Hey folks, in an internet cafe in London right now and its pretty cheap so I thought I would just fire off a quick update! It was so hard to leave Switzerland but all good things must come to an end. When I win the lottery I am definatly moving back there! Hopped on the 6 hour train to Paris and wow was that boring. The definate advantage of Busabout is that when you are on the bus at least you know the person sitting next to you speaks English and that they arent on their way to work. Spent some good quality time with the Ipod and the journal. Got into Paris and once I got off the train it was strange that everything in Paris was familiar. I got to the hostel and I ... read more

So anyways, now Dad says if they close the borders on account of Bird Flu, he's going to have to troop in and save me, SAS stylee. His complaint about that is that he has too much work on to take the time off. Indebted to your dedication, I'm sure. I've only got one jab left, and Stu's only got two, so we're almost on our way. Now if we could just crawl out from beneath our respective workloads, we could probably start getting pretty excited about now. Christmas at Chez Hazel this weekend, which should steady the brain a bit. Well provided HG doesn't freak out at the TOPS present I bought for her. Aaaaaaaaaaahhahahhahahahahhahahahahhaa. Oh hang on, wrong blog. This is getting confused. Stuart announced to us all last night that he planned to ... read more

HG and I are hanging around the London Film Festival like bad smells at the moment. So far we've seen Elizabethtown, which we almost missed because Orlando wouldn't stop talking to me on the red carpet. He's lovely, but so clingy man! Then we saw A Cock and Bull Story, with Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon. Well not with them, we ditched them at the door, but they were in the film. What else...umm, oh yeah New York Doll, about Arthur 'Killer' Kane, The Wendell Baker Story, and Linda Linda Linda. 5 down, 5 to go. It's providing a welcome diversion from work, which is doing my head in. Found a top cheapy Chinese place in Chinatown the other night, called the Fook Sing. I like it because for 4 quid I get a heaving plate ... read more

Just missed out on another Saturday night, thanks to the Rabies vaccine. It was to be a party full of frenchies too, and the flat got to go except for me. Bleeuurrgh. It's about 11.30 and I shouldn't be here until 1.00. I swear I'm due a bit of good karma. Yesterday, while the others slept it off, I went up to Spitalfields (or what's left of it), and then wandered up Brick Lane. I was aiming for a vintage shop I've been meaning to look at, but it was closed. Typical. That's how it goes in this town. Afternoon was better. Jim took me out for Tapas, somehow the flat ended up watching 4 hours of South Park, we spent a bit of time being very mean about the people coming to look at Rémy's ... read more
