- in strange antipodean egg related question, CakeOrDeath says:
Thanks littlewolf. I knew I could count on you!
A further trawl around the internet has revealed that platypi have a poisonous claw which, if they attack you with it, leaves a wound that takes practically for ever to heal. So, in conclusion, the platypus omelette adventure would probably not really be worth the pain, suffering, tweezers, awful taste and environmental guilt.Aug 17, 2008 02:08 PM - in confused - part 2, CakeOrDeath says:
Certain things you mention in your question: you know he's not someone you can see yourself being with; you foresee being miserable on your birthday if you go on this trip to be with him; suggest to me that, in your heart, you know you shouldn't go down this road. But really, you're the only one who can answer that truthfully - that's just what I see between the lines of your question.
What is your gut telling you about this? The best advice I can give you is to listen to it carefully and take it very seriously... the things I've regretted most have always been the things I've done (or not done) against the better judgment of my tummy!
Good luck!Aug 01, 2008 03:13 AM - in Paris visit, CakeOrDeath says:
Spend a couple of hours wandering around Montmartre... buy some fresh strawberries from the market there... pick up a baguette and a half bottle of red wine, and maybe some bizarre cheese you've never heard of, and go have a picnic lunch in the Jardins de Luxembourg.
Go to the Rodin museum, and if you have time, the Musee d'Orsay (skip the Louvre - there's just too much to see in a short visit, unless there is something specific you simply MUST see.)
Go up the Eiffel Tower. It's touristy and contrived but hey, you've gotta do it...
If you're like me and you have a morbid idea of fun, you might like Pere Lachaise cemetery. You can leave a lipstick kiss on Oscar Wilde's grave, and say hi to Jim Morrison while you're there.
Sit at a pavement cafe and drink espresso and people-watch.Jul 30, 2008 06:32 PM - (show all)
There must be a Tesco's somewhere nearby? Buying groceries and cooking your own food is definitely the cheapest way to eat.
If you're staying in Shoreditch, beware of accidentally spending all your hard-earned cash on a crazy night out in Old Street..
