If anyone figures out this elusive timing I speak of, please fill me in.
Judge if you will, but it's fresh. It's clean. It's healthy. And it's the best thing I've licked in ages.
You were born a child of the '80s, and now in your upper 20s you've never looked better. Now, that is something I can get behind. (I cannot, howe,ver, endorse flying one hour east to Amsterdam only to tack on an additional hour to the already painfully long flight to the United States. Your good Terminal 4, but not that good...)

If Dickens were hip to air travel, he'd surly agree that it is the best of airports and the worst of airports.
I thought I'd seen the worst of Heathrow in terminal 3 until the atrocities of terminal 1 were realized. Friends, Heathrow terminal 1 is so far and beyond the worst airport terminal I've ever been in that it makes EWR seem like a posh day spa.
This vile atrocity of a people herder involves elevated metal passages that lead into large glass circular spaces, which then have off-shoots of more and more of these maze like passageways until you reach your sad little gate. You've had a hamster. You know exactly what I'm talking about.
At one point, one posh Brit remarked under his breath: "My my, here we finally are muffin. ...10 kilometers later." This hyperbole is all too close to the truth.
I've uploaded a photo taken in terminal one that pretty much describes the horrors beyond horrors to be found here: http://www.yelp.c...

Ohhhh no. No no no no no. NO.
Terminal 3? The vile atrocities that I have seen within the last hour have now secured the fact that I will never choose an airline that uses this terminal. That scratches out both Virgin and United... and 33 other airlines, but seriously, I think I may have caught a disease just by sitting in this chaotic cesspool of nasty. This is not ok.
Cattle call hording, I mean boarding areas
Personal searches before and after using the toilet
Holes in walls
Mold and water damage in corners
People stacked on top of one another
Nothing more than two vending machines within the security area -- there's more selection in a prison. Vile.
...oh my... now there is a young child digging through a rubbish bin conveniently placed in the middle of the seating area. And now he's licked it. Oh good, and now mummy is receiving the "treats" he has plundered and setting them gently on the seat next to her. (Refer to above concern about disease catching.)
Newp. Never again. -

Dearest clean, quick, savvy, Heathrow Terminal 5:
We've had some good times, haven't we? You've let me run through your hallowed halls in panicked fury and sniff your perfumes pretending that I would consider buying anything other than booze from Duty Free. We've frisked, we've upgraded, we've seen more of one another than ever anticipated. Overall, things have really taken off between us.
So, in humble admiration, I've painstakingly composed this gem of poetic magic for you:
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I humbly devote
My six hundredth to you.
p.s. "baggage left unattended will be removed and DESTROYED."

Coffee Bazaar
Category: Coffee & Tea
However when I woke up and needed coffee, I'll be the first to admit that I didn't have high hopes. I mean, most phones weren't getting reception, so I figured on the yardstick of interest, the idea of internet came just before, I don't know, conjunctive grammars with restricted disjunction.
But smack in the middle of this little outdoor paradise is Coffee Bazaar. Free wifi, great coffee, friendly people and a fantastic open windowed setting. Sure the nude paintings alongside Eminem were, well, bizarre to say the least, but we went in for a cuppa to take away and ended up spending three hours lounging, sipping, enjoying, talking... about conjunctive grammars with restricted disjunction, of course.
Highly recommended for a nice friendly punch before your day of adventure.

We were quite chatty until the pizza arrived, then it was a tangled mess of arms and mouths and grunting. And... well, you can imagine how the rest of the evening went from there.
Another fabulous night out eating my favourite food with some of my favourite people! And Otto Pizza? They really have something going on. I recommend getting over there quickly before you can't get a table in their tiny joint of pure delicious.

Hilton London Paddington

It really is a perfect meeting place for your London visitors -- it's easy to find for them, and you get to enjoy coffee, wine and free wifi in a quiet lounge rather than waiting at one of the many coffee counters inside Paddington station, inhaling train-nastiness, and being hustled and bustled by passengers running late.
I hate waiting, and even I will be the first to admit that this is a 4-star waiting experience.
But that stone outdoor seating area is perfect for people watching over a pint on a lazy summer afternoon. Or 2pm on a Wednesday... whichever. Let's just say I'm certainly jealous every time I choose to run by on a sweltering afternoon rather than join in.

*snaps into reality*
This one, as they say on this side, is cheap as chips! Pizza for $2? Sliders for $2? Seriously, that's like £1.15. And from someone who commonly (cough, every day, cough) pays £2.35 for a small latte, this is stunning. I nearly ordered three more solely for ROI purposes!
Please, please, please enjoy this and every other fabulous happy hour while you can! It's from 4-8 and you should stay and indulge the entire time. Do it for me. You're paying half of what I pay for my daily coffee on pizza and a burger. No, not individually, but together. One bill.
Pizza, people, pizza. Seriously. Epic.

Descending into the velvety depths of this Soho haunt is like dipping into Batman's secret sex cave that he hides from even his most exclusively kept company, (but probably not from Robin). It's a bit dark and grimy, but my initial skepticism was immediately replaced with an instant affection for this sultry glamour-filled hot spot.
You must pay homage to any venue that effectively evokes Moulin Rouge style, Vegas sleaze and New Orleans nonchalance. Add an evening of Kitsch Cabaret and/or Burlesque Idol to the mix and you'll see exactly what I'm yelping about...
