London calling
Planing a trip to London this December for 8 days. I’ve been to London twice before so it won’t be that much of sightseeing. I’ve planned a perfect schedule including watching tennis legends at the Albert Hall, going to the Comedy store to see the players perform, go and laugh at Jeremy Hardy stand up, listen to Rufus Wainwright, Martha and their mum sing the the Albert Hall and to top it all a perfect last evening going to the recording of Have I got news for you.Got tickets to everything and nearly got the tickets for Have I got news for you, waited for 3pm went to the HatTrick website clicked on get tickets and got a lovely email saying:
Thank you for applying for tickets for Have I Got News For You (Show 8), on Thursday, 10 December 2009 at 18:45, recording at The London Studios.
You will receive an email shortly informing you if your ticket application has been successful in the next few days.
Which my small overly excited brain interpreted it as: “Ohh yes I got the tickets!”, but that only lasted for a couple of days when I got the email from HatTrick saying they ran out of tickets, to which my broken heart said: “Bollocks!”.
So now I have the last day free and need to find some show/concert/activity to fill it with, if you have any suggestions do leave them in the comments, I would appreciate it very much!
Besides the lovely comedy, sports and music shows I will also be going to the Ritz for afternoon tea, its a little treat since I’ve never been and hopefully having lunch at a Jamie Oliver’s restaurant just so I can compare it to Gordon Ramsey’s. We’ve been to one of Gordon restaurants last year and didn’t go all that well, I found a small snail, or a worm not sure, in the salad and well that somehow ruined the experience of paying far too much for a meal and then finding the wrong kind of meat in your meal. Although I must say the staff were very nice and replaced the dish and even gave us some chocolate and the food wasn’t bad at all, guess the snail/worm like creature was an added bonus!:D
So London it is in December, lets hope the plans stay the way they are and things should be great! Any suggestions of things to do in London would be appreciated also planning a quick visit to the country side so any ideas on that are also welcome.
Edited:
I managed to get tickets for Have I got news for you, thanks to a very nice person, so now the London trip should be perfect indeed! And HatTrick are the nicest production company around! :)
