stupid london

During various parts of my aimless wandereing around London I have noticed some stupid things.

a) This sign at Golders Green station

EdgEware Station

The town/station is called Edgware. It only has 2 e's not 3! Well, it's not as if Transport for London would know would they?

b) The two below signs

The Men's Toilets in Cafe Nero, Fulham

Sign in the Men's Toilets

What else would men flush down the toilet?

c) People on escalators

Those who ever, or have ever, travelled on the Tube will know of the standing etiquette on the escalators. The right is for standing, the left is for walking.
However I have noticed that those people who stand while riding start walking at the end and those who walk down stop and stand for the last few feet. Why exactly? It's like the old Peter Kay cliche of grandmothers and seatbelts.

help!

Yo my homies!

Sincerest apologies for my lack of blogging recently. I am in the midst of a ton of reading for my assignment this year.

If anyone feels they can help with 25 pages on "The Origins, Development and Demise of the Norn Language of Orkney and Shetland" feel free to phone, email or visit.

Further posts later today and tomorrow (to make up for the few weeks since I last blogged!)

googlewhacking

Having just purchased Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure on DVD for the princely sum of £4.99 I set out looking for one. Alas I wasn't able to find one!

So I am creating my own!

bristol civic carol service

Reported in this week's Salvationist is a Civic Carol Service in Bristol.

In the service, they collected around £3300 from the 1500 or so people that were there.

However you do not need to look so shocked (as no doubt you are) as I know why:-

Guest Soloist - Richard McIntosh (Chatham)

Hello fans!

I hope everyone had a good Christmas/New Year/generic holiday period.
I shall return to my blogging ways in the next couple of days, when I will have stuiff to write about, rather than just bumming around the house.
