Chelski
So, it seems that the reasons for the men carrying the big guns is to not shoot at the confused American bears stook in a time warp, but they are actually guarding Scotland Yard. Makes a little more sense, as now I'm happy that its not hunting season on these bears.
Anyways, back to something that makes a little sense.
Trying to find a good pub to watch the Chelsea game in I was advised to go the Sports Cafe, Haymarket. So we headed there on the premises that the beer was cheap, there were plenty of screens to see the game on and that the bar staff wore short skirts.
It turns out the screens are plentyful, ONLY the female bar staff wore short skirts and the beer wqas far from cheap. So we left.
There is a nice pub round the corner from the hotel, called 'Samuel Pepys.' We headed here to watch the game and to eat. Being in a happy mood when buying my second round of drinks I had said to the bar maid "and your own." Which I dont think she quite understood. So I said to her, "a tip!" to which she replied,
"oh, I drink fosters too" and took a two pound tip. Which I though was absolutely ace. Although I did not tip her at all for the rest of the night.
Also got my first spotted.
Me, walking down Picadilly Road saying to a friend, whilst holding my camera, "I NEED! to take more photographs, something interesting." When along walks past Matt Lucas. I missed the photo opportunity.
In other news, I learned how to use chopsticks thanks to the nice lady at chopstix, Leicester Square.
