I have my laptop, DVD&#8217;s, iPod, noise cancelling headset&#8230; where else can I try out all of my cool toys at once? This is why I got no sleep. British Airways have these great reclining lounge chairs, and every two of them face each other&#8230;. so that&#8230; I don&#8217;t know, so you can toast. Plus all the attendants are&#8230; British. Which is delightful. <\/p>\n<p>My contact, Ben, met us at London Heathrow airport. Nice chap.

The hotel itself is full of modern art and funky fixtures. <\/p>\n<p>In the room, they did NOT have my requested Diet Coke with Lime or my bowl of green M &#038; M&#8217;s. So naturally I went ballistic. Busted a couple lamps and threw the toilet out the window.
