I used to adore the Natural History Museum. Went there weekly when we lived in the neighbourhood.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ooh, when you're in Edinburgh you should go see the graveyard at Blackfriars, where JK Rowling got lots of the Harry Potter names from. And there's this underground medieval town tour thing that I didn't get to see but is apparently extremely cool.
And when will you be in Edinburgh? I'm arriving on Sunday and staying for a month, if you fancy a pint?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Yes, FTW = For The Win. Expect me to sue it a lot fduring Friday Night Lights, Season 2. Possibly with pom-pon arms. *o/*
Also so totally and completely FTW - Dame Shirley Bassey covering Pink's "Get The Party Started". Originally for a Marks & Spencer TV ad, it's now the title track on her latest album, and so awesome it kills me. I can't get any more work done. I am dead from awesomeness. I need to do a picspam of Dame Shirley's awesomeness.

Yeah, that was the link I provided upthread, but it was buried in a giant pile of other crap...

Ah. That would almost certainly be a case of me not paying attention. My bad.
I'm definitely going to do it while I'm there this time though.

I clicked on your link (although I have no idea when I'll ever get to Edinburg)! totally fascinating but I didn't understand exactly. Is this part of the city actually underground?

No, not at all, just wanted to second your seconding of it! It was a lot of fun.

One place I really like that you don't hear a lot about is the Museum of London. It's right next to a pretty good sized chunk of the London wall.
Also, drink some real ale for me. Ah, Britain, the land of great beer.

yeah- Edinburgh's kind of freaky that way... they just sort of kept... building UP. You can see it still in the upper stratas.

Wow! I really need to make a plan to visit there. I would LOVE that.
