Not only does Sainbury’s have the nicest cassiers (they really do, they are always friendly), they are also the most considerate supermarket in London. They really do take care of their products. (Sorry for the blurry picture, I still have to get used to the autofocus feature on my mobile.)

Stress and deadlines Writers block My blood pressure too high There’s only one thing saving me … – Oh come on, “saving me” don’t overdo it, it’s pukey.

Michael Palin 1. I wondered how he would be. Would he be just as funny as on tv? Oh yes he was, he was hilarious, he has a very silly sense of humour and made everybody laugh a lot. 2. Charming, oh so charming and down to earth. 3. Little chance Michael Palin will do [...]

Flushed Away So yes it was a part of the NFT youth program, but they had the preview, and I couldn’t wait to see Flushed Away (imdb) longer than absolutely necessary. It will be released this weekend, and it is safe to say that this is a film suitable for the whole family. Children (and [...]

One day at the time Hence the gap. He is tall, somewhere in his 20′s I think and he is here with his little sister (which is about 12) to see Flushed Away, in the NFT’s Movie Magic program, a program with film for younger audiences. Let’s not get into what a 40 year old [...]

In your eyes But I have an Eye on The London Eye. (The words in red are from Peter Gabriel)

Rayners Lane OK, so I left work at 5pm, because I thought 2 hours and 15 minutes would be enough to travel to the end of the world. Or the end of the tube map rather, I needed to go to Uxbridge which is the end of the Piccadilly Line, there were the trains drive [...]

I want it now The subtle difference between knowing what you want, and knowing what you need is probably one of the hardest things to learn. Yes I am a Tragic Romantic. Cos you’ve got my heart in a headlock You stopped the blood and made my head soft And god knows You’ve got me [...]

Daniel Craig Mr. Blue Eyes The first time I saw the new Bond was in Oxted cinema. Oxted is far, it’s even beyond the M25, which, for Londoners, nearly categorizes it as being on the country side. The idea was nice, seeing Bond in a small independent cinema away from the West End, and it [...]

Daniel Craig is Bond, James Bond in Casino Royale Daniel Craig is Bond, James Bond in Casino Royale Casino Royale Daniel Craig is soooo hot. I didn’t write that. Did I just write that?

Nice pickup line now that I think about it.

Hitchhikers Guide inspired poem.

Barbican Tube I need to deliver a one page treatment (this time for real, there is no more postponing now) on Monday, which means that my brain is trying to make sense of the gazillion of loose story ends that are orbiting inside in my head. And things not making it better – the tutor’s [...]

Harrods, London Cairo? No, London. The British Museum? No. Harrods.

Remembrance Day London Lot’s of paper poppy flowers. (Written in a Cafe on Magrathea)

Lee Mack A short landing around Tottenham Court Rd yesterday, before we took off again. “I know where to go.” S. said. “Oh Comedy. That is where you are supposed to laugh isn’t it. Don’t like it” that was the state I was in. “He’s funny trust me.” “I’m not really crazy about standuppers.” “His [...]

Empty in head and Lost. Mostly Lost. So. I texted S. “Please come and pick me up”. Half an hour later I heard him making a reasonably silent landing in my back yard. He didn’t even stumble over the bin this time. “Where do you want to go my child?” “Just off, away from here, [...]

Spike and Whitey in Regent Street Spike and Whitey in Regent Street We have a serious problem. What, what do you mean? She absolutely hates Christmas.

The Girl In The Cafe What can I say, Bart doesn’t like Bill Nighy. Ouch. I am not entirely sure that he likes the film either, but read his review yourself. In the mean time, one Girl is trying to catch some sunlight in Spain before flying to Holland, and the other one is in [...]

City of London Police He is a huge man, filling nearly two seats in the bus. Bold head, and in both his ears a golden earring. He reminds me of Whitey. I assume he is Irish seeing as how his mobile phone chain has Ireland written all over it. On the big fingers of his [...]
