Trying to get tomorrow off work as I don't fancy the 9 mile walk home should a light dusting off snow cause chaos on London Overground.
I'm also off to see Peter Hook and his band perform a couple of New Order albums, followed by some Joy Division stuff at Koko tonight. I wouldn't have paid for the tix but seeing as they're free I'm going along. Not that I don't like Joy Division or New Order but something about Hooky rubs me up the wrong way.
Providing I get tomorrow off, the weekend starts here!

Who? I don't think I saw that name in your helpful summary.
Don't step away from your persona at all - the father of the bride speech is great when you get a real sense of who that guy is - especially for the groom's family who might not have met you before.

Meadows = thread grass
aww boo! You're leaving us. ah well, at least you had a good time in London. Come see Scotland! Spend a few days in Edinburgh, Glasgow and the Highlands. Take in the scenery, castles, shortbread and fine Scotch. Visit Scotland and if you're lucky enough you might see the infamous Loch Ness monster in Inverness or Kentpaul's ghost in Falkirk.
Good job Meadows. You've just blown your cover.

Edinburgh

Those are the main ones, if you still have an appetite then you can try:
Manchester (I will buy you a pint)
Leeds
Glasgow (if you can get out to the hills around Loch Lomond it's stunning)

They haven't. They won't have done by the time of the wedding. And there's a pretty good chance that they won't want to ever again!
So I think I can be fairly free.
Extremely. True crime. Gathering a list of characters I wish to track down for a documentary.

That's pretty badass. And a little bit scary.
I'm currently reading Coraline. Less badass.

That's a tough call. Depends what you are interested in/where you've been before/what you've been missing and on what the UK can offer that nobody else has.
We don't, for example, match up in scenery to the USA/China/Italy - but if it is scenery you are after then try Cornwall, the Lake District (top left of England), Highlands of Scotland, North Wales.
And mostly we don't match up to the rest of Europe in cities - but if you want cosy compact cities then York, Durham, Cardiff, Edinburgh are worth a go.
We do villages damn well. Go explore the Cotswolds - Broadway, Bledington and so on. Try the bits south of Birmingham (don't actually GO to Birmingham!) like Cleobury Mortimer, loads of interesting little places in Northumbria. Little gems everywhere. Mid-Wales, bottom-left of Scotland and so on.
We do industrial heritage VERY well, being as it all started here. Do Ironbridge (thoroughly awesome), do Derbyshire - just go north from Derby up the Derwent Valley.

I'll tell you the same thing I tell Mrs Sniv. Turn the telly off, pick up a book at home.

You need to go to Sheffield, We've got everything.
I've fallen out of the habit of reading again lately - need to get back into it. I enjoy reading so much more than TV and other things I waste my time with.

You probably really don't.
Oh, speaking of Sheffield, whatever happened to the Stonehouse? Was an awesome pub, apparently now vanished.
Made me look lazy there!
I second all this, Derbyshire can be stunning once you hit the Peak District.

I have never heard of the stonehouse, We do however have a whole bunch of amazing pubs, the peak district, theatres, highest tree
eople ratio of anywhere in europe...
There are some really nice bits in Birmingham.
I went to stay with a friend at his uni flat a couple of years ago and we went around some nice town centrey bits.
If you're looking at interesting places in the UK, then I'd go to St. David's in the west of Wales - smallest city in the UK, gorgeous to boot.
Windsor and Oxford are both really interesting places to spend a day wandering around - lots of good plays on in Windsor too (also, a great fudge shop)
I've always really wanted to visit the Eden Project too - I hear that's dead interesting.
Plus, obviously, we've got a whole bunch of fantastic museums:
Chester Toy Museum
Natural History Museum
Science Museum
Imperial War Museum
There are dozens more great ones, but those are my favourites

To be fair, there is plenty of good pubs.
I've never heard of anyone going from Netflix to Lovefilm before - it's usually the other way around.

Having a rough time at work, banks are so annoying! As are service charge reconciliations.
Awesome, love me some Gaiman, just picked up Neverwhere. Not read Coraline yet but I loved the film.
I read books on the tube on my way home from work, and graphic novels in bed before I go to sleep. I couldn't not read.

Spend an extra £3 a month for Unblock US so you can can then access the US version of Netflix.
I'm currently reading The Rise and Fall of The Third Reich after reading that Hitler/moron thread on GAF. Great book so far but not what you're looking for.
My gf absolutely loves Haruki Murakami but haven't read him myself.

Not much point, you wouldn't understand any of it. By you I mean everyone, not just you specifically. It's kind of specific to my role, so unless you're a client accountant for asset management in a real estate company....
