How far are you willing to go?
I'm assuming this is from North London. If you're willing to drive for a while then York's worth a visit.

By "if you're willing to drive for a while"
I do, of course, mean "if wanderlust is willing to drive for a while".

York was my first idea actually.
Being of Norse stock I have a great interest in visiting, and haven't since I was very small.

I would love to go to the Viking museum there

Animatronic Vikings are great.
Sadly the reek of shit is not artificial.

that reminds me
where I am on secondment, the laptops and external hard drives and stuff need to be kept in a safe (thieving public sector workers) and when you open the safe it absolutely reeks of jizz. I swear some filthy fucker has been cracking one off into the safe every night.

That's alarming
But not as alarming as the lack of 'safe sex' jokes.

I can't believe I hadn't thought of that

York's one of my favourite cities
If you're there for a while and fancy getting all Kate Bush, then the moors are worth a poke about in, too.

As Labs says, the Jorvik Viking Centre is top drawer.

York is lovely and within range of pleasant wanderings along Hadrian's Wall.
Go there.

all the men in the viking village display they have in the Jorvik centre look like my dad

Are you suggesting he knobbed all their mothers back in the day?
Is your dad a kind of Nordic Screamin' Jay Hawkins or something?

Yes
or alternatively, suggesting that the people who created the figures weren't very inventive.

I thought you meant the staff.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 5 Jan 2011, 11:06, Reply)

I can understand how you would make that mistake

York is class for a wander around and lots of pints
Do it!

I had a weekend shopping in York at the beginning of December
I didn't get to see too much apart from the shopping district, but it looked reet nice.

And as I recall, when I were nobbut a lad (or lass, maybe, I forget) I had trips to both the Yorvik centre and the National Railway museum. Both were fun.

And there was a top restaurant type place we went in this last time, fairly close to the minster.

EDIT: here it is...

Any decisions on where we're going next time?

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 5 Jan 2011, 11:16, Reply)

definitely the Pool
I'm in charge of booking accommodation, and I have some ideas which I'll run past you soon. We want somewhere right in the middle of the shops, so we can stagger back periodically with armfuls of bags.

Also, I got your text yesterday. I'll send you an email with what I've got.

Yay!
Such a shame I won't have my roomy pad in town anymore.
Or maybe by then your brother will be off on a World odyssey and I'll still be there in a cobwebbed wedding dress, with Tigger in a tuxedo and kilt.
