"James' traditional homemade mixed vege pickle with way too much dill cos' my hand slipped", as eaten by royalty. Although admittedly it didn't take all weekend.

how long d'you have to wait? In 5 years time - you might try it, love that much dill, and never remember just how much it really was...

in about a month's time. I don't think I'll miss the volume of dill - there's a lot of greenery in that jar!

I once took some kids to a sleepover there with my g/f. It was a complete riot.
Although some lucky ones got to sleep next to the moon capsule, we instead got 'sleds through the ages' and a snoring bloke whose kids ran around screaming all night until I had words with them.
g/f and I got caught by a journalist behind one of the exhibits with a smuggled in bottle of whisky. We shared.
Watching 300odd kids doing origami at 8am before the museum re-opened was fun though.

I really want to do one of those sleepover museum things - the nat history museum would be cool for that too - i just think it would be weirdly creepy but great at the same time.
Not so sure about the kids tho. That's the only drawback!

at a zoo near reading. It was really amusing dribbling on the grass the morning after and watching all these people turning up to see the lions and things.

I remember once the annual Thorpe Park staff 5-a-side football match/pissup leaving people sleeping all over the park - in rides, in tents, in Mr Rabbit's house etc.
We all then had to get up and do a full day's work before being able to go home for a shower even :( Ah to be that young again that you can just shrug it off.
Particularly nice was the poor sod who decided to have a go on the enclosed spiral tube kiddies slide, after someone had been sick down it.
