I don't like Heathrow. There, now the thread is travel-related.
So how did your man/woman/being do? I dusted off the old swingometer but it hasn't budged yet.

I agree, am curious and would be refreshing to hear about UK politics for a change.
Will be in London in a few months and want to be informed so can discuss intelligently in pubs. (Offered in continuing spirit of keeping thread travel-related)

That awful cheshire cat (but not as endearing) will be back in power yet again, and how low can he stoop? In an interview with The Sun (a British rag) he revealed details of his "five times a night" bedroom encounters with Cherie...not an attractive thought, and how undignified for a prime minister to engage is such lowbrow stuff!

Terminal 1. Also Terminals 2 and 3. Not especially fond of T4 either, except the Molton Brown spa at the the Gate 10 BA lounge. THAT I love.
I am witholding judgement on T5. For the moment, all I can say about it is that it's very big.

Shane,
I most hope not. Bad as Blair is Brown would be worse.
He cares only for the single mothers, unemployed etc. and wants to take lots of money from those people who actually go out to work to give benifits to those who don't.
I live in N'Ireland and as such cannot influence the vote in the mainland UK but to all you voters there, my measage is to vote for any other party than labour and give Blair a 'Bloody Nose' !!!

Indeed, let's hear it! It looks like Tony Blair is in again or, as some across the pond would say Tony B.Liar (but what he's lied about I don't know).
Wait-did I see this correctly Mk2?-TB talked to the Sun about bedroom romps "five times A NIGHT? Are you SERIOUS???

Could be, cambe, if you choose to look at it that way. The Attorney General of England, Lord Goldsmith, said one thing publicly (and he IS the chief lawyer who provides the legal advice to the PM), ie., that the invasion of Iraq was unambiguously legal, but, he expressed reservations about the legality of the invasion privately. This is standard practice for a lawyer-what, indeed, he should be doing, looking at it from all angles.

Without commentary, let me just remind everyone that politics is a delicate subject with the Fodors cops, so keep it clean and within civil bounds...
Didn't the Broons live at No. 10 Glebe Street? Anyone else think that's an omen?

It's really rather vile, just the thought of him and letterbox mouthed Cherie. I wonder if Gordon complains about noisy neighbours?
They also mention "The Queen Mother had her photograph taken with Leo", how quaint, surely it should be the other way around?

You know, I used to think Tony Blair was this scrawny thing, but then I saw a picture of him with his shirt off-not bad! (not as alluring, maybe, as Venice's new old mayor Massimo Cacciari-who married Woody and Soon-yi) but altogether more buff than I thought!
But I have a great deal of difficulty in believing that he seriously spoke of these, um, delicate matters to the SUN, and in PUBLIC-perhaps it was just light innuendo/tongue-in-cheek?
