Although not the biggest mountain, it is one of the most convenient. Only 1hr 20 from Boston, Unlike the 2hr30 to Bretton woods, or almost 3 to Loon.

It's a decent sized hill with about 20 trails, (only two very average Black runs), and a very good terrain park with ramps, jumps and boxes

A Ski pass is about $30 for the day, and rental are about $40, so not too bad.

I went on the last friday of the school holiday, and got there at 8am for opening. The mountain was practically hours for almost 3 hours, then the hoards arrived, to the point where by lunch time, lines for the lifts were about 15mins.

If you do plan to go on a holiday or the weekends, get here early, and avoid the average blues and long greens, as they will be rammed with people.

I was near Boston Common the other day meeting some old work colleagues for lunch, and they suggested 21s Amendment next to the State House.

For non-Americans, the 21st Amendment was the repealing of the Prohibition laws in the US...ie we can drink again! From what i understood, the place used to be an old speak easy. Behind the old heavy wooden door is, to all intensive purposes an old British pub. Low black beams fill the ceiling, nooks and crannys abound through out the place, and i believe i did see a fire place.

The food is classic bar and pub food, sandwiches, burgers, all cheap and very satisfying

Best Buy's can be really hit or miss. I know the should all be the same, selling the same items etc. And yes this is a given due to being a massive electronics chain.

However, what really makes a good Best Buy are the staff. I don't know about you, but when im going to drop some serious $ on a new piece of kit, i want to spend some time talking with someone in the know about what exactly i need, whats extra, and whats going to be outdated once i open the box.

I have many horror stories of disinterested sales clerks, or even worse, misinformed ones. My girlfriend bought a laptop a year ago on for the sole purpose of gaming, and the clerk reliably informed her that the item bought would kickass, however, it didnt, and never would, and the guy just didnt know what he was talking about.

The Best buy in taunton is much better. Its on the suburbs, so its alittle quieter, the people have more time to spend some quality time going over products, getting second opinions, and all the reasuring things you want when buying tech stuff.

I should be returning mid week to purchase a new laptop, armed with all the knowledge and tech help i need, i know i can make a reliably informed choice

I always thought that the whole point of chain restaurants was that you would get the same food and services wherever you were in the world. Its what you relied on.

This is why i m so disapointed with TGI Fridays at the airport in terminal 3. First of all, the prices are astronomical, 10 pounds for a burger! 15 pounds for rib! I know this is airside at the airport, but seriously, friday is supposed to be cheap.

So, you're not going to Fridays for the best of your life, however it always pretty tasty. Not here though, i ordered the ribs, and the were bland, dry and tough...and heres the stupid thing, they put the sauce on the side, so you could see the grey pieces of meat that you were about to tuck into.

I know you dont have much choice at the airport, but there has to be something better than this for less price. Come on food vendors of the world, lets hear those ideas

I first went here in the summer while looking for somewhere that would break the bank for lunch on wandsworth common. I know, a tough call.

However, someone had told us about Cafe du Village, and their great lunch time specials. If memory serves, it was 7pounds for a beer/glass of house wine and a choice of 3 dishes, ranging from a very solid burger, fish and chip and other classic english fare.

The location is amazing, looking out over the common, and from what i could see on the menu, the other items looked great as well as reasonably priced

Here's a rule to live by. If you sell any items that cost more than £5 you will provide card facilities to be able to pay for said items.

I couldn't believe that this pub ib the heart does allow cards....and it's a gastropub, so stuff ain't cheap!

Ok that little rant aside, the place is very nice, off clapham high st, with a massive back room for having your Sunday roast. It has a large bar with a good selection of beers.

All in all it's a decent pub

Very very average. I was thinking that I hadn't had a curry in ages. So it was a matter of find someone who would deliver Sunday evening. While looking around the house I saw a menu from dehli deli, and the prices weren't bad.

I got chicken tikka masala, rice and naan, which came to about £10. However i was extremely underwhelmed from the start. The tikka was dull and had no real complex flavours.

The naan was fine and the portions were very large, however I don't think I will be going back any time soon
