I'm watching Amazing Hotels: Life Beyond The Lobby on BBC2 - this week they are in Londons most exclusive hotel, The Lanesborough in Kensington. **** me, cheapest rooms start around £5K a NIGHT!! Presidential suite over £27K a night. Never heard of the place before, but it's insane. You have your own, dedicated butler at your service 24hrs a day, the attention to every single detail puts my OCD to shame, guests have included the Queen, Michael Jackson, Diana, Madonna and Gorbachev. Place is stunning, but not really my cup of tea - especially as you have to call your butler to get a cuppa - no kettle or tea bags in the rooms A full menu for your dogs available, and your butler will take your dog for a walk, or even sit in your suite to keep them company whilst you enjoy an evening on the town. Afternoon tea slightly more affordable at a mere £55 a head.
The concierge who was working there last night was born there too, and the food critics' mum lived/worked there as a nurse
I've had a couple of 2s - I always use the same word as my first go and sometimes the letters pay off!
I really struggled to get VIVID the other day. I had the two Is but had to spend about 10 minutes over my last go before I finally got it.
Struggled, then got to LIVID, which then led to VIVID - it was one of the harder ones I've come across
Steels has got me into the Podcast “Conflicted”. All about Middle East, 9/11, world terrorism, etc etc etc. Bit of Russia later on as well so I hear. Brilliant listening that takes in both sides….those who think they have an understanding of all this stuff might have their eyes opened….I did
He did pay credit to you Raving…..did the first two episodes today while ironing……really good. Now gotta try to find time for the others
Season 3 is out now....just started, there's three episodes out, but they reckon they'll be doing up to 16 episodes
Thanks Steels. They were over the moon with the piece. Framework will also patinate over time to an deep orange colour, so will blend even better with the glass.
The food critic, Giles Coren is a life long QPR supporter. Comes over as quite a likeable bloke on the TV…….but can be a smug, arrogant, vile **** sometimes. Seems a trend emerging here
Sorry I missed this SW….absolutely superb pieces there. Amazing, vivid colours. Love it you talented devil, you
More consumer advice than review…..if you are an Eon customer for gas/electricity I think you can fix the price you pay to the current standard variable tariff price for the next year. Could be good news, as although the price has gone up a lot it’s going to go up a lot more……don’t know why they are offering this or who qualifies to get it, but my wife spotted it on one of those consumer monkey programmes yesterday and apparently we benefitted.
Nice one SW Reminded me of this, which I saw on Monday, a part of the Copenhagen Festival of Lights, apparently an annual thing. I actually saw it in the daytime and up close - it’s made entirely from old bits of used plastic. Without the lights on the gradation in colours from orange at the bottom to yellow on the top is easier to see. In a great setting right on the Harbour.
