We’re back to regularly schedule programming…

Shawn gets really annoyed when I pronouce things wrong in Britain. Boys and girls, for your first British English lesson, you will grasp that “Leicester” is pronounced LES-ter, as in the name— not Le-SES-ter.

I was disapponted at the outcome of a lot of my pictures in London— this is probably because of the crappy weather. All my London Eye pictures, which where such Kodak-moment material, were pretty much a write-off.

With no further ado, here’s the pics.

Tiff showing that naan no mercy. There was a great Indian restaurant close to our hostel— being the pigs that we are I am, we I had to pig out.

Here’s Tiff Matt on the Hungerford Bridge.

Quick! Pronounce this tube station! The answer is at the end of the entry. I heart the Underground.

What I didn’t enjoy about the tube is the continuous reminders to not leave your bags unattended, and to report suspicious activity. I know the London bombings spark a reason for more vigilance— but these continuous print and voice messages starts to create a sense of paranoia.

This is my favourite picture of my London excursion. I told Tiff to pose like a Cover Girl. Coincidentally, a big red upper-decker whooshes by.

No Tiff’s were hurt during the shoot.

[A picture is supposed to replace this paragrah of text, but because I’m lazy, you’re just going to read this.]

The background is Westminster Abbey— I want to bring your attention that “Westminster” does not have an ‘I’ between ‘N’ and ‘S’— it’s not “minister.” I don’t know how many times Tiff corrected me.

We stopped by the Burberry flagship. Burberry associates are definitely less bitchy than LV.

Tiff and I relaxing at Costa (a UK coffee shop chain) near the Portobello Market— the Kensington Market of London.

A pretty truck and a nice piece of public art near Portobello Market. Something to note: the street is named Blenheim Street. Pronounce “Blenheim.” Answer at the end of the entry.

I have no idea how many pictures of the Tube I have. Here is a Underground Service Update board, which shows the operational status of each of the 12 lines. Delays on the Underground is inevitable. We almost missed our flight home for that reason.

More tube pictures. Could you see why I had to be in this picture?

Ahhh! Me on Abbey Road! Too bad the street was too busy to really emulate what the BeetlesBeatles did.

Me and the Abbey Road Studios. The BeetlesBeatles recorded in there! Woo!

Me and Buckingham Palace. Where’s Prince Harry?

ANSWERS:
Southwark: Suth-uck, the W is silent.
Blenheim: Blen-em, the H is silent.
