The view from my "office"

[TheRealTMA]

I actually ended up taking three trips in the lift.

I climbed the stairs and was absolutely exhausted when I got to the display level. I saw a lift and asked if it was to the roof. Got a few positive responses. The lift duly arrived, we all piled in and it went down! I'd apparently joined a small guided tour that had lift access.

I asked the guide if I could go back to the top because I'd made a mistake thinking it was going up. I was quiet, polite and must've looked very sad and exhausted. She told me to wait at the entrance to the lift while she got her next group. A couple of minutes later I was heading back to the top and then found the stairs to the top where I enjoyed the view.

I then took the lift down at the end of my visit. It was a great view from the top of the Arc de Triomphe and I would recommend it for a great view of Paris and the massive round about that circles the Arc.

I did see a couple of stupid people run across the round about. I used the tunnel underneath to get there safely.

Watching the traffic and the amusing road rules in france for roundabouts is great fun!

Is there really such a thing as a good whisky?

I assume a fallacious comment. Abosfo**kinglutely, Bru!! Scottish single malts, Glenfarclas 30 and 15 yo for example, or ones from Islay etc. Lots.

Just add 3 drops of water to release the methoxy phenols.

Don't worry, it was consumed quickly enough that the ice didn't have much chance to do its thing.
