Babel-17 the hat is the nicest present I have ever had. So sophisticated and yet so functional. Just what a fish needs. Please can you put a bottle of the beer in place for me.
Thanks

Cheers!
Of course, you know Samuel Pepys knew this area well. He saw the first 'Punch and Judy' show in England here.

Did they rename 'The Punch and Judy Show'?
I think they sacked Punch. It's now called 'The Richard and Judy Show'
ROFL so hard that tears start streaming down his face

Wandering around at night when there's no-one around is good to.
The buildings can be quite spooky in the dark when they're empty.

Both very true.
Indeed as someone who used to decide to walk into work in the run up to Christmas before 7 o'clock London is a very magical place early in the morning.

Here's the web cam link again for anyone who missed it eatlier on. Perhaps everyone from the Towers could stand in front of it and wave one day.

Wouldn't that really freak out the staff at the transport museum?

Babel17 Posted May 25, 2000
Looks like it has stuck at 09:15:20
Perhaps we missed them do it and the museum has decided to keep it at a clear spot, incase they decide to stand in front of it again
