A return
November 30, 2006 – 4:28 pmthe last few months have sped past me. i have been busy regenerating london - what a task. a lot’s been happening here there and everywhere and i shall pick up on my ‘reporting’ and let you know what’s been going on in my neck of the woods.
the world out there has been extremely busy too - I’ve a few things up my sleeve I want to be commenting on - will be more on that shortly.
the streets of London for the last oh - i don’t know how long - last month or so? have been flooded with ‘free’ newspapers competing with the ‘incumbent’ free morning paper - the Metro. In the old days you never got a copy of the Metro if you got on a Tube say at 9:35 or so. Now you have the City AM, London Lite and the London paper shoved down your throat. the City AM people are less shovy - and you don’t generally see them in the evening. It seems to be a showdown between London Lite and the London paper - both will have 2 different people standing like 2 cms away from each other - every 2 mins up and down every street - till about 10:30 p.m. at night - trying to offload lots of copies onto you. As anyone could have predicted, there are now a lot of newspapers on the streets. Perhaps we’ll need an increase in paper recycling bins?
anyhow - there are usually some amusing tidbits one can find in these papers - some are funnier than others. this morning’s City A.M. has a couple that made me giggle and I will be sharing them shortly.

Welcome back. It’s been a while! I also have a new job in the meantime with an eco-fashion and recycling startup. I eat and sleep on the run and enjoy every minute of it. Also have (another!) new page. Amsterdam is the same old pretentious backwater and I may have some news soon on the medical marijuana front.
