 It's been years, just remember that I enjoyed it.
	It's been years, just remember that I enjoyed it. Another worst: The Whisky experience near Edinburgh castle. So shit I spent about half the time nearly crying with laughter at how shit it was, which made it worth the money.

	I've not been back to Stonhenge since you can walk amongst the stones again.Am v keen to do that asap. Last time I went was in the 80s, to see how close we could get on Midsummer's eve, without getting turned back by the police. It was a like an annual sporting event in the grubby cunt community.

	Yep. That's the only reason I'm running 26.2 miles, so I get free entry.I don't know if it would be easier to just pay the entry fee, since it costs £25 to register for the marathon. But I reckon I'll drink that much lucozade so I'll break even.

	Alt: A number of years ago, the ex and I went to a teddy bear museum.She was into the Steiff ones at the time. Anyway, the museum turned out to be a creepy old woman's front room, stuffed to the fucking gills with ratty old bears and the tour consisted of her telling us how Clive, the dark brown moth-eaten old cunt at the back, had been put there because he'd got into the biscuit tin again.
Completely barking fucking mad, she was.
And so was the owner of the museum LOL
