If somebody offers you chicken on a yacht, take it
I have a re-discovered love for the London Bus.
My bus-pass has given me unlimited freedom to wander around this city, taking in all the sights as I go along. It's so much better than being stuck in a hot, humid underground train. It just doesn't make sense, taking the tube in the summer.
Anyway, yesterday we discovered a part of London, which I have now totally fallen in love with. It has also created in me the desire to be RICH. This may be a slight problem, with the whole...journalist thing. Hmm.
We went to Tower Hill, St. Katharines Docks, Bankside, sat by the river and had pizza, watching St. Paul's Cathedral...doing....not much really. It just stands there, after all. We took a total of 6 buses that night. Went around in circles a few times.
There were lots of people lounging about on their yachts, and one group called out to us as we passed by, and just as I'd been thinking, "I wish one of these yachts would invite us on..", some guy calls out saying, "You like chicken?!" and we just stare at him, laughing. He keeps asking, so we say no we don't like chicken, and walk on, but really, for 10mins after that I wouldn't stop moaning about why we didn't get on his yacht for some of that chicken. How dumb!
Lesson learnt: Take more risks in life. Another way of putting it: If somebody offers you chicken on a yacht, take it.

The biggest, prettiest pub I've seen.
The prettiest Starbucks I've seen!

Ah yes you clearly like the nouveau riche bits of London...try an old and not that flashy money bit of town: Primrose Hill. And if its autumn and windy, take a kite.
