I have been meaning to write about this for a couple of weeks, but for some strange reason it slipped my mind. Just over 2 weeks ago, my African Princess was heading home for a family visit to Botswana. The flight time was at an unearthly hour of the morning, which meant taking the tube to get to Heathrow...

Two things in London that you can almost rely on – they are almost a dead certainty. During the summer in London it gets real fucking hot on the tubes – unbelievable hot and delays. Air conditioning just doesn’t exist. I know its the 21st century and men have walked on the moon, but air con...

I got a new toy the other day, an iPod Nano 16GG to be precise and a nifty wee thing it is too. I have been having some fun playing around with the video recorder on the little power tool.

I know that people love moaning and complaining about the quality of service, of the tube system in London, but I personally haven’t...

Finding my way around London was an art that I had to quickly learn, it sure as hell, isn’t fun getting lost for hours and of course it costs an arm and leg to travel in this city. And I almost forget the minor inconvenience of always turning up late. I must admit I have been lost and dazed in...
