Action plan

You know there's something wrong when you open the door, feel the scent of death hitting your nostrils like a 46 ton steel boat hitting a 16 ton tow boat, relax and think mmm, home!

Appalled by my almost total lack of interest in sightseeing, Björne has sent me an action plan for the coming week. Apparently, I am to visit

Buckingham P.

Or the alternative London tour:

1) Buy dodgy burgers from hawker at Borough market.
2) Drink at the Crobar and Intrepid Fox until you pick a fight with a goth.
3) Go shopping in the Woolworths at Angel *shudder*.
4) Visit London Zoo and incite the monkeys to fling poo at the German tourists.
5) Visit The Ivy and call all the celebrities bastards.

Football is a winter sport. They don't play in the summer. However, I imagine a tour to the shit ends of london to see football stadiums is not going to interest someone like or I.

Crown jewels and the rest of the tower of london is worth it. Need to get there early as it gets busy, and you can't get in after 16:00 even if there are no queues.

Have you been to the national gallery? I'd put that on the list too.

nonono, in the summer they play football. in the winter they play ice hockey.

The village has a country pub, with no stella :-) (I think)

The houses are outstanding. The have modelled vines, leaf by leaf in the scale 1:76!

Their calendar seems to need an update though.

You missed the tour on the top deck of a double decker (preferably a Routmaster, which are still doing the tourist routes).
Feeding pigeons in Trafalgar Square.
The whispering gallery at St. Pauls.

The John Soames museum (http://www.soane.org/) is on my actual list of tourist places I really must visit at some point.
And I work just round the corner from Doctor Johnson's (http://www.drjh.dircon.co.uk/)

I guess I like eccentrics.

pigeons are feathered rats and should not be tollerate, feed or encouraged in anyway, same should be said of their vermin cousin squirrels...
on the alternate trail -
seeing a liberal MP cottaging on hempstead heath
spotting a tory on a bike to pretend that they have higher asperations then just power
watching a new labourite have minor angst about use of a pirus as though it is eco friendly it does not support uk industry
A respect MP being lynched the moment they actually visit their constituancy in bow - though the london olympics may be sooner.
