Most Haunted Live

I've not watched Most Haunted for a fair while (it was a combination of the sacking of the mighty Derek Acorah, having social life on the nights it was on the telleh and His Lordship refusing to let me watch it when he was home (I think he was scared o_O)).

I've been watching the current Most Haunted Live on Living this weekend and it's gone really bad, hasn't it? The new medium is awful, he doesn't have the personality of Derek or the other bloke (David?) and I think the live show are much too long.

However, investigating the London Underground is completely made of win. I'd love to go exploring the abandoned stations, I know that there are some down there that have been abandoned since the war (for whatever reason) and I've even seen some on the Northern Line when we've been through engineering works very, very slowly.

This leads me to a question for London-based peeps. Are there companies that do tours of abandoned stations (not unnecessarily ghost tours, historical tours would be just as ace)?

A little trip to Wells

So, as I was saying in another post a while back, I had the pleasure of spending a couple of days in Wells to celebrate His Lordship's BFF wedding. The wedding was brilliant and the reception involved a lot of drink and food and leaving the bride and groom surprises in their honeymoon suite (which was beyond awesome,really - three massive rooms, a shower big enough for five, a massive copper bath, walk in wardrobe, all combined the suite was as big as my entire house and it cost £500 a night).

But the reason I'm posting this was because we did the Hot Fuzz tour the following day. (A tour made much easier by staying at The Swan Hotel (which is where Angel stayed in the film)

This is my second time visiting Wells. The first time was back in the summer of 2005 where we were parked by a bunch of Winnebago's on the main car park in Wells and watched the camera and lighting crews setting up, not realising at the time they were filming Hot Fuzz (bats in a 100 mile radius probably heard my cry of sadness when I found out about a week and a half later - so close to actually seeing Simon and Nick yet so far :()

( So, we did the whole Hot Fuzz thing )
