His capital

Things I learned in London this weekend:

1). It's inadvisable to try travelling anywhere near China Town on Chinese New Year -- Looked like quite a cool party from the top deck of the people-locked Routemaster we were trapped on.

2). Primrose Hill is about two yards high, but it offers quite a good view of the London sky-line.

3). Tequila is really expensive in Covent Garden.

4). You can't get into bars wearing tracksuit bottoms[1].

5). Camden is full of people too bohemian to be into sports.

6). You can buy a fluffy pink toilet seat cover with Mr T's face on it in Camden's lock market -- I have no idea why. I made the joke about 'I pity the fool who uses these facilities' that I imagine the stall holders have heard a hundred times before.

7). Bouncers are trained to respond to personal insults by saying 'No, you are' -- rumours abound that older bouncers also have training in sticking their tongues out, and running to tell teacher.

8). The Home Office is one of the god-ugliest buildings in the capital.

9). I have no rythym.

[1] Actually, I already knew that one. Shame that Coops brother didn't, we might have been able to hit more than two bars on the Friday night.
