This is a London edition, I spend my weekdays in the land of cheese & onion pasties and Cadbury Flake while Donkey toughs it out with the Germans. He just started school this week, which sounds really excited and nerdy.... I now present:
Hate by Donkey
1) Neighbours upstairs that are raising baby elephants...crying, screaming, jumping elephants. I believe the phrase "drop kick a baby" was used several times.
2) The lack of affordable gyms.
3) Being bikeless.
4) Economics.
Love by Me
1) Not getting shanked at the scary as fuck basement flat my company put me in this week.
2) Marks & Spencers buckets of chocolate dipped cornflakes.... I really want to try the flapjacks flavour but I am scared.
3) Seeing John Lennon's image being used to advertise a £240 Mont Blanc pen... somehow I don't think this would jive with his philosophy.
4) Seeing benches that are older than the country I was born in.
5) Brick Lane curries, as a matter of fact, the casual integration of Indian food everywhere.
6) Coronation Street.
Ugh, the Lennon shillers. A couple days ago on his birthday, I kept stumbling across lists of "How To Honour John's Memory". I thought they'd be, like, "give someone a flower for no reason" or at least "donate to one of Yoko Ono's many John Lennon Memorial charities". But no, it was all "buy all his remastered albums" and "buy this ridiculous overpriced novelty piano". Depressing.
ReplyDeleteOn a brighter note, try the apricot yogurt while you're in the UK. Delish! Also, Curly Wurlys.
