wife took me on the London eye as well :D  there are some stunning views to be had from up there worth having a look if your up there and the queue was only 5 mins :D
