I’m planning my first trip to London in late-April and will have a couple of free days.  Can anyone recommend a good mid-priced hotel that’s near all the action?  Also, any interesting things to do other than the obvious stuff and favorite pubs/restaurants would be great.  Thanks.

Today Burger King unveiled its new Enormous Omelet Sandwich breakfast offering containing one sausage patty, two eggs, two American cheese slices and three strips of bacon weighing-in at 730 calories and 47 grams of fat.

Nothin’ to do with nothin’, but I love these guys.  Click their heads and make sweet horse harmonies.

New beta service from Google called Google Maps. You can not only zoom and pan (as with other map sites), but also drag the map with your mouse or double-click to center any area on your map.  I also like the way, when you search for and click on a business, you get a […]
