There I was,waiting half awake in St Pancras watching the people doing their stuff, A single pidgeon bravely strolled up to me and looked deeply in to my eye's (and I back into his), what I saw was a bird with problem's, a bird who worked/shat on people all the hour's god sent to support his wife and nest of 17 pidgeon children, so being as my newly purchased french stick was looking less appealling by the minute I tossed him a little sample to try. Well you should have seen those little eye's light up! Of course now he'd worked out where breakfast,Lunch and three course dINNER were coming from and there was no chance of him leaving me be. Well, like I say he was very grateful of the meal and hopped up on the bench next to me to have a chat,it went a bit like this..... Feathered friend = "so me ol' cocker, where you from? 'cos you obviously ain't a Landaner" James = "yes that's right, Im just visiting London this weekend Im from Leicester ,I've had rather good time really" Feathered friend = "well let me give you some advice, if you're looking for a good night out then you ought to pop in The Betsy Trotwood. I could'nt believe what I'd heard, word's from a bird. WOW. If anyone should know London I suppose it would be a pidgeon. But yes it's true Betsey Trotwood was absolutely fantastic Don't really know what to say,other than it was so good to put some name's to face's, Oh and I'd better warn people about some beer's with funny name's "Waggledance" and "Orangeyboom" for instance. cos I was sick as a dog and it had me sitting around like a zombie for an hour or so. I so felt better toward's the last hour or so with an excellent soundtrack of Electrelane,Mint Royal,Belle and Sebastian(oh really)and lot's of people I can't think the name's of right now. The atmoshere in the place when "Boy with the..." came on was just lovely. A very big thanQ to Ben. who sorted out the part of my trip I'd not paid much attention to.... ....Somewhere to stay. Ben's house is now rated at NUMBER ONE IN MY LIST OF SINISTER CRASH OUT SPOT'S. Beating Chris Jones's blow up matteress by a point or so, but only due to the luxury of a double bed. Although Ben would certainly have ran away with the title had he taken a leaf from Chris's book, by serving me a RIBENA and crisp's breakfast. Looking forward to Friday's going's-on, if they still are. and as always..... ....If you've read this FAR then you're an absolute STAR.
