Cover Your Ears. Gness is Swearing

[gness]

A charity I support was giving a talk tonight. St.Pancras Past and Present. I love architecture, history and St.Pancras so just up my street I thought.
Now this chap gives two talks. The aforementioned one and St.Pancras the Saint.
Some eejit on the committee booked the wrong one!
I now know more than I ever wanted to about St. Sodding Pancras, his mum and dad, his beheading, Augustine, Constantine, Dicwhatsittine, Pope Gregory and the rise of Christianity in Rome.
By 8.15 I was chewing the chair in front of me and when, at 8.30 they had a non-alcoholic refreshment break, I was out the back door, in my car and flying up the A14 before you could say tickets please.
Holy Mother! My day went from bad to worse.
The red is open and I may well finish the bottle.

that's right, Potter is platform 9 3/4, Boudicca is under platform 10 (allegedly).

I wanted some on the hotel Baza. I know a little and the guy mentioned it tonight but St.Pancras was fourteen. What`s to tell. But the buildings are fascinating. Thomas Hardy and John Betjeman??? So much to learn. Ah well.

I will go to the church,jno. Is that where bodies of those dug up for the original station are buried?

Are there ten platforms at King's Cross?

the church is much much ancienter.

Notice Soane's tomb, on whose design phone boxes were based.

"the church is much much ancienter"
A word to the wise, the grammar police never sleep!

Should have stayed at home on here tonight. Much more informative. Thanks jno. I`m in the mood for a ruck if the grammar police turn up, Mike.

the view from the clock tower was great on a summers day, no gherkin or shard.

incidentally, they have at last reopened the hotel above St Pancras station so you can stay there once you've won the lottery. Very grand Victoriana
