I don't really like either. Boris or Ken. But that Paddock dude has no chance, so I'm not wasting my vote on him. You gots to play the game.

Re: It's a LONDON ting...
What's this rubbish about Boris being ahead?
Which one of you didn't vote?

I know. Depressing ain't it? 
Actually the elections overall have been depressing for the future. There seems to be a real case of "the tide is turning". I mean, granted, Labour have been a right bunch of muppets, but has everyone forgotten what it's like to live under a Conservative government? I think so.

Lol, cute.
So anyways, London crew, some of you might have already seen my I had dinner with Paris Hilton thread... yeh pretty heavy i know.
but yeah it's kinda suprising she was just having her munch and ting with her next man, that brer from that Yankee band Good Charlotte. No paparazzi, nuttin. I thought there would be bare security everywhere but there was jack. I reckon London must be easier for celebs, cos everyone aint running up to them every two seconds. Also, it was in maroush in edgware road, and every next person is arab or asian, so half of them wont even know who they are.
anyway, if any of youse lot seen any celebs round london, spill innit.

Re: It's a LONDON ting...
MY goodness! You know I found this thread on PAGE 5 of the Culture and Society forum? How do we let it slip that far?
Anyway, I just wanted to say that as much as I complain about anything and everything that is London, I still LOVE it DEARLY! 
Only when you venture far away from it do you realise just how awesome it really is. I was in BIRMINGHAM last week, after spending a couple of hours watching the F1 testing at Silverstone [which btw, was awesome  ...Hamilton FTW!!!] and I just have to say, wth? They had pictures of Mosque-looking things on their bins, the people talked funny, it smelt like Pakistan and the roads were WAY too narrow and people didn't seem to have heard of the concept of 'dipping in'.
London ZINDABAD!!!
