My Friend Helen

<<< Previous Entry: Ask Me A Question! | This Month's entries | Next Entry: Kinder Egg Suprise >>

The most exciting thing about my last trip to London was not the Apple Store (though that was exciting), nor was it seeing college friends at Wimbledon (though that was also exciting), what was most exciting was seeing my dear friend Helen. Helen has been previously mentioned a thousand times on this website, but if you have never spent all day at work reading the archives of this site then all you need to know about her is this; she is a legend. And not just any legend, a proper high quality bona-fide LEGEND. Most legends are only legends through thousands of years of exaggeration and hyperbole. So Ulysses accidentally pokes his mate in the eye with a chop-stick and then can't find any cotton wool to make a bandage and two thousand odd years later he's rescuing his crew by stabbing a Cyclops in the eye and escaping his grasp by hanging onto a bunch of sheep. Helen on the other hand has her address book in code because she's afraid people will nick it and go and ring up Jamie Oliver while slightly drunk. Her sister used to go out with a guy off home and away. In her own words Gordon Ramsey is "such a nice guy". That's right people, Gordon Ramsey is "SUCH A NICE GUY". This is coming from a person who is so rock and roll she turned down a job offer from Noel Gallagher. Turned it down to his face! If she was 20ft high and breathed fire she still couldn't be any more of a legend then she already is. AND SHE'S MY FRIEND.

In other London news:

  • When I arrived at Oxford Circus I was listening to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band by The Beatles. I'd like to think I'm above caring about what people think about the music I listen too but listening to The Beatles in Oxford Circus made me feel like a terribly terribly clichéd person.
  • I debated hanging around All Soul's Langham Place to see if I could catch a glimpse of John Stott. We need a term for the theologically geeky so that people can apply it to me.

On the 'neanderthal man' liking rap link, I thought the fellow in the foto struck a striking resemblance to hillarious comedian Bill Bailey.

Which was nice.

Thank you, thank you Senor Sparticus! I appreciate the support but there is no such legendariness going on, just fortunate in many ways. Was so nice to see you, let it not be so long next time!
All my love
