Living in this town I've become pretty good at picking who the wierdos are a fair distance off. The other day a knew this wierd cat was goin to ask me for either cigarettes or cash when he was at least 200 yards away. I gave him a cigarette, but do not fret, I haven't begun to smoke. Yous see, a good way of making a bit of bunse (bunsen burner, nice little earner) on the side is to but a 20 pack of benson hedges for £6 and then selling them to customers of workmates for 50p each.
Anyway, Little Britain is pretty much spot-on. Especially Vicky Pollard, violent girl gangs bashing people is rife here at the moment. League of Gentleman is pretty accurate as well. i have been chased out of six corner shops over the past month by people with slightly up-turned noses.

Wimbledon
Turns out Englands got a new Tim Henman. A player by the name of Murray who always makes it to the second week but always manages to disappoint. Apparently the Williams sisters rig all the matches aswell, but their good enough to beat everyone else to they deserve everything. And now the Fed-Express has turned inot the Fed-Daily Mail.

Iced Coffee and Quesadillas
Its been a while since my lsat post and im evan forgeting howe to spill. I've had many great adventures in the period though. From watching the Euro finals to visitng London twice, many good things have happened.
It was my birthday last week so my brother and I decided to go Wimbledon to watch a bit of tennis. Based on our experiences at the Australian Open we decided to get there at about 10:30 and but a ground pass. Needless to say this wasn't the best idea. We were told it would be a 5 hour queue to get in so we decided not to bother. To our luck though we were handed a free ground pass from this lovely lady, but the problem was it was only one. So we sold it to this Indian for £10 and headed on our merry way.
We headed then to the National Museum and Camden Market where I nearly bought this t-shirt that said Hiro is my Hero (from Heroes). If I was to need assistance Hiro or Jack Bauer would be the best people for the job. Although Jack Bauer is slightly over qualified and completely fictional.
We then stayed overnight at my cousins flat in Sheperds Bush and decided to just drink there in the vening whilst watching the Glastonbury Festival on tv. Woke up in the morning to the sound of Bryant Adams playing loudly, but goodness was thanked when i opened my eyes and Robin Hood Prince of Thieves was on the television.
Went and looked around London on the Saturday at all the sites which was fun. Had a nice birthday lunch at this all you can eat chinese restuarant just outside the Eye. The buskers along Southbank there were very interesting, some people just paint themselves and sit on a chair and expect money. Giving money to a busker is like tipping people. Why tip people for a job you can do yourself. I dont tip the pizza boy because I can go get my own pizza if I want to. I tip my doctor though because I couldn't remove my own gall stone.
Thankyou to everyone for their birthday wishes and for those who sent something expect a little something in the mail in return.
