I can't believe that came from your mouth!
Charles Dickens Memorial
I stumbled onto this carved panel on a building here in London’s Marleybone, depicting some of the famous characters created by the novelist Charles Dickens. Scrooge, Oliver Twist and others are shown.

I Like My London on the Toasty Side
about 10 months ago - 1 comment
I have written before that this is the year of the Mob. Now many parts of the UK are aflame and leftists dance with glee in the streets. The news says hilariously that the cops are going to break out the water cannons, or maybe a plastic bullet or two to make the mob think…
London Bridge Sunset

London Bridge Sunset, originally uploaded by BelchSpeak. That’s London Bridge, looking at the north bank of the Thames. This shot was taken right next to the replica of Francis Drake’s ship, the Golden Hind, that circumvented the globe, pictured below. And, here is a panorama of the site. And yes, I was certainly drinking a…
Looking out over the Thames

Looking out over the Thames, originally uploaded by Joep R.. I got to enjoy my home for about 36 hours. Now I’m back at Dulles waiting to board a late flight to London. The flight is delayed, I’m stuck in a middle seat because the trip was a bit last-minute, and I will be gone…
I Can Sympathize With the Author

There really aren’t any classes that teach you how to make your child to go the F*** to sleep. My lovely wife and I were actually lucky enough to catch an episode of the SuperNanny where she taught the bad Mom how to get a kid to go to sleep within 20 minutes of quiet…

Tower Bridge HDR [EXPLORED], originally uploaded by Jessica Keating Photography. So many modern structures are beginning to crowd the London riverfront. Here is an awesome shot at night of part of the tower bridge. I love the HDR effect too. Looks so much better than the shot I took with my iPhone below from the…
Memorial of Self Sacrifice

Memorial of Self Sacrifice, originally uploaded by BelchSpeak. It is good to be home. The family went out for hot wings and played pinball and the food and atmosphere was so refreshing after a week in London. I did want to post this memorable photo. It is a memorial to Londoners who died sacrificing themselves…
Bunhill Fields

I picked a random Tube stop after work today and I exited the Underground at Old Street. I headed south and spotted a cemetery that had some truly old gravestones. In the US you really don’t see things just laying around that date back to the 16th and 17th centuries, so I thought I’d check…
Tranny is a Pushy Bitch

When Trannies get old and hit the wall they get angry because no one has self respect so low as to bang them. So they get all uppity and murderous, and in this case, a scrawny tranny shoved her cross dressing lawyer under a train on the London Tube. From the Sun here: A PERSON…
Michael Crichton Died
about 3 years ago - No comments
Michael Crichton was one of my favorite science fiction authors. I have read many of his novels and used to love to watch ER on TV back when it was still good. In many ways, ER went on to revolutionize the way medical dramas are written for television. He was also the true prophet about…
The Daring Book for Girls

I bought the Dangerous Book for Boys for my own son, and I loved reading through it to recapture my own childhood and enjoy the great stories of bravery of amazing men. It had great ideas on how to build go carts, forts, and detailed instructions on how to skin a rabbit, eat it and…

Wait a minute! You mean Scrooge DOESN’T LOOK LIKE AN OLD JIM CAREY?!?!?!?!
