- Noble boycott: At least the communists in China have the decency not to soil the Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony with the presence of any of its miserable representatives. It would have been a travesty if some of the regime's underlings attended a ceremony to honour the country's most eminent critic.
- I knew it all along as soon as the story broke last month: the husband concocted the infamous plan to have his newly-wed wife Anni Delawi shot execution-style in a Western Cape township near Cape Town. I hope he will be thrown into the Indian Ocean and be eaten by sharks.
- I applaud the arrest of WikiLeaks' Assange today; next stops should be a Swedish court room, prison and finally extradition to the US. Once there he should simply disappear at a place in the sun: Guantanamo.

London Weekend, Guernsey Revelations
After Eurostar, like most of the mass transport of England last week, stopped their often unreliable service in the wake of 1.3 inches of snow and temperatures near the freezing point - quelle surprise in December! - I found myself stuck in London. As a result I raked up a handsome phone bill over the weekend. But, this being London, I found enough activities to beat any emerging boredom right in its tracks.
Talking of tracks: while the ones leading to Paris defied me this time, I carved my own into the ice rink at Somerset House, twice. Together with three reg's, we enjoyed the musical and architectural beauty of the setting at the palace, did our 1-hour routines on Saturday and Sunday, enjoyed the mulled wine and the occasional fall onto the ice (especially when I tried to let Emily listen to my skates carving into the ice up close, bending over and holding the phone close to the skates).
Saturday night we spent at the usual hang-out, Trader Vic's at the Hilton. Great food, good music and fantastic drinks. By 2:30 in the morning we had split as I had to take up my position as weekend psychiatrist of AOL's Anglochat room - a free service of the NHS. It's my way of being Christmassy and compassionate according to the spirit of the season. I extended treatment to such reg's as the schizo-paranoid AOL members coma284, brandi620, Lameducks, Sugapiehineypunch, AlteredStates (a pun of mental debilities), and the crystal meth victims Carrcrater, vickylake, crampierat and doveinamist. The sessions went by uneventful, no further actions like forced injections or straight jackets were needed this time.
I also am in the midst of reading two books; one is Paul Erdman's "Crash of '79", the other a historical account of Guernsey, a renegade island off the coast of France that was deeply embroiled with the Nazi henchmen in the 1940s. Turns out that the people of Guernsey not only fraternised intimately with the nazis, even to the point that inhabitants of neighbouring Jersey were appalled, but they also made sure that all of the island's Jews were murdered. Two concentration camps on the islets around Guernsey were sustained by the crucial help of Guernsey folks. Their attempts to white-wash their past sins for more than 5 decades have been completely thrashed by the book. Two schools on the island have been provided by the islanders to the nazis as interrogation centres, from which suspects regularily have emerged dead. Later, after the war atrocities were stopped by British invasion forces, Guernsey has used the institutions to incarcerate, torture and sexually abuse children methodically until as recently as 1997.
On a lighter note: I accumulated 18 hours of OT last week, which I will utilise this week to have Monday-Wednesday as half-days. Afternoons will be spent shopping and visits at the (Germanic) Christmas market on South Bank, with original kraut goodies like mulled tea, bratwursts, potato dishes and gingerbread from Nuremberg. My eyes will be sparkling from the glare of Christmas tinsel and lights, and my hands will embrace the hot cups in nippy temp's. Undoubtedly I shall OD on roasted chestnuts.
You may hate me now... LOL

AOL Splinters
Within 10 minutes of the announcement that Britain's heir to the throne would get married 'some time next year,' a huffing and panting oversized regular of Anglochat blitzed the unsuspecting members with the news that "I'm gonna be at the Royal wedding!"
After the "ooh's and aahh's" of the ambushed crowd had subsided, and the potential party-crashing nutter had caught her breath, someone dared to point out that no wedding date had been announced yet. Feeling caught out again, the Colossus of Rogues - visibly shaken and embarrassed - quickly hissed, "Am goin' regardless, me and me 'Manda, after our cruise out of Miami," and pressed the Anglochat's panic button to drop out with great haste through the trap door which member LaChateauEURO@aol.com had previously installed for such precious moments in AOL's trademark arena for the insane.
Leaves the question of who is "'manda?" Our New York correspondent unearthed some facts about 10-year old Amanda, often referred to as "Tasmanian Devil" in Anglochat. For a long time it was suspected to be the spawn of Satan, or that it may have been aborted from a bulging piñata on Cinco de Mayo in the year 1999. Newly recovered documents, however, shed new light on the origins of 'Amanda' now.

Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving!
It's been a brilliant year so far (minus the broken arm), and a lot of reasons to be grateful for.
We're off to a lavish traditional dinner tonight, and unquestionably will we need a weekend to recover from it.

Traitors - in London and Dublin alike
The Conservative-led government betrays once again a 'red line':
Sending more than $12 billion to Dublin, and to bolster the eurozone without being a member, is a travesty. For decades Ireland bragged as an economic role model, financed with more than $46 billion from Brussels over a period of 15 years, which the EU agreed to transfer to Dublin to coerce the half of the island into the eurozone.
The word of Irish politicians is worth nothing. On Saturday the government affirmed that it will not seek help from the eurozone. On Sunday they crawled on their knees and begged for $128 billion. To assist Ireland would not be so disgusting if it coincided with the transfers of powers from Dublin to London. It is obvious that the Irish cannot - and must not be allowed - to govern themselves. It is repulsive to think that Britain needs to borrow funds at 4.5% and will lend to Ireland at a rate of 2.75% p.a.
It would only be balancing the immorality of the past to give development aid to Ireland now on the condition that it leaves the eurozone.
This article constitutes the termination of my support for Prime Minister Cameron.

Horseing Around
The clock has started to tick for yet another equine member of the Royals. Ever since Charly, the Prince of Whales, has confided to an American tabloid that his two-legged consort would be called Queen - once his mother and real queen has been carried out of Buckingham Palace - some sinister albeit familiar conspirators have swung into action to prevent the unthinkable.
It will be again up to Prince Philip and his phoney pharaoh chum Muhamad Al-Fayed, the Egyptian carpet trader, to concoct a plan to preserve the purity of the inbreds. Philip called his son yesterday to 'congratulate' him for his "dutiful aspirations" but also added that, if they were in the same room now, he would lash Charly's bare bottom with a birchtree branch until "the camel's back breaks". The conversation was leaked to us by someone within MI5.
Charly remained unfazed by his father's strong-armed threat and retorted, "I have been a tampon inside Camilla already, blood don't [sic] impress me much dad."
In the meantime, the plot thickens. Al-Fayed offered the service of a French driver ("Henri has rosy cheeks, is jolly and always ready for a tipple, or two, or 3, or 14") and also a 'very safe, armor-plated Mercedes 600'. Philip asked to put the couple up at some stables around Paris, and Fayed obliged by reserving a suite at the Hotel Ritz for the pair.
This morning a huge white "X" mysteriously appeared on the second concrete pillar of the underpass at the Pont de l'Alma along the banks of River Seine.
It seems all the prep work has been done.

United Queendom
Britain is the drabbest country of Europe, with the exception of London (many argue that London should declare itself independent and proclaim a status of city state like Singapore). Economic crisis, derelict townships and chav-savaged inner cities, no sun and wind-swept; the United Queendom presents itself today as a recession hit theme park, deserted by visitors and with brittling facades rendering it into an unmasked Potemkin village.
With gloom and doom abound, news breaks that the #2 in line to ascend to the throne of the Germanic make-belief fiefdom (after all, it exchanged its name of noble lineage from Saxe-Coburg & Gotha into Windsor(e) some years back, to lure more American tourists through its gates after WW-I) is about to get married to a commoner. While it's good to see that two bright and well educated people tie the knot, and even present themselves uncharacteristically attractively for Brits, the nuptiles do nothing to improve the image of the country, let alone to pull the nation out of the doldrums of general decline.
The world laughs once again at Britain, but Brits mis-interpret the global appearance of bemusement and condescending grimaces as shared expressions of merriment. I approve of, and wish the best of luck to the future couple, which so far seems to have done everything right to break with the tradition of crumbled marriages and dysfunctional relationships which are hallmarks of the world's ugliest monarchy to the naked eye.
London added a new feature to bolster its reputation as the world's top city, rich of cultural diversity and a haven of tolerance: a previously unthinkable French-only radio station hit the airwaves today (link: http://www.frenchradiolondon.com/french/listen-live/?v=1 )
It's a fitting response to the insecure Gallics, who impose circumspectively severe on-the-air restrictions on their media outlets to prevent the use of such potentially corrupting foreign words like 'computer' instead of the complex and elaborate 5-word French term for it (which we decided to ban here). Any French radio station is prohibited to air a greater than 10% share of its playtime with non-French language music.
French Radio London is an enrichment for the country; a warm welcome to London!

L'art de vivre
Emily invited me and 2 of her girlfriends to a restaurant last night. It was the - gasp - La Tour D'Argent! The setting, cuisine and service were exceptional; no wonder we stayed from 8:30pm until past midnight.
When the moment came to fetch my AMEX card, Emily leaned gently over to me, blinked with her lashes innocently and assured me, "it's all taken care of, mon chéri." No bill presented, no moneys exchanged; she had it all previously arranged. And the fact that at the next table dined Catherine Deneuve and her entourage, and Emily struck up a brief conversation with her, only added to the classy evening out.
After dropping in at the Bus Palladium for a while, enjoying some leg exercises on the dancefloor, which I enjoyed especially after the de-casting of my left arm on the previous day, we finally arrived back home just after 3. Tonight we're invited to her mother's place in Neuilly.

Long-term plan: 2012
I habitually hate to make long-term plans, enjoying spontaneity and last-minute surprises too much. But this is a sizzling ticket worthwhile to drop anything and attend:
Lang Lang's first complete Beethoven Piano Concerto cycle in London
Heralded as the 'hottest artist on the classical music planet’ by the New York Times, 27-year-old Lang Lang has played sold out recitals and concerts in every major city in the world. In 2008 over 5 billion people viewed his performance in Beijing's opening ceremony for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (3.8 billion tuned out from the Games afterwards) and the following year he was named as one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people.
Following his sold-out in-the-round performance at the Royal Albert Hall in 2010, Lang Lang returns to the Hall in March 2012 to perform his complete Beethoven Piano Concerto cycle for the first time ever in London. He will be joined by the acclaimed conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Philharmonia Orchestra.
Programme:
Tuesday 20 March 2012, 7.45pm
Beethoven - Overture, Namensfeier, Op. 115
Beethoven - Piano Concerto No. 1
Beethoven - Piano Concerto No. 4
Wednesday 21 March 2012, 7.45pm - - that's the one I will attend!
Beethoven - Overture, Leonore No. 2, Op. 72a
Beethoven - Piano Concerto No. 2
Beethoven - Piano Concerto No. 3
Friday 23 March 2012, 7.45pm
Beethoven - Overture, King Stephen
Beethoven - Symphony No. 4
Beethoven - Piano Concerto No. 5, Emperor
Sadly, I will miss a brilliant evening at RAH on the 25th, trading a fab concert for a Thanksgiving Party instead. And as my fork and knife dig into some roasted bird and its stuffing, my mind will wander to a concert that I shall miss:
Bruch's phenomenally successful Violin Concerto No.1 - performed by Nicola Benedetti - and it is framed by two English masterworks: Elgar's (yes indeed!) Cockaigne Overture and Holst's celebrated Planets Suite.

Sniggers with the N-iggers
Filed by our correspondent at the Los Angeles Bureau
Pretty much everyone receives unwanted e-mail from time to time. My weekly review of the SPAM folder routinely reveals unmarked/anonymous proof of illiteracy at various levels.
AOL members usually lead the list of the insane, with most senior member Netcitizen2006@aol.com claiming the undisputed top spot. The senior whigger, who is a day labourer in the avocado fields outside Oxnard, California, subscribes to dozens of gay porn sites and shares his passion - you guessed it - by linking your screen name to these websites. As he is no smarter than a California Raisin, with looks that match the mind, as he leaves his footprints all over the place, and the porn website will advise you that "your new subscription has commenced thanks to your friend Netcitizen2006@aol.com."
Peculiar as it is, he also sends such invites to female AOL members and girls of age 16-20. All this despite previous convictions for various crimes such as check-hiking, larceny, shoplifting, indecent exposure, grand theft, possession of indecent child images, fraud and public disturbance. Convictions, as far as we managed to trace them, were levelled against Netcitizen2006@aol.com in 1962, 1964, 1967, 1971, 1973, 1978, 1980, 1981 and 1984 (after introduction of the "3 times you're out" legislation, under which a third conviction for a crime leads to automatic incarceration for life, even Netcitizen@aol.com realised that it's too risky to carry on). He spent at least 8 years in various penitentiaries, most notably in the men's colony of San Louis Obispo, Pleasant Valley State Prison (Coalinga) and Vacaville, all in California. Vacaville prison is also the permanent residence of a Charles Manson, Kennedy assassin Sirhan Sirhan is held in PVSP, while several members of his gang that butchered Roman Polanski's wife and seven others are imprisoned in SLO. Hard core criminals, just like Netcitizen2006@aol.com
But the point I would really like to make is to warn the public of a scam to defraud from N-iggers: Nigeria rooted thugs (iggers) that are dumb enough to concoct scams so infantile and retarded that only they believe in them enough to go public with them and expect some unsuspecting fellow N-igger to respond and become entrapped.
Case in point is this crudely composed plot that supposedly entitles me to $10 million from people and companies I have never heard of before. As I said, only some dirty skinned fucks in Uncle Tom's, Dick's and Harry's Hut believe in their tales as they disseminate their imbecile compositions into your mailbox.
This particular SPAM even dared to fake the F.B.I. as the original source. For reasons to maintain the authenticity of the circular I left the niggerish grammar and orthographical errors unchanged.

Rush of blood to the head
Quiet chaotic scenes this afternoon at Party HQ:
first came some anarchist elements among students who protest the changes of tuition fees and general costs to studying in Britain. They left their trademark swath of destruction in the reception area of the Millbank Tower, and some staff from the Tory HO had to abandon their positions, either to be sent home or using our offices. Damage is reportedly significant over at #21, some injuries too, and around 40 riot police have taken up position inside. Unprecedented, all that.
As the Mayor said, a minority of thugs have hijacked the agenda of students who exercise their right to protest. The rampage inside Millbank Tower cannot be justified and I hope that police bloodies the intruders and drags them off to jail.

For Fawkes' Sake
Tonight is bonfire night, and chances that the House of Parliament will come under renewed subterranean attack are slim. Since Labour was chased out of the halls of power in London things have calmed down considerably, and the hands-on approach for serious reforms and productive work under Tory leadership begins to take hold. The world embraces the Conservative-led cabinet: LSE traded shares are at a 2-year high, and Sterling enjoys an ascent from the Labour lows against the dollar ($1.62 as of late, from 1.44 when Labour was doomed by the electorate).
Nevertheless, this is Guy Fawkes Day, and - thanks to our Mayor - the much trumpeted strike by London's firemen has been called off; just in the nick of time before we had gone up in smoke here. Besides our stroll along the embankment to watch the fireworks, and heading to a Camden party at midnight, we'll limit our conspiratory ambitions to fixing Gunpowder Tea from Twinings; no implied pun nor commercial pull intended. I wonder how the Royals feel tonight, trying to remember, remember...
For those who like to learn more about the plot to kill summarily King and Parliament from the comfort of their armchair, here's the link to a fun game to blow up the Commons as often as you wish (if you fail to answer questions correctly):

Nevertheless, this is Guy Fawkes Day, and - thanks to our Mayor - the much trumpeted strike by London's firemen has been called off; just in the nick of time before we had gone up in smoke here. Besides our stroll along the embankment to watch the fireworks, and heading to a Camden party at midnight, we'll limit our conspiratory ambitions to fixing Gunpowder Tea from Twinings; no implied pun nor commercial pull intended. I wonder how the Royals feel tonight, trying to remember, remember...
For those who like to learn more about the plot to kill summarily King and Parliament from the comfort of their armchair, here's the link to a fun game to blow up the Commons as often as you wish (if you fail to answer questions correctly):

VOTE 2010
It's election night, and I will attend a polling event at the embassy starting midnight. A lot is at stake, and Obama and his cohort Democrats are facing a humiliating setback. All 435 Congressional seats are up for grabs, and my prediction is that the current Democrat majority of 39 will turn into a Republican majority of 15-20.
In the Senate 37 of the 100 seats are contested. The current 9-seat majority of the Democrats will - according to this expert - melt into a one-seat edge as the Rep's pick up 8 seats tonight. Watch the current majority leader Harry Reid (D, NV) lose his seat...
Finally there are 37 gubernatorial and State House races, with California as the top prize. I hope for, but don't expect, that the successor of Arnold Schwarzenegger will be a Republican: the resurfaced 1980's governor Jerry Brown could prove too popular and with great name recognition to be beaten.
UPDATE [10:03AM]
Republicans swept the House, capturing a comfortable majority. The Senate remains in Democratic hands with a reduced margin of 51:47 (from 57:40), plus 2 Independent but Democratic leaning senators. 37 Senate seats were contested, 19 from the Dem's and 18 from the Rep's. Republicans won the seats in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Illinois (seat previously held by Barack Obama), Utah, Arkansas, Indiana and North Dakota. Disappointing is the re-election of Sen Harry Reid (NV), who will remain Senate Majority Leader.
All 435 Congressional seats have been up for election and the current Republican gains of 60 seats (10 more seats are subject to recount) to secure a 239:185 majority constitute a landslide victory. The much behated Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been re-elected in her seat, but will be ousted as Speaker of the House. President Obama loses a close, albeit incompetent power base in Congress.
Notable in the 37 Gubernatorial races is the election of Jumpin' Jack Jerry Brown in California (D, 54%), the election of Scott (R, 48.8%) in Florida and the election of dago Andrew Cuomo (D, 61.5%), son of previous Gov Mario Cuomo, in New York.
Of the many Propositions nation-wide the one in California to legalize the "recreational" marijuana use failed by 54-46 per cent.

Paris
Off to strike Paris (no pun intended) at noon; back on Tuesday. It's All Saints Day after all, and the Frenchies take their holidays religiously serious. Sunday and Monday we'll spend at friends' in Neuilly-sur-Seine.

Boris vs Cameron
A political row has broken out today over the government's plan to limit future weekly housing benefits for people on welfare to £400 ($630). Now anyone in the rest of the world could hardly fathom that local governments would throw that kind of money at people who do not work, do not pay taxes and cannot afford living so extravagantly to begin with. Not surprisingly I support Boris Johnson in principle; but I also deem the repercussions of the government's plan as not severe enough to shelve it altogether. The fact remains: if you are living on government hand-outs, it is not unfairly harsh to expect such dwellers to see cheaper accommodations.
The government has decided that routine cases, where families receive up to £700 a week just to be able to live in London, is unsustainable in the current economic climate.
So far so good. Today the Mayor of London, who is involved in a bid for re-election in 2012, took up the issue and clearly embarked on a confrontational course with the prime minister. The row came as MPs debated planned changes to housing benefit, announced in last week's Spending Review, which it is estimated will affect about 17,000 people in London if introduced in full.

Tate Modern
Even though I got a ticket for £6.25 (half price) I still purchased a 12-months membership for £52.00. It's amazing what the museum offers, and I will make it a regular stop from now on. The Gauguin exhibition is just awesome. Probably we'll be here another hour, then hit the book/gift store before heading home.

AOL / FACEBOOK Splinters
The common maternal ANGLOCHAT-ter spends each day on average 03:42 hours on Skype, 07:33 hours on AOL and 09:23 hours on Facebook & FarmVille, often simultaneous. Add the 09:21 hours for sleeping and boozing, and you come up to the balance of time spent each day for the offsprings or - imagine that! - with honest work: none at all, unless cutting the grass or spraying the fields with manure on the cyber farm allows to rock or shake the toddlers on their lap. Sometimes with deadly consequences, as seen with derelict AOL members: whether it's a New Jersey based Abortion Anne, a Long Island brandi-ed cow, a Vegas slut, a psychotic Alabama Carrie or a suburbian Chicago psychopath, a white supremacist tramp from Florida turned fugitive in NE-England, or a tattooed German heffer in Cornwall; they all have in common child abuse and neglect in order to entertain themselves online.
One particularly appalling case is that of former AOL member A. Tobias.
The 22 year old mother from Jacksonville, FL, plead guilty to second degree murder in the death of her 3 month old son Dylan Lee. She claimed that she was so angry and agitated because her child was crying while she was playing on Facebook's FarmVille on her computer.
According to Tobias, she shook her baby while angry, then smoked a cigarette to calm herself down before shaking him again. The baby hit his head on the computer while she was shaking him, causing severe trauma and other injuries.
Internet addiction is a very real crisis as we know from Anglo-ers, and games such as FarmVille are designed to be addictive in order to get players to spend real life money on them. Unfortunately, sad incidents come out of addictions quite frequently and it is people like Tobias, Brenda, Vickie, Carrie, Anne, Nicola, Kendra etc. who give Facebook games a bad reputation and negative stigma.
Alexandra Tobias will be sentenced after her confession next month, and at this point could be looking at 25 years to life in prison.
Hush now, gotta CONCENTRATE on harvesting those crops. Can't have a crying baby disrupt that.

AOL Splinters
A friend of mine passed through a low-income residential area of Nassau Co. in New York recently, and made out a pale behemoth among the crowd of dark-skinned juveniles, either chaotically running across lawns or Jay-walking through the crime-infested neighbourhood, stolen TV sets and audio equipment clutched firmly under their arms. With wailing sirens from approaching patrol cars in the distance, the white colossus stood stoically - presumably accustomed to the chaos, and posed for the stranger, brandi-shing the best smile she is capable of:
The modest 2 1/2 bedroom dwelling at the 1200 block of Jacob Drive in Seaford (NY 11783) is a far cry from what the address plaque of AOL member Brandish620 may suggest. The "12-17" refers to the size of the ass of the Colossus of Rogues, not the spanning outlays of her suburban shed. The most valuable artefact that the passing photographer could make out was a semi-torn Piñata, from which a Tasmanian Devil called Amanda has hetched in 2000. [The runt is in the picture, but obscured underneath the Rokoko outfit] The 1940s Cuban style robe on the blood clot font Queen of Sagginess only accentuates the humongous size of Nassau County's oldest landmark. Little surprise that, to complete the class act, Brenda wears flip-flops with the purple evening robe.

Mayor Success
Wheeling success of Mayor Johnson
People who sign up for 24-hour, seven-day or annual membership can choose to auto-renew, which means they can start a new hire period whenever they want, by simply inserting their cycle hire key into a docking point and taking a bike.
Of the 92,000 people who have signed up for membership, 42% have opted for daily access (£1 for 24 hours), four per cent for weekly access (£5) and 54% for annual membership (£45). At the moment there are nearly 200 docking stations throughout central London. I will be back on the bike as soon as warm weather hits or my cast comes off; whatever happens last...
The bicycle hire scheme, dubbed 'Boris Bikes' after London's Mayor, has proved a resounding success - on October 8 the millionth journey was made, just two months since its launch. Of the tens of thousands of bikes for hire only five have disappeared (in three cases the villains have been found and put to good community tasks).
More than 90,000 people, including me and Emily, are now signed up as members and the scheme is due to be opened up to casual users later this year. In the meantime, anyone who has a debit or credit card with a UK billing address can sign up.People who sign up for 24-hour, seven-day or annual membership can choose to auto-renew, which means they can start a new hire period whenever they want, by simply inserting their cycle hire key into a docking point and taking a bike.

Should be an entertaining afternoon today. It is well known that in professional football, I support the 49ers; always have (when they were lousy in the late 70s, and when they captured numerous Super Bowls in the 80s), and always will (even though they have been the most awful team for the past 6 years). BUT!! They are coming to see us today, cheerleaders included, and the Mayor and Staff will welcome them to City Hall shortly after 4. And when the pompoms are lowered, maybe this tall guy becomes visible standing next to the Mayor.
The 49ers play Denver on Sunday at Wembley Stadium (the game has been sold out for 5 months). Last weekend the lame broncos were thrashed by the Raiders; maybe a good omen for things to come...

Weekend Extension
After sleeping through much of Sunday (well, not me, but her), as we returned home from various gigs and clubs only after 7AM, we decided to recoup partly the lost hours. I took this afternoon off, and she re-booked her departure for tomorrow. Another dinner gained (as last night's bash in Camden did take place).
I got a ticket through the office for the spectacular Gauguin exhibition at the Tate Modern, half price. If the weather is nice (like today) I might even stroll directly from the office. Friday is another half-day, as I board the Eurostar bound for what has become the twin city for me; the City of Lights. Amazingly, it will be this year's 10th visit already to the city by the Seine, and it hasn't lost one iota of its seductive appeal on me.
Tonight we'll be at Trader Vic's; my home from home. LOL

London Weekend
The weekend starts today, precisely at 2:30PM when Mrs E arrives at St Pancras ("International", as it likes to be called) to be treated by Mr E to a flute of bubblies at Europe's longest champagne bar.
It promises to be great fun even with the arm in a sling: the Bloomsbury Festival returns after a three-year hiatus, with more than 100 events for art lovers, music fans, shop-aholics, literature buffs, etc. Taking place across the area, the programme includes a lantern-lit procession (tonight 6-8pm), dance snippets by The Place all around the festival site (Sat, Sun), music in the area's parks and gardens (Sat, Sun), a tour of the secret spaces in Charles Holden's Art Deco Senate House (Sat 10.30am), a South Asian festival (a MUST!) with a food market, henna hand painting, dance and music at SOAS, and a street party on Lamb's Conduit St with music, entertainment and food (Sun 4-9pm). There are also open days at local museums including the Dickens Museum, Foundling Museum and Cartoon Museum.
Two dinners, a brunch party on Sunday and nocturnal pleasures complement the exhilerating joys outdoors until Monday morning. It's good to live in London.

A Security 'Warning' From - chuckle - Moscow!
Of all places, a Moskovite felt the need to warn the Olympic Committee not to award the 2018 Soccer World Cup to England, "due to the high crime rate and the culture of public binge drinking there." This despite the fact that based on these two criteria Moscow would be ruled out for the next 300 years: deaths from excessive alcohol consumption - Moscovites drink vodka like Brits jug down cider - are 1,300 per cent more than in London, and the number of murders is six-fold that of London (2009 figures).
The leader of Russia's 2018 World Cup bid today had to apologise for making slurs against London after a personal intervention by Mayor Boris Johnson. Alexei Sorokin, chief executive of the Russian campaign team, was forced on the defensive after he said London was plagued with record levels of crime and youth binge-drinking. His humiliating U-turn came after aides of the London Mayor this morning contacted Sorokin's office to demand an explanation for the outburst.
Mayor Johnson immediately refuted the claims, writing on Twitter: "Can't believe Russian slurs over 2018 bid. Pls tell them crime is down & London's the most tolerant city in the world."
A spokesman for Sorokin said the comments reported in the Russian paper Sport Express were "mistranslated" and taken out of context. The spokesman said: "Mr Sorokin regrets if his statements have led to such an erroneous interpretation and understanding."
Sport Express initially reported Sorokin as saying: "We do not enter into squabbles, although we have much to say. It's no secret, for example, that in London they have the highest crime rate compared with other European cities [FALSE], and the highest level of alcohol consumption among young people [not per capita].”
Sorokin's comments could land him in trouble with FIFA, whose strict rules prohibit comments about rival bidders.

Guernsey Inbreeding
A good friend of mine has recently relocated to Singapore from California. Seen the best of two worlds, Wendy enjoys her new life to the fullest. Yesterday she published in her website the tax table of Singapore, which shows income of less than SGD320,000 p.a. (= USD 246,000; GBP156,000; SFR 236,000) at a tax rate of 17% tops (up to 40,000 the rate is 8.5%).
In response I wrote to her:
LOL... I have known the tax table for years, and wouldn't mind to object myself to such taxation again. Again, because I did enjoy the tax rate in Guernsey of 10 per cent on my income there.
However, to be fair, Singapore operates as an independent city state, while Guernsey is a parasital inbreeding entity within the UK. While Singapore contributes to the economies of neighbouring states, Guernsey is a basket case that costs British taxpayers £190 million a year to sustain.
The cosmopolitan, modern flair of Singapore is in stark contrast to the barren, desolate, delapitated and barren rock called Guernsey. Considering the poverty and desolation that exists on Guernsey, the navel-gazing pride of the inbred islanders is grotesque and bizarre. I always called Guernsey the Alcatraz of Europe.
