Dr. Samuel Johnson: Here it is, sir. The very cornerstone of English scholarship. This book, sir, contains every word in our beloved language. Blackadder: Every single one, sir? Dr. Samuel Johnson: Every single word, sir! Blackadder: Oh, well, in that case, sir, I hope you will not object if I also offer the Doctor my most enthusiastic contrafibularities. Dr. Samuel Johnson: What? Blackadder: "contrafibularities", sir? It is a common word down our way. Dr. Samuel Johnson: Damn! [writes in the book] Blackadder: Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I'm anaspeptic, phrasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulation.

Hey Julian, I was fortunate to be the vacationing spouse on a trip to London as I joined my wife on her business trip in March 2012. We stayed @ the Crowne Plaza in Blackfriars for 8 days. I toured the city for 5 days on the London (6 day) Pass with 7 day Tube Pass, and ventured to Windsor Castle on day 6. The city was busy getting ready for the Olympic Games at the time. After my first day about town I asked a barmaid at the Blackfriars Pub, where I stopped each day for a pint or two after checking out the town, for a spot to dine. Without hesitation she said "Ye' Old Cheshire Cheese". I fell in love with the place immediately upon arrival. I dined there on four occasions having the awesome lamb shank each time. The smell of coal, the wood shavings on the floor, and, the ease of convesration are still imprinted upon me. Another highlight was finding Ronnie Scott's bar for 3 very late evenings during my stay. The people I had the opportunity to meet and hang with were wonderful. London is a great town to explore. Thanks for taking me to Ye Olde Cheese once again, bud.

Excellent. And educational. I used to know Fleet Street and the Strand quite well in the1980s and 90s, particularly the pubs. Last May I took part in the Vitality 10,000. The route, simply, was from Buckingham Palace down Fleet Street and The Stand, more or less, and heading back the same way from the vicinity of Monument tube station. Not once in my life have I followed any section of that route without stopping in two or three boozers. Running past all of them was a dreadful challenge. Keep up the good work.

Really enrichens the experience. The "theatrical-ness" of your presentations...it's truly magical. Far better entertainment than any narrator-driven youtube experience I've come across.
