An Unusual Change Of Direction
It has been said on the BBC, that Sophie Hitchon, who throws hammers for Great Britain, used to be a ballet dancer. And that helps her spinning!
She seems to be doing all right too, as she’s set a British record!
Facebook Tries The Gambling Route
Facebook has decided that the way to salvation is to take the gambling route. They’re starting with bingo according to the Daily Telegraph.
That’s all parents want isn’t it! – Kids addicted to bingo on the Internet.
Olympic Rings On The Thames
I saw these on the Thames yesterday, by Waterloo Bridge
With the one hole golf course, does the Olympic Closing Ceremony have a water-borne element?
The Cheek Of It
Any establishment that displays a sign like this one on the Olympic Park, doesn’t get my custom.
The Cheek Of It

The Big Hole Between Kings Cross and St. Pancras
Looking at this map, it would appear it’s just more offices, with retail underneath.
Could this be deemed boring? A nice public piazza or even some more platforms for the two stations might have been better! But then that wouldn’t have been so profitable.

The only good thing about the Shard is that it’s better than what was there before.
Hackney’s Cracked Pavements
I took this picture in the little bit of the City of London, that is actually in the London Borough of Hackney.
Hackney’s Cracked Pavements
My Hackney pavements are very good, but obviously not all parts of the borough get the same quality of service.
Peer-to-Peer Lending Has A Record July
This article from This Is Money has the story and it seems the banks competence and behaviour is to blame. I can’t see the banks improving their ratings for a month or so, so that must be good for the social lenders.
Am I Getting Better At The Waitrose Self Check-Outs?
I seem to be getting at working the self check-outs in Waitrose. Could my left hand be getting better?
I doubt it. But I’m just learning to use it better!
It is certainly more use in typing!
Sharon From East Enders Was On The Bus!
Well not Sharon, but the character is certainly based on observing women in the East of London.
