LONDON AGAIN

I’ve had an interesting last few weeks. My application to join the Childline team in
Glasgow is in the post, but im still job hunting, few things in the pipeline I hope.
I was down in London from Tuesday and arrived back today. I was down meeting
my boss at Emi which was only for 5 minutes, i wouldn’t say my journey was a waste of
time because I like London and got to see new parts. I arrived in the afternoon on Tuesday, so I was pretty tired, did some music industry stuff and then went down
for dinner which was a nice plate of fish and chips. The hotel was a "Travel Lodge" so you get what you get. The room was pretty simple and was a bit dirty, oh well ive had worst. But
its all part of the fun. I was going to a gig that night in “SOHO”, it was a band called
"Broken Records" from "Edinburgh", and it was there I met Jimmy from "Parlaphone Records". The band were great, really good, although I don’t like Soho it’s a very
Feisty area, it being the red light district of London, so not my scene at all. After I
decided to go up to a great pub I found the last time I was here on "Piccadilly square"
"The Cambridge". Had a great pint of "Timothy Landford Ale", one of the best English
Ales beside "London Pride" which wasn’t on tap at the time. From there I went and
Got a midnight snack, sausage and chips. Its so dam expensive in London. I was
Charged 3 60 for a pint in the gig venue, wont be going there again. I went back to
The hotel and planned out my intenary for the next day.

DAY 2

Woke up pretty late about 11 which wasn’t planned because I felt a bit unwell, sorry
Sympanthy needed here right now, no ok. So got on the underground down to "Green park" just beside "Buckingham Palace". A great walk was just what I needed, fresh air
brilliant. The last time I came I didn’t get a chance to go into "Westminster Abbey"
So I managed to get a ticket, and found my self in this great abbey, well more
Like a museum of memorials and graves of famous people from royalty, entertainment, Politcans. I did have a strange feeling it was kind unusual, I wouldn’t
Say morbid but it was as if there was a ghost feeling, maybe im going mad, I don’t know, you judge. I wanted to see certain memorials like "Handel" who was in the
Area known as "Poets corner" which was very charming. I heard during the early
Years of the abbey It was a real privilege and not something that just happended to be buried in the church. An hour later I made my way over "Westmister Bridge" to "The Southbank" to see what was cooking over there. It is a very arty place, full of culture of human monuments, musicians.
From there I went back over the Bridge and walked up past the parliament. The Budget had just been announced so there were thousands of BBC reporters. I find
Politicians very crazy and you can always tell who they are. I went back up "Victoria Street"
and wanted to sit down so found one of the pubs I was in before. It was the "Bag o Nails" so I had a pint of "Bombargder" another great ale,. I should really writer a blog
on real ale, although I love it I don’t drink a lot of it, its better that way. I wanted to see the "Royal Albert Hall" so walked back up to "Buckingham Palace" and walked through
"Hyde Park" which is a great park, very quiet but a long walk but I like walking so
I found it great, so I walked up and there it is “The Great hall of Albert”, that’s a "Michael Palin" parody. From there I jumped on the tube which the tunnel reading to it
Went for miles, "who needs the gym when yourve got London Undergrounds Tunnels".
I jumped on the tube up to "Kings cross" and went from there up to find some food, so I stumbled on a pub called "Lucas pub" which I think was the only decent pub in the area
So I had fish and chips again and this time it was better. I had a lovely pint of "Old Speckled hen"" a strong ale but nice. I then back to the hotel and done some music stuff again, so I


PS full time job at last hopefully, find out tomorrow
