    Beansey - Avoid XP Home, especially if you want it for work - you can't join an AD domain, for example.

    Clownio - I concur re. Metropolis. Excellent quality lasses.

    Browns1 Hackney Rd, E2
    (020) 7739 3565
    www.browns-griffin.co.uk
    One of the older "gentlemen's clubs" (as this kind of place tends to call itself…) in the area - or, indeed, London - and one with a good reputation. It won't cost you to get in but it will cost you (not too much) to have a fully nude dance.

    Cheap to get in, friendly and with a whole host of dancers…this is normally known as value for money. A good spot - if you go to these kind of places regularly.
    Metropolis
    234 Cambridge Heath Rd, E2
    (020) 8980 2917
    www.metropolis-uk.com
    Metropolis is something of an institution - huge, perennially popular and packed with attractive ladies. Set over three floors and having several themed areas you will be charged £10 for a dance (fairly average). The top floor is called the Penthouse and it has vibrating chairs…
    Rainbow Sports Bar
    72 Shoreditch High Street, E1
    (020) 7739 2959
    Further info
    One of your classic strip pubs (i.e. - naked ladies dancing and a pint glass going round into which you throw pound coins to demonstrate your appreciation) and as such, cheap and cheerful. The added attraction of plenty of sports coverage on the TV makes this something of a blokeish gem…
    Ye Olde Axe
    69 Hackney Rd, E2
    (020) 7729 5137
    www.yeoldeaxe.com
    Another classic east end strip pub. The landlord has been in place for some 17 years now and by all accounts runs an excellent venue.

    HTH - Glad to be of assistance !

    Milan, this must be the 3rd or 4th time you've asked for advice on which laptop to buy. Have you ever got round to actually buying one?

    If not then please post this in the "Test please delete" thread.

    Little bits of everything help.
