like a train carraige, London always smells faintly of shit. But when it's warm like this, it can be quite overpowering. Do other cities smell of shit as much as London? By that I mean comparable cities, before you all type 'Marrakech'.

It's because the ground that London sits upon has been systematically saturated over the course of several hundred years by millions of tightly packed, miserable, unhealthy people throwing bucketloads of thier own urine and faeces out of the window every day.

In a cruel twist of fate, there has been a long running argument about this damn air conditioner at the back of the room. There are two. One has been set by a person on our row, the other has been set by people...as I say two rows ahead. The person on our row has set the temperature high and the one (next to me) has been set low. I don't know what the expect, for the two machines to pump out opposite temperatures and by the time it travels over to them, will be all goldilocks just right.

Wait a minute. I thought the guy playing the keyboard looked familiar. If I'm not mistaken, he's the same dude who hosted a tv program when I was a child growing up in Philly. But his name was Larry Ferrari. Am I crazy or is it him?

Did it never occur to you and all the other miserable penguinfuckers posting on this thread that moving to the western hemisphere's clammiest city perhaps wasn't such a smart move? Wouldn't it make more sense to up sticks to somewhere like Tromsų, for example?

That's.... amazing. Really. I've cherished that postcard for years. On the back it definitely says Larry Lamborghini, who is waiting to entertain you at some "citytown" (love that word) in or near Illinois.
And now you produce new photos for us. This is excellent.

Paris. Paris smells awful. I almost threw up once on the platform at Bir Hakim the stench of ancient French shit was so strong.

It should be excellent but for me the existence of a different picture of Larry somehow reduces Him from an iconic image to just an entertainer. It's like if you saw a holiday snap of the Goatse man on a deckchair surrounded by his family...
Also it seems a shame that he can't decide which Italian carmaker to name himself after. There's probably a postcard somewhere emblazoned with LARRY FIAT (although I think Larry Lancia would be pretty cool).

Seville had patchy whiffs of sewage, released no doubt by the fact that practically every road was being dug up. Maybe to replace the sewage system...

I know it's not a city, but Newbury only smells on race day. Then it often stinks quite badly of horse poo. Expensive horse poo, though...

I think it's more to do with the idea that mart was in charge of organising entertainment and he kept a smiling Larry locked up and fed him on bombay mix, salted peanuts and cocktails until he was needed to welcome a newbie. larry comes out of his capsule, plays a one note that lasts the entire time you view the thread and goes away agauin. This is horrifying, because we find out that Larry has not only been out of his capsule, but living his own life. Larry has turned away from us and cheekily lived his own life years ago What next?

quote: Lazarus Louis Ferrari, known to us as Larry, was a Boston native, born in 1932, and became interested in playing the organ while attending elementary school. A nun at his parrish suggested he "Americanize" his name and ever since that, he was Larry. He made his first public appearance when he was eleven years old at a church in Boston (he became the church's organist and held that position for several years) and performed for over 50 years. He was the National Concert Artist for the Lowrey Organ Company. Undoubtedly, he was one of the finest organists in the United States.
