Memorial of Self Sacrifice
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 for others and it dates back to the 18th century. These touching plaques which line a church wall near St Paul’s Cathedral remember the unlucky everyday somebody who never thought twice about themselves to rescue others. It was so heroic and touching.

Travelling Light? How About 200 Pounds of Caterpillars?
about 2 months ago - No comments
An African man made it from his native country of Burkina Faso, through the airport in Istanbul and finally all the way to London’s Gatwick airport, carrying over 200 pounds of dried caterpillars in his freaking suitcase. He claimed the dead critters were his food, because that’s what those Africans eat in Burkina Faso- bugs.…
I Like My London on the Toasty Side

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, 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, 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…

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…
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…
