WTF !?!?!?!

Just watching some international news about this and its ridiculous! (much like my spelling)

they are referring to my home city as "Fortress London" ?!?!?!

Jamie Oliver has now become a "National Food Hero" ?!?!

Only bit that did make me chuckle was that apparently Barak Obama has been told that he will meet the Queen for Tea hehe good on ya Ma'am, keep them colonials in check!

Yep instead of sitting here in the heat with my hangover. I could indeed be in London, that would be grim.

I am interviewing him tomorrow night hehe

I realy am getting fed up with them calling it "Fortress London" though ... sounds daft ... and WTF the security operation is called "Operation Glencoe" ... wasn't that the scene of a massacre?!

Been a controlled explosion outside of the Bank of England this morning already.
They seem a little sensitive in the fortress.

Right then need to stop feeling sorry for myself and drag myself over to Suntec.
Not sure my liver or wallet could cope with living here. Yet to see that many down sides though.

I don't fully comprehend why they call it a fortress when certainly the enemy is within, i.e. the pollytishuns, etc!

Then again, when have the media concerned themselves with accuracy in any case!


Oi digger?! Another cold one over here mate! biggrin
