@rocket:

not going to comment on the classics  but place looks super lovely…

What's the name and location of this palatial hotel please? Looks like the site of a classic Brit crime movie, Agatha Christie meets P D James kind of stuff.  I'm in awe.

If I win the lottery, I want to stay there a night or two…..

[Giles]

Here….

Very close to our end of the Channel Tunnel - in fact due to some useless navigation assistance from my wife yesterday, we almost ended up in feckin France.  Cue, Giles on intercom at toll gate asking how  we **don'**t go to France with queue of cars getting irritated behind him….

If there were more women in space, I'm sure there would have been manned landings on both Jupiter and Mars already…

@Giles:

What is what?

I was talking about that meat volcano on your plate.

[MikeC]

Followed this for a while and tried not to be too jealous…

What r u driving G?  I think I remember you driving a pimp ass Land Rover or something…

[501IH]

Thanks for the info, Giles. Looked at the rates and found my idea of having to win the lottery very much confirmed. You must be doing quite well…  in envy control mode here!!!

[thomasnunnally]

Great pics and commentary Giles….brings a smile to my face!

Paula used to work in "events".  She knows how to negotiate rates…..

We do have a Land Rover….We also have a  Merc C class.  After my 1,000 miles in 3 days with Haraki in the Landy last year, I vowed never to do a long journey in it again....

[Giles]

Today, we went to Sissinghurst Castle….

Best stile I have ever seen in my life, Paula called it a Stile with Style…..

What we dry Hops in in England - It's call an Oast House…

And a couple for Seul…

[Seul]

jumps right in

[Chris]

That is a clever stile.  Looks like you two are having a lovely time.

[Giles]

We did, now we are home and glued to the velodrome…..

[Megatron1505]

Be careful not to get run over, those cycles come at some speed.

[Chris]

Understandable, Giles, cycling is fantastically intense.  Sadly, NBC seems to think we should watch springboard diving instead.

[Giles]

After this, I'm not altogether surprised…..

yeah see the olympics thread, still don't see why that should be zero points, try that one…

@riffblaster:

Hanging out with Paula and Giles last night was a highlight of the tour for us!!

I have a mantra, a motto to live by (I wish it was me who coined it, but of course it wasn't), "regret the things you do, not the things you don't".  Going to a Converge gig would have been so far off my radar 3 years ago, but the Forum has given me access to so many interesting people, who do stuff that is pretty alien to what I have hitherto been exposed to.  I am so glad I did this, I will be going to any Converge gig that I can from now on, aural and visual incredibleness….Will I listen to any of the 8 studio albums they have release?  Hell no, but seeing them live is something I would not miss for the world.....
