I am an African and Africa is my home turf but mostly Africa fascinates me. My fiancee and I will be getting married in March. For our honeymoon, we have finally decided to travel through Africa in a Land Rover. This is as you know (some of you) that this is a dream of ours to travel and see animals and interact with people. One of my few memories when I was young was reading the Farside Gallery and all the funny books by Rose Rigdens. I would read them over and over as I enjoyed the humour portrayed. So the name of our Landrover is dedicated to Rose and is called Wildside. We will keep you updated on our travels and where we are. This is not just a trip but also a great long ... read more

Arrived at London Victoria Train Station and caught the tube over to Oxford Circus where I was meeting my friends. We spent the afternoon wandering up and down Regent Street, waiting for them to finish building the stage for the Christmas Light switch on. Then joined the queue that had formed next to the stage, around 3pm. We managed to stand by the barrier which was on the edge of the road with traffic still driving past until about 5pm when they eventually closed the road. The event started with Hollyoaks star John Pickard arriving on stage to introduce The London Community Gospel Choir, who sang a number of songs. John Pickard then came back on stage this time with a special guest.....Pudsey! The choir sang a few more songs, before John came back once more. ... read more

28th October 2008 Was half term so I didn't have to worry about college, which meant I could get whichever train I wanted. Arrived at London Victoria Train Station about 10.30am and got the tube to Tottenham Court Tube Station, then went to find the Astoria where the band One Night Only were playing. I arrived at the venue at about 11am to find my friends outside already, two of them having been there since 8am. Nothing much really happened until about 1pm when the band turned up in their tour bus, which they parked near/in? a bus lane and almost got two parking tickets from two wardens in the space of 15 minutes. They took the equipment into the venue, the lead singer using wheeled box as a skateboard which resulted in him getting told ... read more
