    HRH crown prince Håkon of Norway managed to get to, and marry, Mette Marit Tjessem Høiby. I think that's a laudable feat. Not to mention inspirational :D

    I've just seen a poster for a new Liam Neeson film " non-stop " and his pose
    is just like DC on the Skyfall poster ( only mirrored )

    It's really ironic that Neeson turned down Bond because he didn't want to do action movies, and now he's doing lots of them in his old age! I understand they wanted him in 1995, but I would have loved to see him being cast instead of Dalton in 1987 when Neeson was 35. He could have played Bond during the Brosnan years too, if he wanted. :007)

    I agree Neeson would have been superb
    By the way, did I tell you, I was "Mad"?

    Well he does have an unique set of skills ........... :))

    According to himself he was "heavily persued" by the producers around 1995

    To be a Jedi and Bond, now that's the dream. :))

    I'm traveling to London on business next month. Travel tips please!!!!!

    - Must See Locations
    - Best views of the city?
    - Time and Cost effective tours?

    Want to get as much of the London experience as I can! Any help is greatly appreciated :)

    Also, if I were to get a tux from a UK brand such as Turnbull & Asser, would I be saving a significant amount of money compared to buying in the states?

    - Must See Locations

    Get the tube to Westminster, get over Westminster bridge and hang off the lamppost while someone takes a pic before the terrorist police turn up.

    Pose for a pic at the little door in the bridge while some bloke resembling Spudgun comes out rolling his eyes at you (another sad tw@ bond fan).

    Walk west toward vauxhall and take a few snaps while every CCTV camera follows you around the building, walk over vauxhall bridge for more pics, if you're lucky it'll be pissing it with rain and the local pisshead will be out chucking his guts up on the bridge.

    - Best views of the city?

    In my experience the view out the window as the train leaves Kings is the best one.

    - Time and Cost effective tours?

    The duck tours are good, you even get a free pair of armbands and a 'I survived a duck in the Thames' t shirt.

    Thanks Mini!

    Will they get mad if I were to attempt the Lazenby pose? It would be a great shot to have, but I don't want to act too much like an unruly tourist :)

    What is the top movie catchphrase of all time?
    Terminator star Arnold Schwarzenegger is back at the top of a poll of film fans to find the best movie catchphrase ever.

    He beat super-spy James Bond into second place with 14% of votes going to 007's famous introduction "Bond, James Bond".

    More touristy questions!

    I'll be staying in Reading. What is the most efficient and cost effective way to get to Westminster? I am looking online and it looks like there is a train that goes from Reading to London Paddington. I would then transfer on the tube from Paddington to Westminster. What would the approximate time take for this and cost?

    Faster ways? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
  • Charmed & DangerousCharmed & Dangerous Posts: 7,358MI6 Agent
    That's definitely the fastest way. The train takes about 30 minutes and costs about £17 - £20 return. The tube should take another few minutes. Get a Travelcard and the cost of the tube or bus is included.

    I'm shortly going to post about the office building in Shanghai, which was also filmed in London, which you may also want to visit...
