Do you know the worst thing with London?
All those people who don't live here, coming in for a holiday or the day, and filling it up!
If it weren't for them, it'd be a great place.
It is a busy city, certainly. People here normally travel a minimum of 60 minutes from their house to their place of work. Some are lucky and travel less, some travel more. The biggest regular commute I did was 100 minutes each way. So they don't have a lot of spare time.
You try to catch a train in the morning rush hour. If you aren't within 2 stops of the start point, you stand for your whole journey. Then home again.
Why do we do it, you might ask.
Because it is one of the most vibrant cities in the world. You can get most anything you want, most hours of the day. The food is great. The buzz is great. It is THE place to be, whatever anyone else says. London is a great place after say 9pm, when all the trippers have gone home. Visit Carlucci's, or visit one of the great museums on a late night, or take in one of nearly a hundred shows or concerts.
FemBernie and I went to see a revitalised Gogol play two weeks ago - tomorrow we are going to see one of the international premieres of a budding new playwright at the Barbican Centre. In early November I am going to the RFH to hear Michael Tilson-Thomas lecture on Tchaikovski's early works, and the following day sitting in the same seat to hear MTT and the LSO play Tchaikovski's Overture: The storm, Violin Concerto and Manfred Symphony. No doubt FemBernie and I will be taking in another comedy at one of the other theatres before the end of the year.
Yes it might be busy. Yes it might be impersonal. But I wouldn't live anywhere else.
That's probably because they don't understand a word you are saying. If you spoke proper English, you'd be OK.

If you say "Excuse me" because you want to pass someone that's in your way - they look at you as though you've got your head on backwards.
And when you say "Thank you" with a smile, they look at you as tough you have two heads.
That's probably because they don't understand a word you are saying. If you spoke proper English, you'd be OK.
Could I just add how nice it was to meet you all for the first time last night. I ended up getting away in time to get home before the busses stopped, and enjoyed my time out very much. I was, in fact, a lot more sober than I expected to be on the way out of the flat in the afternoon.
The name of the noodle bar nobody could remember last night is Wagamama - just in case anyone gives a shit!
Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks for being a wonderful Mum to us all, Bernie. I was intrigued to hear that you think I look better out of my work clothes.

When she comes home and finds us all round your house, she might get an inclination!

not that I'm angling for a good spanking or anything.
When we meet for the first time on Saturday, the whistling sound you hear might be my hand on it's way to your bum!

Happy Birthday hun......
I hope it's a really great one!!
I've been told it's not bad, Helen.
Thanks to you all. Got home safely in one piece. Now need to find my bed.
I read this thread, shortly afterwards went to bed and began to read my book (FemBernie - careful!)
Two pages in, I came to this quote:
"Masturbation is cheap, clean, convenient, and free from any possibility of wrongdoing - and you don't have to go home in the cold. But it's lonely."
I just had to get out of bed and post this - synchronicity, or what?

At risk of degenerating this post into stuff women probably don't understand, I have an ideal job for the remainder of the week and possibly Monday.
Working in a "media" company, I lift my eyes five inches above the level of my TFT monitor, swivel it 5 degrees to the left, and 15 feet away is a 42" television which, during the working hours of Thursday and Friday, and Monday if necessary, will be tuned in to channel 4 and allow me, while earning a crust, to watch EVERY BALL as England smack the Aussies.
And, Wasps beat Saracens at Twickenham Saturday with me in the audience, Bath got beat by Bristol, and Harlequins have a whole year to go in ND1.
Good start to September!
