Letter to a City:
This was all kind of inspired by Cherry's latest journal. It got me to thinking a lot about London. I've lived in one part of the Big Smoke or another all my life. I think I'd probably pass out if I were ever exposed to fresh air for long periods of time. I'm a big-city kiddy born and bred.

Well I've had a long, but overall pretty damn good week. It started of with the usual SGUK shennanigans down the pub on tuesday as we said so long and farewell to all-round smashing fella Fej who was visiting from stateside. In attendance were myself, Kinto, partiallyblind, Tubesound, Brainfreeze, Snowelf, Cakemix, antenna, arrow, Pearlbass and of course...

Hello sir. I drove past you in wimbledon today! A bit of useless information...

Man, the picnic sounds pretty badass. Wish i was there! Always nice to hear what you fine misanthropes are up to 
Lastly, thanks for the birthday wishes man!
Lastly, thanks for the birthday wishes man!
I actually wanted to write here about something that actually happened a couple of weeks ago. The reason I'm doing that is that what happened threw me for a loop fora while and I felt like I needed some perspective on it all. Plus I tried once already but I just wasn't saying what I wanted to so I gave up to come back fresh...

well, he's gotta take what he can get...
I blame Pearlbass.
And for once, it isn't just because I feel like blaming someone for something so I can extract the urine. It wasa t her urging that I started watching Black Books and hence it's her fault that I seem to find myself slowly morphing into Bernard Black.
I think my subconcious must really hate my job or something. Sure, everyone moans...

Well lordy, I'm getting a little tired of being SGUK chronicler, and hell, you're gonna be getting pics galore out of me, so rather than give the entire details of tonight I'll just run through some of the highlights.
I started off at 3pm at the Crossed Keys with munch, mariana and partiallyblind for a few nice quiet drinks before the evening's chaos. A plan...

Good afternoon old chap. Rather spiffing to see you both Saturday and Thursday what? Manage to address the lack of banter from Saturday on the mid weeker somewhat. Sod it I can't keep this up, for some reason I wanted to do a whole post like something out of Biggles. I'm in a strange mood today. Still, I shall practise my banter and posh twat accent to inflict on you next week

I've heard about that 'allsinging' bloke, seems he used to be called 'pee-pee-legend' or something like that. Made up a few songs about stealing peoples chips I believe (and something about feeling someone's tits?).
Anyway, hope your ok. Didn't get to talk much the other night, hopefully i'll be out before I migrate up north for the summer.
See ya soon

I think my very favourite type of rude customers are the ones who are just too damn thick to realise when you're taking the piss out of them.
"Scuse me, do you have a guillotine I could use?"
"Sorry, I'm afraid we don't"
"Christ, bit of a shit library this, isn't it?"
"Yeah, I know what you mean, all we seem to have are these...

Kate's fibbing we are still play at 10pm on Friday 4th June, come along 
philz:
my dad used to own a newsagents, in which i had to work. i constantly amused myself at the customers expense. even simple stuff baffled them:
"20 Bensons, mate"
"i'm sorry, we're closed"
"but the door is wide open"
"new EEC regulations state the door has to be open 24/7 from today"
"but..."
"sorry. come back at 1pm"
"..."
they always came back at 1pm.

I really am totally unprepared for the onset of summer. I have one pair of shorts which are only suitable to be worn around the house as the elastic is completely gone. I can walk 5 steps and they're hanging around my ankles. This is a mixed blessing, as the Englishman's leg was not designed for shorts.

sounds like a lot of flim flam to me , pastey folk like you burn just thinking about the sun 
So, would anyone be surprised if I said I spent another fun weekend with the rogue's gallery of gadabouts and rapscallions that make up SGUK?
On the Friday I met up after work at SGUK headquarters, The Ship, for a quiet drink with some of the regulars and a couple of others. Here's the roll call:
Asha
DaFunk
Partiallyblind (briefly)
Kinto
Abaddon

XWell I'm in a surprisingly chipper mood today, and I couldn't for the life of me tell you why. It's bizarre, I fee like one of those perpetually happy and insincere people that normally make my fists start to itch within about 5 minutes. The funny thing is, nothing particularly good happened to me.

i'm sure i'm gonna get a slap for saying this, but the utterly perfect, beautiful paragraph that you just wrote encapsulating how it feels to have a moment of pure raw realisation about something so emotionally intangible expresses your inner creativity quite a bit.
theres something really beautiful about what you wrote.
i was gonna sidle past and rant about how great asian perving is, but i feel too empty of thought after reading that; another time.

its the little suprises in our lives that make it worthwhile, and that stamp rates as one of them.
When you think of your grandfather in the future, that moment..the smile..the memories it invoked, will pop up and you'll smile again....far better than getting sad.
my dad died a couple of years ago, and my abiding image for him is of him flat on his back with his legs up in the air, rolling a fag, after he sat on a low stone wall for a break when he was out on his bike. he was pissed and fell backwards off the wall, but didn't stop rolling the fag , and then just lay there and smoked it till my mum cycled back to see where he'd got to.....thinking of him like that always makes me smile.

Ah, Comrade Creamy, that should totally be your new profile pic Have I ever mentioned to you that I'm pretty sure my neighbour's wife is a mail-order bride from Russia?
Have I ever mentioned to you that I'm pretty sure my neighbour's wife is a mail-order bride from Russia?Ohhh-kay... no doubt everyone's expecting me to talk about the recent SGUK meets, it's getting kind of tedious being official SGUK photographer/Chronicler (well, ok, maybe not, you guys are fucked-up enough to keep it interesting )
Ok, so friday was the delectable arrow's birthday, and so, as per usual, the gang was gathered down the SGUK drinking hole of choice, The Ship, for fun...

Next time i'm planning to bring fishing wire and set up some kind of tripping / picture taking device for "fun pictures of people falling over next to the toilet".
OR if we get some people riding horses, we could string the wire between two tree's...
I plan ahead.

I like that. Mariana's underwear came off.
Course it did. Without any outside help.It's specially designed in Japan, for perverts with no fingers.

MOST TERRIFYING CONVERSATION EVER:
Female colleague: But yeah, I think we should just be able to be with who we want, and if someone else comes along, then you should be able to be with that person to, you know what I mean?
Me: Yeah, I guess so, I mean there's nothing inherently wrong with polyamorous relationships. I know a couple of people in an...

Thankyou so much for instructing me in the ways of the tube. I got back to Paddington fine whilst mumbling "navy then brown" to myself repeatedly!

Even now, with some of the best friends I've ever had the temptation's still there to just put off going to this meet or that meet but I don't if I can help it because I know how difficult it can be to feel isolated in the big city. It strips you right down to the bone, leaving you with no-one to keep you company but yourself and sooner or later we all get bored of ourselves
FAN-TAS-TIC.
You never fail to amaze me.
I can go for a pee without the little one screaming the roof down.....
you have no idea how difficult it is to pee when there is a child screaming for you next door.
maybe this is why women get such good bladder control?
By the way, the picnic looked like fun...in a non booblie clamping way...though i suspect that I might have ended up wandering round primrose hill also and never noticing the quiet group of 'mums' by the swings.
