Bob and Mick on the wall.
Red seats.
Red and white checkered plastic cloth on the table.
4 types of mustard.
HP Sauce, salt, pepper, sugar and ketchup.
And S&M in a London mix on the plate right in front of me.
Kinky.
How many Britons points do I get for actually liking that?
If you want it too, you can get it […]

Two men on a DVD cover

I don’t know why it took me this long, I guess because I all the time hoped that it wouldn’t close. That and because I am shy. So I waited for a quiet moment where there weren’t too many people around.
It’s more than a year ago, I talked about it […]

New Piccadilly Cafe, London

BBC London picked up on the closure of the beautiful New Piccadilly Cafe, you can watch the video clip here.
Meet Lorenzo, watch the waiters in their white uniforms, hear the bells of the cash register, enjoy the gargling pink coffee machine, check out the funky 50’s menu card and recognize scenes of […]

The end of the New Piccadilly Cafe seem to be nigh now. Nigh means 22nd or 23rd of September 2007.
All I can say is: go visit it if you haven’t done so.
I can’t imagine any other place in London where I would go when having a writers block, feeling depressed, wanting to read or […]

You meet this nice street cleaner who asks you how you are while passing him. Good, thank you, and you?
Your busdrive to work passes The Royal Albert Hall, Kensington park, Hyde Park and Knightbridge.
You like the book you are reading.
The sun shines when you decide to go for lunch.
You work only a few hundred meters […]

Spider man 3

Spiderman 3
The first in a long row of blockbusters hitting a cinema near you this year is Spiderman 3. I loved Spiderman 1, was less enthusiastic about 2, and number 3, well …
(there might be some spoilers ahead)

The Fool on Parliament Hill, Hampstead Heath

Parliament Hill, Hampstead Heath
While this weekend was destined to become one of the boring ones, a simple twist of fate turned it into a really nice one. London spring weather was amazingly sunny, my face is amazingly red and in stead of hanging around in cinemas someone showed me […]

Notting Hill blue

A blue house in Notting Hill
A sunny day in Notting Hill.

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 last name is Mack.”
“Ha Ha. Very […]

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.

Museum of London

Museum of London
Wandering through the city, looking for both my mind and my lawless heart, I suddenly stood in front of the Museum of London. I guess it was about time to strike something from my to-see list again.

Spamalot, Palace Theatre, London

Spamalot, the Monty Python musical finally opened in London 2 days ago, after a successful ride (Tony Award) on Broadway.
I am normally not that crazy about musicals, I tend to find them boring. But Spamalot is not your average musical, it kicks ass. It takes the piss out of every musical […]

Anti Beauty - Battersea Powerstation

I loved this building from the very first second I saw it. Today I saw it from close by.

Brighton - all at sea

Brighton - all at sea, a man, 2 dogs and a seagull
I felt someone pulling my hair very gently.
“Wake up now” he whispered in my ear.

Stormbreaker Eye
I took a weekend off from writing, I had a family member visiting me. We have been touristing London, and I learned one thing: I am still afraid of heights. I climbed the first 30 steps of Monument, but had to turn back, after my legs had turned into strawberry jelly.
So I wasn’t exactly […]

New Piccadilly Cafe, Denman St, London W1

New Piccadilly Cafe, Denman St, London W1
More and more rumours are going around that the Cafe, yes the one and only THE CAFE, is closing. The owner is facing another raise in rent, and he is not really willing to settle for that, so if things are not getting […]

You have to know that all the theatreshows in London are being advertised as “The best show in London” and “Not to be missed” and then the name of a newspaper and the obligatory “*****”.
So I went to see Stomp, in the Vaudeville theatre on Strand. Because I like drums and percussion and rhythm, […]

I know I complained about it, but even though the weather was as good as it can be, I stayed inside to watch Holland - Serbia/Monte Negro at 3pm. 3pm UK time that was, which was about an hour too late, so I missed the first half. I keep forgetting that I am living in […]

Mandir temple, London

You have to jump on the tube, and take a long journey North West. You reach areas where the underground changes to overground, and you get off at Stonebridge Park (Bakerloo Line). When you leave the train you can see the impressive Wembley Stadium which is currently being rebuild, and delayed, and on […]

Camden Lock

I never knew London had canals. Not before I moved here at least. They even have a place called Little Venice, which is the place where Grand Union Canal meets the Regents Canal. It is great for walking, because you can walk along the old towpath (from the time they used horses to pull […]
