    I booked tickets this month to go up and have a look around not for people with a fear of heights.

    I was up the Shard about a month ago and fell off the bastard.

    I landed in a skip full of used tampons.

    True story.

    They did a half term deal where you buy 2 adult tickets get 4 kids tickets free.
    Not bad for a day out plus we will go to Brick lane to get lunch.
    Fish and chips was invented by Jews in Brick lane True story.

    Funnily enough we have a Fish and Chips Street in Glasgow, and there's a builders merchant where you can buy bricks.

    I know Garry Bushell; I used to sit behind him at The Valley. It must be two years since I last saw him, though.

    Sorry to disappoint you, T.

    What have you got against Gary Bushell? He wrote and performed one of the greatest pop songs of all time:

    Back to the original post thing: so basically you pay £25 to go in a building, take the lift to the top and look out of the window?
    I'm not sure I could handle that much excitement.

    Well yeah,because the equivalent where you live would probably be going up stairs in a windmill to enjoy a view of some fields.
