stupid london

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

a) This sign at Golders Green 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





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:-

We were carolling on Tuesday, when we saw these signs.
They were at the St Marylebone Church and Health Centre





Oops!

good intermingling skills

I was back in the old Chelmsford a couple of time this weekend, and it was nice.
Saturday night was the Helen Rollason thingy, with (Sh)enfield (or is that Shinfield?) Band and Chelmsford Songsters. One group were good, the other not so.

Sunday was a day at the Rink then back to Chelmsford for their Civic Carols and Cell Group.

It was at Cell group that we chatted for a bit, Dave poured drink over AJ and we tried to work out if "intermingling" was a word...

It is!

the carolling season

Tis the season to be jolly, or so the song says!

It is of course the time for carolling too.
Since my band was disbanded, it fell upon me to be the duty 2nd horn player for the Regent Hall YP Band.
Being in the YP band only assures one thing.

We play proper carols. Proper carols such as "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town", "When A Child Is Born" and "The Snow Waltz".

We also managed to play "O Holy Night" and "Praise Ye The Lord", a feat not achieved by any other band.

A big well done to the publishers of the "Christmas Praise" books, as they actually incluse a timpani part! Whoopee doo!
