Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

vimy ridge and its memorial are almost terrifying ...... i have visited a couple of times and also seen the trenches though not done the guided tour of them ...... the proximity of the opposing front lines in some places was quite extraordinary

no .... didn't get the chance to do the tour
i find the cemetries hugely sad but compelling to visit ..... it's the symmetry and unbelievable scale of them, even at the smaller sites, and not just WW1 either
btw, i highly commend visiting bletchley park
i thought it would be a bit dull and worth an hour or perhaps two ..... in fact, it's fascinating and you could spend days there
i'ld also like to revisit ellis island

Arsenal probably has as many Jewish supporters as Spurs. Both same distance from Stamford Hill.
I am a Spurs supporter due to going to school in Stamford Hill and our rugby pitches being behind Spurs ground. My wife and both sons are Arsenal fans.
