I've Finally Done It

[joggerjayne]

I've just been on the "Eye"

I only went out for a coffee.

It was quite jolly. Only £8. There's a commentary by Steve Coogan! (I mean, recorded ... he doesn't sit in the pod with you).

He tells you lots of local trivia. Most of it I knew, but ... did you know that Roedean School's most famous Old Girl is ... Lady Penelope from Thunderbirds. It was worth the £8, just for that.

I suppose now I can tell people ... "You really should go on the Eye". It would have sounded a bit lame when I hadn't done it myself.

What should we do if we come to your town? Anything?

[paddywak]

Keep on driving through

[gness]

Visit the crypt full of human bones and help me search for record player boy.

[WELSHYORKIE]

Leave immediately

[Baldric]

Leave, quickly

[joggerjayne]

Bit negative here, guys.

Err ... who is "record player boy" ??

[ChuckFickens]

Don't blink, you'll miss it if you do.

Come to my village and just relax, walk on the burrows/sand dunes, see the wildlife and listen to the birds. Pop into our wild garden for a quiet coffee, maybe a Devonshire Cream Tea and meet the hounds and the chickens.

A young chap I don`t know and probably won`t recognise now for whom I bought a record player when we crossed paths in a charity shop, JJ.

1. Get ripped off paying tourist prices for fish and chips
2. Have a seagull sh1t on you
3. See all the Dracula related attractions. There are so many that some tourists think he was real.
4. Visit the local museum. It is so bad it is funny. There is a whole section devoted to Captain Cook that has nothing to do with the man. For example, there is a spear from an island that Captain Cook MAY have sailed past.

Did the "eye" a few years ago. It was on my pal's "bucket list" and we had a great weekend in London.

In Dundee drive or walk to the top of the Law for the panoramic view. Visit Captain Scott's ship The Discovery and the oldest existing frigate "The Unicorn"

[maggiebee]

Gness, always wondered what happened about the record player. One day your paths might cross again.

[joggerjayne]

Mags ... this was the Brighton Eye, rather than the London Eye.

Mrs_O ... I've already done the "have a seagull sh!t on you" ... so maybe I'd stick to the museum?

[joggerjayne]

If record player boy is in a crypt of bones ... is he dead?

[DTCwordfan]

Having fun accosting young lads in the hunt Maggie. x

[boxtops]

You should come to Dover (take no notice of Baldric, LOL) and visit

Dover Castle (goes back to William the Conk, and before that, to the Romans)
Go to the Museum, and see the Bronze Age Boat (dug up when they were making the A20)
walk on the seafront
Go to the Western Heights and see the Napoleonic fortifications
Go to South Foreland Lighthouse
Go to the National Trust site at the top of Langdon Cliffs and watch everything in the harbour, and all the stuff going on beneath you in the docks

[Baldric]

Not negative JJ, we just like it quiet!
;o)

[gness]

Oh. Does sound that way JJ. No I think he is still alive. If not I have a record player I didn`t want.

[joggerjayne]

LOL gness

DT ... does the prison get particularly crowded??

[Hopkirk]

The Brighton Eye? is that one of the fairground rides?
