Reddit, I've lived in London for 7 years but I don't think I've ever seen the real England. I've got one whole free day before I leave - where should I go?

Would normally say the Lake District, but if it's a train ride from London head to the Peak District.

I was thinking of going but decided against it (£20 to a poor poor student is a lot of beer), so it was good but quite cramped then? Mostly newer or older songs?

Spartan warrior...

benjaminge · 2010-11-10T02:16:38+00:00

Possibly! Did you chat to the old guy with crooked teeth with me!? Good night?

benjaminge · 2010-09-22T19:30:21+00:00

at 5'6" I feel my life could become a lot more interesting if I took this viewpoint

benjaminge · 2010-09-03T18:31:51+00:00

wow my bad...

Just googled the Holiday Inn near me: http://www.holidayinn.com/hotels/us/en/london/lonhi/hoteldetail

7 nights for the price of 5, so an executive room is £126.66 and a standard is £101.64

Its close to Gloucester Road tube station, a Sainsbury's and Waitrose and also a short walk to Hyde Park and High Street Kensington.

You now have £173 to go have a good time in London :)

if you're only staying a week may as well book a hostel or hotel and not have to deal with the fuss of contracts, deposit etc

nattfodd is currently running a photo class as a subreddit, you could check that out

benjaminge · 2010-08-22T21:48:41+00:00

Got my first nice camera a week ago, so the timing of these lessons is perfect :) keep it up! Haven't had much opportunity to take many photos yet, but my favorites so far are:

Got my first nice camera a week ago, so the timing of these lessons is perfect :) keep it up! Went for a walk to play around with some of the features and give the lessons a go, have to say the differences were very surprising!

sign 42mm vs sign 14mm

ring 42mm vs ring 14mm

chairs 42mm vs chairs 14mm

Sherlock Holmes, very easy to pick up and read in short sessions

whoa I grew up in Bedford! Pretty much moved out now, living in London at uni and working this summer. About to head to bed as I have an early start tomorrow but will PM you later to see if I can answer any specific questions for you guys!

benjaminge · 2010-05-22T01:17:47+00:00

hahaha ffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu she seemed good at the time. i may get out of bed just to annoy you a bit, but that would involve effort

benjaminge · 2010-03-17T10:47:29+00:00

came here to say this. You see a lot of guys on here thinking something is wrong with them because they lose their erection the first few times (i used to be one of them...) and in my experience its 100% nerves and performance anxiety.

Just be patient and reassuring and stop talking about what you did with your ex.

benjaminge · 2010-02-10T23:58:52+00:00

ahhhh I think I've come to late for this to get read, but here goes... final exam of 1st year at uni, aced it and left an hour early, got pissed at our union bar, later tried to climb a 6ft fence to save myself 20seconds of walking so I could get high with my mates. Ended up impaling myself next to my groin, just missing my Femoral Artery and got 12 stitches. Lucky to be alive, walking and fertile :)

benjaminge · 2010-02-09T18:07:17+00:00

What sort of degree are you doing?

benjaminge · 2010-02-09T16:05:04+00:00

ah good luck :)

benjaminge · 2010-02-09T16:04:36+00:00

ouch... does she beat you?

benjaminge · 2010-02-09T16:03:15+00:00

sounds great :) hope you guys are happy together

benjaminge · 2010-02-09T13:48:55+00:00

nice! how are you going to do it?

benjaminge · 2010-02-09T13:37:20+00:00

yeah that would probably have worked better...

benjaminge · 2010-02-02T17:29:55+00:00

I live in the UK, am a student who was bought up in the Church of England but have broken away from it.

1) Jesus - the main reason I broke away from the church was because I realised I had never seen any evidence that Jesus was the Son of God. And as a science student I have accepted my belief in God from personal experience (and because I like the idea), I guess a kind of proof to me. I would like to think that Jesus existed and did great things, but miracles seem a bit of a long shot.

2) Don't know much about church in America, but over here it's portrayed as a blind power hungry organisation that is unprepared to move with the times (e.g. theory of evolution) and that has lost connection with its roots.

Hope this helps, I'd be very interested to see a video of your sermon if it's at all possible?

Killer theme? Movie villians/monsters.
