I Thought London Was Empty

Various doom-mongers have said that London was empty.

I Thought London Was Empty

This Carluccio’s in Covent Garden seems to be bucking the trend. It looks like it’s standing room only!

Sochi 2014 Advertises On London Buses

I caught this advert for the Winter Olympics in 2014 at Sochi on a 56 bus.

No offence to the Russians and I did enjoy a day trip to Moscow once, but I won’t be going.

Skiing is just not my scene, except on the television.

The ExCel Blows Hot And Cold

I went to the ExCel yesterday afternoon, to watch the table-tennis.

The sport was fine, but that could not be said for the venue.  I was nearly passing out from the heat and left early.  I then had to walk the full length of the venue and then back on the outside to get to the cable-car, as I didn’t want to be in the crush on the DLR.  Although in the end, I didn’t use the cable-car and took the DLR to Bank, as it wasn’t as crowded as after the boxing. I did meet a guy who’d been in the fencing and he said that was freezing. So it looks like the ExCel should look at its heating and cooling system. A Royal Engineer also told me, he’d felt it was hot in the Excel and he’d just come back from Afghanistan.
