24: London in Pictures

The Lord of Leisure | June 7, 2007

Hello campers, as promised another post showing some of the sites I have seen from London, accompanied by my lovely lady friend Natalie. Here’s a rundown of what we did:

Saturday:

Got there about 12 from Shrewsbury, wandered by Hyde Park met Natalie’s Cousin, went to covent garden, and the Squares. Got drunk with Nat’s friends where we were staying.

Sunday:
Feeling iffy, went out and about again to various places, Posh stores on Oxford street, and went out in the evening to watch some funny people at the Comedy Store

Monday:
More wandering, some shopping, Visted The Tate Modern, The Globe Theatre and saw Monty Python’s Spamalot.

Tuesday:
Tiny bit of shopping before heading Home. (well first birmingham then home for me!)

There we are a very heavily condensed version of events with the crap cut out. Jolly good! Below you will find lots of pics with funny captions!!

Canary Wharf
Business capital of London, Canary Wharf. Looks like an opening scene for one of those 80′s Wall Street Films.

Not very square...
Trafalgar Sqaure. And that’s Nelson’s Column. Makes me feel strange…

Gotta Love Political Correctness...
I had to take a photo of this. Does anyone else think of the word “Midget?”



Covent Garden, one of the places to go to see alsorts of people performing for £3 all day. Those crazy people!

Ahoy there!
Here is the gorgeous Natalie by a ship. And yes, i thought of all the jokes, and I am not saying them!

Pretty Lights
Here’s the circus. No clowns though…

She's Back!
The Evil Natazuki returns!!

FANTASTIC!!
And I had to have a picture of this. The picture says it all.

Hello Again!!

The Lord of Leisure | June 7, 2007

Yes good people, I am back from very very sunny London, enjoyed the majority of the four days there, one or five hiccups but never the less, on the whole I felt sad to leave. Of course it is different to visit rather than Work and Live there, that is a different thing entirely. But being down there, it did strat making me wonder again. Dear Dear.

Some photos and video will be posted later on this evening, and the podcast should be done on the weekend, all being well with time that is! Yes, it will be a fairly long post so for all the fun and frolicks you will just have to wait. Saw much while down south, and you will see some of it here.

However in the time that I have been away, it saddens me to see one of my good friends low, Glyn, has been suffering a fair bit it seems, one thing which has pushed him, which I do understand is that he is not the only one to have car trouble, except his issue was with nasty people (can’t write what they actually are, as I think it would go on for too long) wreaked his car, in a strange attempt to steal it. But it appears he is down for many reasons and is taking time from the world to sort things out. All the best to you good sir, and you know where I am if you need anything.

Will be visiting Aunty Bett Tonight to see how she is, according to the hospital, she is better, and has been walking a fair bit.

Recorded a “Pilot” last night for the radio course I am doing, it was utter rubbish, but Mike Owen, the man running it, says it shows promise. Of course, here’s me talking about the radio stuff and still all of you don’t know about it fully, so in another post on the weekend I am going to finally tell you all about it. My word, I have a lot to update, why is there only so many hours in the day?

Right, as currently I am sneaking away from Work, I have to get back to it. Take it easy campers and we shall meet again.

Downtime

The Lord of Leisure | June 1, 2007

You may have noticed the site went down for two hours. The entire website was being moved to another web cluster with my web host, so hopefully you will find this site responds slightly faster. Just been having a massive evening working late, seeing off Mr Paul Thompson (Maggot) at Pizza Hut after he finished today to start another life having fun. All I can ever say is I wish you all the best mate! And I saw a very disturbing picture on Richie’s phone, you see, someone who I asked to work with, Rob, named one of his um, testicules (forget the name right now, but that in itself should disturb) and while they were working away they went out in a nightclub and rob had texted the nightclub’s screens to show “Shout if you had seen (whatever it’s name was)” Everyone started screaming, and for the rest of the night, he had it on display for all to see, even walking down the street at night, no-one stopped him!

Had also seen Aunty Bett this evening, and she has been moved into her own room becuase her leg is still leaking. There is slight cause for concern at present, and she is on stronger antibiotics. She is also down becuase she was on her own. Such a heartbreak really, it’s not fair.

Also just trying to finish off packing for tommorow, and i have just finished ironing, I am awful at it, never mind eh? Well campers, I hope you all have a great weekend doing whatever you have planned, I hope it is grand. And I know the recent Blog posts have been ever so brief but such is life, that a lot has been happening this week, one really needs the time to take it all in. I suppose it’s one of the reasons why it is so interesting in so many ways and yet disturbing. A real mixed bag. Sorry was getting all philosophical, and that’s no way to be writing on a friday night. Take it easy campers, and more crap will be coming your way soon.

Umm….Ok then.

The Lord of Leisure | June 1, 2007

Hello Campers, just a note to say that Aunty Bett is proceeding along still, though she is a bit downhearted at the moment. Hospital can be a boring place and she is the type of person who likes to be active, which even at her age is great. She may be getting moved to a different weard next week to sort out her breathing once her leg is OK. Will keep you all updated, though you all may even get an update while we are down in London, who knows? We depart tommorow, and I must admit, I can’t wait. Can’t we fast forward a bit to the end of the day? Dammit, I want to go now!! That’s all i can write for now, never mind there will be some rubbish soon I expect, if there wasn’t you would be disapointed.

BTW, check out the Lineup for Glastonbury, they have posted it online now, my thoughts about all that coming soon!!

BYE!
