Last October Friday

This morning did not start too well as the Northern Line was down because of a fire at Charing Cross overnight. So I did the Bus - Wimbledon - Waterloo - and a nice walk over the river, and got to work on time so actually it was no bother.

This weekend will be just chilling out as I am still tired from the excesses of last Saturday all day session. I must be getting old ;)

Have a good weekend!

Now take your tents and f...

The most ridiculous demonstration has been going on the City just over a week. Some eejits(who obiously are rich enough or do not work and collect benefits to be able to stay) have put up tents by a church but always slip out during the dark cold hours and return to their non consequential task in the morning, which is just to annoy Wan.. errrrr Bankers.

Anti capitalism??? Well, these people dont have any viable or practical ideas to replace the current system, so basically they are just getting their own egos inflated by "trying" to make a difference. The fact is that they can't.

In the Oakland USA their American counterparts saw the authorities charge them with illegal camping and then charged the crowd with tear gas. But the police here can't do that as we have the infamous criminal loving (and open for endless exploitation for not so nice humans) Yuman Rights Act.

If you so despise our way of life just take your tents, go and move to Cuba, China or North Korea where people live in alledged equality that is called communism ( which on paper sounds extremely good but unfortunately DOES NOT work in practise) or some variation of that, so that you can live happily ever after in utopian equality.

There, rant over.

Day out with the Ladyeez

I met with the Ladyeez yesterday what fun we had! We started in The Elephants Head in Camden, continued to couple of other pubs and I possibly drank my own bodyweight in beer and had to give up after 8 hours. We did manage to squeeze in a Sushi dinner before leaving Camden and heading to central London we had a swift one in The Intrepid Fox before parking our hinies in the Crow Bar.

I fell asleep in the tube home but a kind drunken chap woke me up at Tooting Broadway to check if I needed to get off there. What ever his reasons I was most grateful and I did manage to stumble out in Colliers Wood and walked in mostly straight line home.

This morning I am feeling a tad fragile, but I expect it will pass. Cheers Ladyeez!

Drink by the river


We so pretty....vacant

Friday Friday - so good I had to say it twice!

What a week at work! Less said of it the better and I am happy that it comes to an end today at 17.00.

This week the weather has been cold but pretty and the weather forecast promises kindly some warmer weather with wall to wall sunshine for all the weekend which is nice!

Saturday I have a my annual pub moot with the Ladyeez in Camden Town. There will be beer, gossip and lots of appreciation of passing young male form. I will take my camera with me but no promises of any material that can be published on the world wide web ;)

Have a good one what ever you do!

AC/DC wines

Remember the Motörhead Shiraz I mentioned some time ago? Heavy brought me a bottle of the stuff but I was not very impressed with the contents but loved the etiquet on the bottle.

Well, now AC/DC has come out with a full wine range. Unfortunately it is so far available only in Australia.

The AC/DC The Wine will be available in four different varieties:

•AC/DC Back In Black Shiraz (2010 750mL Dry Red)
•AC/DC You Shook Me All Night Long Moscato (2011 750mL Sweet White)
•AC/DC Highway To Hell Cabernet Sauvignon (2008 750mL Dry Red)
•AC/DC Hells Bells Sauvignon Blanc (2010 750mL Dry White)

And the new edition is called
Thunderstruck Chardonnay



I wouldn't mind getting a bottle of the sweet white You Shook Me All Night Long Moscato. So anyone heading from the Aussie land towards London town, bring me a bottle please?

Strictly quiet weekend

Like I predicted on Friday, the weekend has been nice and relaxing and apart from my chores I have done absolut minimum possible.

Then again, my heart rate did shoot up as I watched gorgeous Harry Judd of the band McFly dancing a Jive with his dance partner Aliona in Strictly Come Dancing.

It was a week 3 with Broadway theme but Harry has been my favourite since the launch episode. I hedge my bets here and I hope he progresses all the way to the final. Phwaaaaarrrrr......gorgeous!

Sunny October Friday

Gorgeous morning here in London town! People are smiling and "Happy Friday" is todays most common greeting with people arriving to work.

This weekend not a lot is happening but that just suits me fine. Have a good one!

October full moon

People are strange. And that is a fact that I have once more noticed to be true. Once again somebody in the forum that I hang out in has gone totally mental. This strange woman has completely lost it and is living in a world that is most definetly NOT on this planet and it is clearly affected by something far stronger than a full moon.

Why why why oh why? Mind boggles what drives these delusional people (who clearly are having a sort of melt down) hurt others as a hobby. *shaking my head* sad sad sad......

In bed with Jo Nesbø

I had a quiet weekend and most of it I spent in bed with a book by Jo Nesbø called The Leopard. And a good book it was too as I had trouble of letting go at the end of it.

This morning in the tube whilst reading another completely different book, my mind kept drifting back to the story of The Leopard and it's twists and turns and especially the many different and discusting ways of making another human being suffer and then die. *shivers*

But this Norwegian author keeps me entertained with his books and I am looking forward to the next one called Headhunters.

October Friday

This week has been long and cold. The temperatures have come down about 20 degrees since this time last week and the long trousers are back on.

Good news is that there will be £75 billion more of the beautiful cash printed by the B of E. But in my opinion it is a bit too late to fart when the economy has already shit it's proverbial pants and it will turn out to be too little too late.

Stranger news hail from the states side as I read about the Amish feuds where mens beards and womens hair have been forcibly cut. Curiouser and curiouser these religious nutty news and all they manage to do is that they just force my standing against all kinds of organized religion.

And what made me smile was this story of Sausage, the Athens riot dog as it provided something other than bad news from Greece.

But never mind the rest of the world as I am few measly hours away from the freedom that is called the weekend. Life is good ;)

Food - therefore I think

I saw this article and it did not surprise me in the least. Only time when I am not thinking about food or drink is the occasional sighting of the Handsome Stranger that bring up the very occasional carnal thoughts.


Here is the delish mixed fish dish from Lisbon trip and
have a guess what I am thinking...

Reasonable doubt

In Italy they have just showed what that is. Reasonable doubt was brought on by (the nothing like TV's CSI!) Italian small town police, silly prosecution and incompetent lab work. The evidence clearly left room for reasonable doubt and now Ms Knox is free.

Well, is she ever really going to be...? If she can earn a million dollars from an interview she should do it because what are her chanches of normal life ever after all this?

What also escapes me is that there is already a bloke convicted of the murder with actual evidence that holds. Why is there still the need to prove something else? Maybe that is all that there is, but I guess it is highly unlikely that we will never know.

How does this affect my life? Not at all and I am thankful for that.
