The weather is getting better in London now...So is the general feeling of being here.....

Sticksy and Croughy came into the pub last Friday and was great to see 'em again... We went down the road to get a cheap meal from Weatherspoons and as we past the Nat West bank across the road we noticed a few cops holding guns surrounding the bank. More quickly arrived and we were asked to get off the street and into Weatherspoons. Crowds of people watching the siege and seeing staff being evacuated from the bank. The culprits threw a shitload of dosh from the top story that fell to the streets below... We were evacuated via the back entrance and had to take the long was back to the Camel, only a few hundred metres down the road. ... So we get back and notice the street blocked off by police from the front of our pub.. A camera crew was set up outside doing live interviews for the news, crowds of people inside cheering and going silly as we watched a live report that was headline news. You could see us all in the backround..... Theres always something going on here....


Stayed on with Sticksy and a few others for a few drinks before heading to a pretty cool bar called Grand Central, in Old Street. Left around midnight as it closed and headed to Temple walkabout with Peter, Bruce, Nick, Mark etc etc.... Sticksy had to get the last train back to Fulham...... It got messy again and somehow ended up back at Pete and Melissa's place sprawled out on a fold out couch watching DVD's on the big screen...

St Pats day celebrations in town today. Im outta here to catch the parade and soak up the atmosphere in the sun!
