When I was there in '05, there was a massage school in the downtown area where I got a really good massage for quite cheap.
And, I took a boat tour around to different islands (saw the upside down boat) that was both informative and fun.
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

She was also remarkable as Catherine in the Tudors. I did not recognize her from the Commitments, her immersion in the role was so great.

Completely different topic, but does anyone have suggestions for cheap, interesting things to do in Stockholm?
If I'm not too late, also consider taking a short train ride to Uppsala. Classic old European university town in better repair than most because of the lack of recent wars.
Also, around any corner you may find yourself in a familiar scene from Fanny and Alexander.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I'm here for 4 more weeks, so not too late at all. I think I had a request for a postcard from there, actually...

I like Emma Thompson. I wish Kate Winslet would make more comedies(And not just because I really like "The Holiday" but am also a little embarrassed about it. Although Cameron's section is more embarrassing than Kate's.)

Hey - anyone in London these days? Ideally someone who might want to catch dinner or drinks on June 14?

Hi brenda! That sounds great! I have a friend's birthday drinks straight after work but I can probably leave that around 6.30 or so?

Awesome! I'm staying in West End but happy to go wherever.

Okay, cool. I think on a Friday night in London it might be a case of finding a place that's not absolutely rammed.
There's a great real ale pub between the west end and Covent Garden called The Harp, if you're a beer drinker? There's lots of restaurants and wine bars towards Covent Garden too if you fancy something else? Or the National Gallery and National Portrait Gallery both have nice bars, plus, you know, art, and stay open until nine on Fridays. But if you've already done the tourist thing during the day then you may already have seen them.

Pub sounds perfect! Though I suppose it wouldn't kill me to get some culture.
