Curry and Mouse Poo

TOP curry yesterday, went to Tayyab near Whitechapel, very good, queued right out the door, which makes a change from all the hustling you get on Brick Lane... had a few pints before in The Ten Bells, also well recommended.Note to self: Never, ever g...

This is my new weblog...

...which I am being forced to write so my boyfriend can read what I have been doing and what I am thinking at all times. This weekend was fairly unproductive. We did make the effort to go shopping but gave up in despair after an hour or two. Too m...

I went to the zoo today

I was in training all day today at Port Lympne, and what was the most exciting animal I saw? Yes a squirrel!OK I did see rhinos and a red panda on my lunch break, and monkeys by the truckload, more pictures to come. Also they messed up my lunch again...

There is one upside to having mice

It means you dont get rats. I was talking to our zoologist yesterday and he said that mice have no bladder control/muscles and so when they have to go they just go. Bit like an F1 driver then.

I've been to the Pret over that side

And been to a couple of pubs round there... just had a wonder round here, lunch today from Antimony (vegan pate sandwhiches, a carrot and onion burger thing, and a fruit salad), and coffee from the tiny and slightly grimy cafe. Passable, half the pri...

London by London: The Insiders' Guide

I thought this book from the London By London people was going to have a little picture of everyone who'd contributed on the cover... I thought at the time that that was a good scam to ensure people bought it, I might have bought it if it had a pictu...

Restored to full health, and wealth, beside the sea

The Telegraph does a feature on Folkestone property... Good work! They say:For several very good reasons, this town is abuzz. The Channel Tunnel is just up the road, its high-speed rail link to London is being extended into Folkestone's two stations ...

Someone must have been inside!

It's not exactly a prime location right now, but hopefully something will reopen one day... twenty years though, that's crazy.

Shut outside the office in the cold for AN HOUR!

Dang, due to a combo of training days, meetings, and days off there was no-one to open the office today, so the few of us who were in early were stood outside in the cold until someone finally came in.Tired today, did sleep on the way in, but not fee...

RE: DARKSIDED!!!

I can't hear that at work, but I bet its a beauty!!

Yes, there's the devoted audience to consider

And also potential advertisers!

I'll have another look at the pictures Clare took at the weekend and either pick the leasy mongy or do another shoot...

RE: DARKSIDED!!!

I live in Seattle (geographically, just about as far away from this woman's home as one can get and still be within the US), and we're as dumbfounded by this display as you are. It frightens me to think that this woman votes, but at least I can now u...

Dum Dums

Josh sat with us (about 20 Dum Dums fans) for TWO AND A HALF HOURS on the freezing cold pavement, chatting, signing stuff and letting us listen to new demos on his CD player.The band were only allowed to play two songs acousticly (Steve learnt the bo...

Jude Law

Not spotted by me, but by someone else in the office, just now, here in Primrose Hill. He was talking to someone about showers.

Natalie Imbuglia

She was outside Brixton Academy after the Coldplay gig on Sunday night. She looked a bit of a tramp, dressed like a soldier in full combat gear, but she still managed to make it look good. She refused to answer our question of what's happening with...

Emma B

The diminutive Miss B was gassing on the dog and bone after chucking out time late on Saturday evening.

Melinda Messenger

around 12ish, Sunday. We said hi. She said hi. She walked on. That was it.

Dave Lee Travis

Does that count? I think he's the breakfast time DJ on Pension FM or something, and for some reason they seem to think they need to advertise, even though their main audience still think TVs are "new fangled".....

Mew from Elastica

Ok, so they'd been DJing, but Mew was sick on the pavement outside after I'd been very patronising about how drunk she and Justine were. They had the last laugh, as I stood in the puke as I was leaving and slipped. Didn't fall though.

Charlie and Charlotte from the Fighting Cocks

erm, fighting. and yelling at each other, late on Thursday night. It stopped traffic.

Mel from Big Brother

It was about 3 weeks ago - 11am, and she was either pissed or lost. she had posh clothes on. i got the impression she was waiting for someone to recognise her, so i just barged past her into the bank. she's very short.

Fran Healey

Walking outside, clear as day. Just brazenly walking down the path, without a care in the world. Smiling at people as he walked past, and just being so, well, super and nice. He looks like such a nice guy. Doesn't he?
