Lou 0 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I almost added "like a lion in the jungle" but then thought 'no, don't be so silly'. So I'm a stand-up comedian, 3-foot tall shrew, wearing clown pants?? Cool. I've had a very nice day so far. Matt gave me free things, such as pens, pencils and mints. I liked that. That wasn't the height of my nice day, but it certainly contributed. (Thanks Mattski! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were going to go without free stuff until I said you NEED free stuff to entice the student types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 If anyone knows anything about Campden Place in Bath, could you please let me know (like asap?) Have to research various places in Bath as we're studying Persuasion by Austen, and I can't find anything about Campden Place, which is where the Elliots and Mrs Clay stay when they go to Bath.

When I got home, I put my bag on my bed, and it slipped off and I ended up with Deloitte free goodies all over my floor. Which wasn't anywhere near as annoying as it sounds.

geordieshandy 0 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Try dropping the "p" From Campden that is, not Place - that would just be silly. I'm not sure Campden Lace is anything at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 There's a Chipping Campden in the Cotswolds though, which isn't far from Bath. However, maybe the street is fictional. It is in a novel after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou 0 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 http://www.telephone.co.uk/other-c/Lace_Mnfrs - claims there's a Chipping Campden Lace Manufacturers.... but there's not. So it looks like you're right there, good call. You are obviously knowledgeable in the world of lace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou 0 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 (edited) I know... it took typing in the words "Camden Place Bath" into Google, and clicking on the first link. Oh well, killed a few minutes of my day. YAY - I'm going to the Castle Keep with my brother later!! I think he's up here doing some modelling work, and so we're meeting up in an hour or so when he's done.. and I just text him to see where we're meeting, and to say that I wanna find the castle... and he replied "would be nice to see your uni... but let's go find this castle!" Yay. Knew he'd be up for it! Thanks for the idea, alex! Edited November 18, 2005 by Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou 0 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 You know me surprisingly well! Well... according to Matt, you go down Grey St (and I just found a very useful map on the uni website that told me which one this is)... and then you go up the dog leap stairs (which sound marvellous just from the name) which are on the right when you've gone down it loads and a road bridge thing goes over you, and that leads to the Castle. Sound about right? The map I found was pretty good at showing me where it was though.. so I have a vague idea... We'll probably still get lost though!

Take the first left onto St. Nicholas Street (St. Nicholas Caathedral is on the corner) and it's about 50-100 yards away on the left. There are two Castle-type buildings. The first (smaller) one is the Black Gate and the second one is the Castle Keep. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou 0 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I LOVE turrets!! And twisty stairs leading to little passageways which lead to little rooms. And the little passageways themselves. And the random rooms. And the TURRETS!! No dungeons though. Disappointed by that... but the magnificence of the turrets and stairs made up for it I guess. I mean, they did have a prison (and an ice basement - wtf?) ... but we wanted tortune equipment and stuff. Haha, the pair of us were running around like little kids. I knew I could rely on my big brother to have fun at the castle! I'm so taking Danny there on Sunday!! (it IS open on Sundays, right?! damn, i shoulda checked...) I'm sure he'll love it, he's such a boy. And the views ARE really cool too. From the turrets! Hurrah! Thank you SO much for telling me about this, Alex. Have a gold star: Incidently, whilst looking for that gold star, I found this.... how cute!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Mummy I want a pony! (I used to say that to a posh mate at uni when he went in the huff). Well, I thought it was funny. Anyway, I'm pretty sure it is open on Sundays. Glad you liked it. The views are nice, especially on a day like today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
