Had a drizzly day out with the family in the big smoke yesterday
Natural History Museum, Science Museum, Embankment Gardens, Fleet Street, Trafalgar Square, some bizarre shop based entirely around M&Ms and Baker Street. The children got to build a spinosaurus and got their picture taken with one of those living statues. Got home and watched Exorcist III and Halloween 6 then forced myself to stop watching Ginger Snaps 2 and go to bed.

Alt: Roary has better comic relief thanks to comedy stylings of Molecombe the mechanic. Or something.

You managed to fit all that in to one day in London?
A bit like the american tourists who "do" England in 3 days.

...and still have time for a delightful dinner at an Angus Steak House.

I am strangely attracted to those places
out of morbid curiousity really

These places facinate me. I have no idea why.
Perhaps it's the 80's menu or the booths with red velvet seats, the dessert (should be pudding) trolley or the look of boredom and desperation on the faces of those dining there.

And the microscopic slivers of shoe leather sold as 'steaks'

We've been to both museums a few times before so we didn't do every section
The main reason we were there was for the spinosaurus thing that the BBC were doing at the NHM to tie in with Planet Dinosaur. The rest was little bits of sightseeing here and there. I'll be trying to cover the Monopoly board in two weeks time so I'll see how long that takes.

My friend is marketing manager at the NHM, cool job

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 31 Oct 2011, 9:19, Reply)

That is a cool job.

Except you have to work in marketing.
Even there, I'd go batshit mental and slaughter hundreds after a couple of weeks of "marketing meetings"

I believe if you were slaughtering other marketing people
This would be classified as justifiable homicide under UK law. You may even be allowed more time to finish the job off.
