If you have time, take a boat tour to Greenwich.
There is the prime meridian at the Observatory and the Cutty Sark near the river.
I'd rather be phishing!

The observatory has (or had two years ago) a very good exhibition on time and the attempts to measure time at sea (required for calculating longitude). It's well worth a visit!

Take a walk on the South Bank from Westminster Bridge to Borough Market and have lunch there, especially the grilled raclette sandwiches.
Buckingham Palace, Piccadilly, Trafalgar Square, the usual places.
Use the tube, I think you can get a daily or weekly travel card. Buses are Ok but slow and black cabs are crazy expensive though they know London every which way.
Book a show in one of the theatres in the west end - plenty of places to get half price tickets.
Go for afternoon tea at a good hotel or even the Ritz.
Science and Natural History Museums are a must.
Enjoy!
Keep your friends close. Keep Kill your enemies closer.
The End

remember if it gets too rad just grab a couple of pi's, that'll get you back around.

Some folks think doing that is a sin, and people should be sent to hades cos of that, though some make it back with a good tan.

Well, MR, the MS don't like it either, so C to it you respond accordingly!

Actually I always had the opposite problem. Everything is in rad but calculators default to deg.
It's not rad, it's degrading.

Hope you're not plotting another pointless post today.

Lately, I've been hearing an advertisement on the radio that goes something like this...
"Meet Joe. A year ago he was working in a big box store selling car stereos.
Now Joe has a promising career in Information Technology
working fewer hours and making more money.
You too can have start a new computer career in as little as 4 months..."

No, you can get a quick Tech certificate and then get a job paying better than working retail.

More to the point - get an education and you don't have to make minimum wage selling car stereos. But if you think you'll be working fewer hours, we'd like to introduce you to a little thing we call, "real life".

I think most syllabus content includes just one line of text. "Go to CodeProject to answer all of your homework questions."

About the same time some sect needs to assimilate and brainwash new members. That explains a lot.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.
