Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger indeed! Must have taken ages to work out and longer to get it right! My apologies to the original creator on YouTube – The URL assigned to your video breaks the software which allows me to embed YouTube clips in my blog, mainly because your URL contains a double ‘–’.

I had forgotten how much I love the British Museum, so I am glad I took my folks there today and refreshed my memory. The building itself is quite imposing, with the columns and steps leading up to the entrance…. But the most stunning things about the place is the glass roof over the Great [...]
Walking from Squat & Gobble today, on our way to the British Museum, I decided to cut through Bedford Square for no other reason than it is a really nice Georgian square and I thought my folks would like it. On rounding the corner we see this installation – a summer pavilion designed by [...]
No, it’s not a sexual request, nor the name of some second rate porn movie (although I’m not gonna turn down the former if the right offer should come along – wahay!) – but it is rather a fab place to go for breakfast. I have been a couple of times now and have always been [...]
Took my folks on the London Eye this evening, and they took my advice in going as the sun was setting – the above being the sunset we witnessed from the top. I was so pleased we timed it just right! I think my Mum & Dad really enjoyed it, and I was especially proud of [...]

Got my folks coming into town tomorrow (Sunday) until Tuesday, so I have taken a couple of days off work. Will be great to see them – last time was just before Christmas. I have a few things planned for what we can do while they’re here, and a few back up options in case the [...]
Nearly 2 million hits in a week and a half – I wonder if they get time off for good behaviour? I love YouTube!
***NO SPOILER*** Well…. That’s it…. I finished it last night, after reading most of it in a state of oblivious engrossment in a marathon all day session on Sunday, disturbed only by food and toilet breaks. I thoroughly enjoyed it – it’s exciting and tense and gripping and sad and exhilarating and a whole host of other emotives that [...]
How the fuck does one accumulate so much clutter in so short a span of time? Have thrown away 4 bags of crap, plus one broken portable TV, from one room – and I have only lived here for 18 months. Most of it is stuff that I kept because ‘it might come in useful’ – but [...]
