Men holding cans of weak lager produced mumbled soliloquies to the Embankment skyline, their wizened hands stretched out forlornly to caress its many curves. Their coats were stuffed with newspapers for warmth, and I hoped that the ink didn't run off onto their scrawny bodies during the chill, wet night ( Read more... )

Very enjoyable read.

I miss Camden, and I miss London reading this.

Though the bastards demolished my favourite vintage clothes shop.

I don't think Yorkshire allows tramps as such, but our local Big Issue seller is a marvel, he sings The Big Issue every day, just those three words, in various festive riddims. I gather he is moving into a hip hop vibe next week. I commend his spirit in possibly the most certain Conservative stronghold this side of Margaret Thatcher's expectantly dug six foot cavity

My grandma recently took one he handed over, assuming it to be a free item or magazine, and just kept walking until Dad corrected her, and pointed to his freshly gasted flabber. Definite criminal element in that side of the ol' family tree.

Knew you were from wicked stock, ev' since I clapped eyes on that vulpine face of yours. Squirrel incarnate, hah...

Additional: We must hit Camden one day. I have a feeling it'd be riotous. That could mean accidentally burning the stables down, unfortunately. I'm a little clumsy in Camden for some reason.

Nice haul! Gift cards are the best. I have to force myself to stay away from bookstores, otherwise I'll spend every last dime I have on books.

Nowt wrong with that, lovely. Better to ram your head through books than the brickwalls of reality, eh?

All well and good until you break the bank. ;)

Oh they're there to be broken ;) every one of their skulls, until coins and notes flow out in an all-engulfing cascade. Then it'd be books galore for you and I! I'd buy up every store and library, and instal those fantastic moveable staircase thingamajiggers, like the one Belle uses in Beauty and the Beast.
Incidentally, I've never seen a better library than the one featured in that film.
