Why would I want to be anywhere else?

So I finally heard that Lily Allen song 'LDN' last night, and it's perfect, isn't it? That's exactly how I feel today - even the imperfections (the kids on the next computer foremost among them) are still somehow part of London's rich pattern. Or Life's - the two are pretty much synonyms, after all.

I may well have heard that too - I think I was played about an album's worth of stuff, but we talked more over the others, so I couldn't really say either way.

She's playing Bush Hall at some point. Just in case you were interested like.

Cor! I knew she had a Notting Hill Arts Club residency, but I hate that place. Bush Hall, otoh, is heavenly.

Oh, and I remembered the other thing I meant to say to you on the way home! It was that the new series of Family Guy is just as brilliant as the previous, and Stewie is still a complete genius.

Which reminds me, I've still not watched your DVD of his film yet, sorry!

It is fucking cracking, isn't it? I'm going to listen to it now, than take a walk in Battersea Park for lunch.

Top plan, that fellow! Alas, I don't own it yet myself, but just knowing it exists, that it justified the hype, and being able to half-hum it will do me for now.

And she's playing the Big Chill, too.

As in the festival or the bar? Chances of me ever visiting the former = roughly equivalent to chances of my joining al Qaeda. Chances of me visiting the latter are low, but at least extant.

You might need to get hold of an Al Qaeda membership form, then.

Not impossible she'll turn up at the bar, though.

I love the song, sure - but there has never been any musical act I have loved enough to attend a festival for them, and certainly not that festival!

Though I am fascinated by the idea of such a form. I bet they just nick US Immigration's, except here for 'is the purpose of your journey the overthrow of the government or constitution of the United States' you're supposed to tick 'yes'.
