I got the extreme pleasure of seeing the clock tower in person in November '07. It is really an impressive sight.
Slainte,

My grandmother, from Edinburgh, while living in Florida, USA, used to tune in a BBC radio program on New Year's Eve to hear Big Ben ring in the new year; was one of her traditions.
Happy Birthday Big Ben!

Am I the only guy who had a flashback to my college partying days when I saw the title to this thread?

So you started hearing AC/DC's Hell's Bells in your head, too?
No?

Ben is the opposite of the old phrase used of children - he is heard and not seen.
