My Wife Went to London and All I Got was this Lousy T-shirt (Really!)

She assures me that everyone is wearing this Saatchi Gallery souvenir ... but I mean, come on ... so cliche.

Uncanny

Don't forget to look at the video replies; they're pretty funny too. Here's just one:

Joanna Lumley is Absolutely Fabulous Pt. 2

Joanna.

I never thought I'd say this, but Joanna Lumley for PM.

The Bond Girl and New Avenger and Patsy from AbFab has now become a major activist on the political scene.

Good on ya.

If You're Easily Offended, P**s Off

A submission by reader Chris ... Good stuff, but grotie in parts. The parody of the Eastenders theme is worth price of admission!

You're What?!

Get this: The trouble and strife is going to London on business in few weeks and not taking me!

Do You Need More Proof?

This webcast happened about six months ago, I think, but I just can't get it out of my head.

Radiohead. The Smiths. Was there ever a more amazing convergence of gear-ness? So British, so awesome. It's motivation for keeping the blog up for another several months, I'll tell you that much.
