London

 - posted      Profile for London           Edit/Delete Post   Reply With Quote 
Whoohoo I am coming back to my beloved city for a whole eight days. Being away from it has enabled me to see it with fresh eyes. I love everything I see: corner shops and horrible kids kicking bikes. Dogshit on pavements. Scary dealers outside pubs. I am wide-eyed as an ecstasy victim, cherishing every poke in the ribs, every muttered swear word in my ear on an overcrowded tube. Of course this is love borne of distance; this is the lust of separation; but I will revel in every second.

WHAT I MEAN IS: I am coming back to London for Easter! Apart from the BREAST MEET REDUX at Brady's on Thursday 20th March, what should I do? What would you do if you had not been there for ages and suddenly you were? What art shows should I check out? What cultural happenings have piqued your interest? Of course I can Google this shit, I can read Time Out, but I want to know what you, TMO, would do with a week in England's greatest city! Spill your guts below…

I'm here but my answer would be useless to you as I really dislike London as a place so I would recommend going somewhere better.

Newbury's pretty good. It's even better now that we've got an Italian-style Piazza™. And it's said that we'll benefit from something called a "cinema" by the end of next year.

Yeah, Newbury's pretty damned fucking awesome.
Doubt you'd like it though...

Halloumi!

You should start with a late breakfast at the Regency Cafe and after that wander down the road to see the Modern Painters exhibition at Tate Britain. Afterwards, amble east along the river, cross the magnificent Thames and if the weather's shit catch a movie at the NFT. Then maybe a very British snackette, like potted shrimps or devilled kidneys at Canteen at the RFH. After that, back over the river for a few pints at the very beautiful Blackfriar, then you have to get a taxi, a proper London black cab, driven by a racist arsehole, towards good old Shoreditch where I'm sure you'll find something engaging to do. Finish the night off with a beigel if you decided to skip supper at Les Trois Garcons.

Brighton is good. It's like a smaller London but with nicer people and clean air.

Or go to Dubrovnik. I just found a deal for flights and 7 nights in a 3* hotel there for £330 per person.

Look at all these people who've obviously been lurking all morning. Waiting for someone to post something they can reply to.

TMO is in need of leadership

I'd be happy to lead you, but I'm feeling a bit weak after the four hour asthma attack I suffered last night.

*wheeze*

You misc? ha ha. You're not leadership material. You're strictly comic relief.

Why don't we each try to start one thread a day? Even if it's rubbish, boring, or chat-based. That'd be about 10 new threads a day. It would be amazing. I dare you all to try it.

Doesn't matter. Everyone can post the most shit thread they like. Like I did. I fucking hate Brighton, I'd love to have a place to rant about exactly what I think is wrong with it.

Oh and be sure to refer to Scots as English and Belgians as French, just to complete the package.

Good luck, I look forward to reading about your adventures as a hapless American tourist in London. Which could also be a title for a future porn movie, should you ever decide to venture into that area of entertainment.

That's basically pretty much what I do in Sweden, actually. I mean the hapless and slightly ***** tourist thing. Not porn films.

Gay people are officially cool so I win. Well, apart from the squeaking queens. Why do they have to act in that awful way that is exactly like every other squeaking queen? Just because you're gay doesn't mean you have to follow that exact rubbish stereotype you gay twat.
