Here I am, in the Great Metropole, being ripped off like nobody’s business for internet access (I am so getting an iPhone), jet-lagged out of my tiny little mind, and it’s all to do with a rather interesting project that you’ve probably never even heard of.
In addition to the rogue (curse my clean-shaven chin) Fiction Lab I’ll be meeting Henry for lunch.
Pray for my immortal soul.
And I’m sure you’ll be just scrumptious, darling. With fava beans and a nice Chianti.
Great Cthulhu meets Hannibal Lecter.
Doomed.
Cthulhu, eh? Can’t wait to get to grips with your tentacles – yes, that’s what I said, tentacles. Perhaps with garlic sauce.
Oo, Langham Street. I have a tip for an interesting bar round there. Head to the St George’s Hotel (the opressive concrete slab at the western end of Riding House Street). Take the elevator up to the Heights bar and restaurant. You get a gorgeous view of London in a little-known bar. Best of all, it’s right next to the BBC, so you can observe the drinking habits of minor news readers.
I once saw former Dr Who Tom Baker in there. He looked confused when someone called ‘Time’ at the bar.
I love Faculty of 1000. I think it’s a brilliant site, both in principle and in execution, and horrifically useful. Good luck good luck good luck with whatever involvement with Faculty 1000 is ahead for you!
Aha, Faculty of 1000 – I failed to follow the link. I guess that means you’ve been in Middlesex House. My first job was in that building, around 10 years ago. Good luck with it.
Good luck, Richard! I’ve spent a few years in that building too.
Incestuous lot, aintcha?
I survived lunch with the Gee, but only by getting him thoroughly pissed. I’ll write about my new direction when I’m more coherent.
Excushe me Madam, but does this eight-foot White rabbit go to the shtashun?
Yore my beshy friend, you are.
I luv you
Xxxxxx
Here is Richard this lunchtime, before I ate him.
I have a photo of the Gee and will display it unless you pay me money.
Do your worst.
Do you do anything other than a) blog posting, b) traveling to and from Londres, and c) drinking beer?
Also, just because I feel like it: Lego Cthulhu.
P.S. Nice hat.
Richard—no. And thanks.
