      Its plenty of time for what you have planned. I know it first hand because I did it few times when I had my flight connections, so there is definitely plenty of time. Once it was only 7 hours and there was no rush to see something and grab a dinner in the city

                like some people said, you could take the subway right there in Heathrow and visit some nice places, London is a very interesting city, one of my fave in the world. However, do not expect to see much, if I were you, I'd try to arrange at least 2-3 days flight delay and visit some great places, esp those cities close to London. I took a 1-day ride visiting London-Oxford-Bath-Bristol and a couple more places finishing in Cardiff and it really paid off. But yes, food (at least for those like me who are not rich) is quite horrible, I chose to go vegetarian the couple times I was in UK, with some Hindi food here and there

                  No, it is because you thought someone like Lloyd would be impressed that you knew a biker and a pimp. And *that* would persuade him to come and visit a stranger on the internet who posts like he is mentally ill.

                  He has already said he isn't going to stay here, so you can stop trying to persuade him to come to your house to meet your cool biker friend with the spayed bike.

                  Lloyd, looking forward to hanging with you in Amsterdam, been a while.

                    It isn't. It is served at celler temperature. Which is considerably colder than room temperature. And many bars have realised bitter actually tastes much better cold so are putting bottles of it in fridges.

                              Funny enough, did you know that you are 4 times more likely to be mugged in London than in New York?


                              Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of crime ridden areas in the US, but you have to admit, street crime in the UK has gotten really bad.

                              I'm way too old to get into street fights, but the closest I've come in the last few years were the last 2 times I was in the UK. Seems like people REALLY enjoy getting drunk and then looking for people to beat up... especially "Yids" as they like to call me. They get a little disconcerted when you just stand there, take your glasses and ring off, and then say "You go first", but still....

                                Are you saying skyscrapers aren't historically important?

                                  yeah i know NYC has done well at reducing crime, and britain should follow some of their examples. NYC still has a murder rate of 3-4 times that of london though. and NYC is the exception rather than the rule, compare london to places like detroit.

                                  but yeah i agree that street crime has got bad in parts of the UK, especially london. and the vast majority of gun and knife crime and street robberies are commited by young black gang members.

                                    yes i am, certain ones may have some importance with modern architecture, but have no historical importance and will be pulled down long before they are considered to be that. places like the houses of parliment or tower of london have historical importance.
