open house

This weekend some of London’s best kept secrets are open to the public. Open House allows you to go inside some of London’s most famous and archiecturally inspiring buildings. I want to go and see The Hoover Building in Perivale [now a Tesco superstore facade] or Angel/City Road tube station which is disused – and I’m sure would make a fantastic restaurant or bar.

GAH and again GAH! Whilst

GAH and again GAH!
Whilst in Tesco getting lunch I picked up some Cola and Lime fizzy lances for davo and his flatmates to enjoy.
I also purchased a bumper bag of fizzy [substitute extremely sour] strawberry flavour [well actually 9v battery with a little strawberry aftertaste] lances for a snack later. BIG mistake. After pulling my tongue off the first one in recoil action as if shocked by licking a live wire I decided to wander around offering these ‘sweets’ to unsuspecting colleagues.

Meg – ‘they taste of ming’
Paula – ‘why would you do that to yourself? I mean why eat these things’
Patrick – ‘can I have another one?’
Jen – ‘they are nice in a perverted kind of way’
Michelle – ‘oooooh aaaaahhh’
Darren – ‘is this an endurance test’
So the verdict? go on try them – only 95p for 200g of pure sugar evil
