I thought long and well - limp about telling this one...
as it makes me out as a bit of a nuct. Not to many moons ago, when I was enjoying the spoils of a reasonably well paid job I took it unto myself to make a merry trip to the big smoke to do a bit of shopping, drink one or two beers and catch up with some old friends.

I got into the city at roughly midday on a Friday, for the next few hours I would be entertaining myself - a few beers here and there, a spot of shopping and wandering was suitable time wasting activity. Now although I lived in London for 3 years, I really don't know my way about, however I absolutely refuse to carry an A to Z and look like a tourist. I was in haymarket, bond street I believe - having just dodged evil glances from some anti fur protesters outside Joseph - when I decided I wanted to go to covent garden. Now I realised that I could have taken the tube, but also knew it was very close, so I walked.

Somehow I manged to guess the directions quite accurately, but was somewhat confused when approaching said destination to see a large film crew, a crowd gathered, and some hollywood type from sex and the city in the middle of the road stood on a box... Clearly this was an interesting spectacle, to be recorded for posterity on a mobile phone. . . Oh no, you see I had probably consumed at least 6 beers by this point - so I decided to walk right through the middle of the scene. I only hope that it was take 57, and besides me walking directly through line of sight, would have been a perfect take.

No one shouted at me - what do they expect for blocking a carriage way! I don't know who it was though - I think the blond old one. I would like to think I am so good looking they left me in!
