Somewhere to drink near Kings Cross?
hazel, 13 of July of 2009 at 19:39

I need to meet some friends near Kings Cross for a drink. Can you suggest somewhere good? We'll all have luggage so space would be nice though we could leave it in the left luggage office I guess.

I'm being driven insane by recorded telephone messages! I'm not usually home in the day (currently on maternity leave) and I didn't realise how many we were getting. Is there anything I can do to stop...

White linen trousers - why?
Smillie, 25 of June of 2008 at 12:54

Is it possible to find a pair of white linen trousers that aren't see-through? And do the people wearing them realise everyone can see their skin tone/underwear/bum tattoos through them?
