This image of Obama hit the streets (and the world media stage) yesterday in America. It is causing quite a stir as it attempts to label Obama as a Socialist leader - to be perfectly honest, i would be honoured to be represented as the coolest character to hit the cinema ever, well at least since Special Agent Cooper from the Twin Peaks episodes.....God save the dream.

Often you see 'Arsenal licks my balls' or 'Fuck Sir Alex' written in the dust on the other side of the tube line. This is considered to be a very serious offense as your life is definitely at risk once you leave the safety of the platform. Obviously you have to be intoxxxicated to even consider doing such a thing but as that is something that they encouraged here in £ondon it makes perfect sense that these acts of life threatening 'vandalism' take place on a regular basis......

New ad approach by Pepsi at South Kensington Station - turning traditional methods on their head. Reminds me of Woodstock.

So far this is the best public sculpture / statue I have seen in London, an ode to the dream of staying young forever.
Its basically a 3.2m tall solid bronze sculpture of Pan standing on a base infested with cool characters. There are rabbits, mice, lesbian girls and even a fairy looking up his night-gown - Young Pan forever mackin

The Royal Albert Hall is an arts venue in the City of Westminster. It is best known for holding the annual summer Proms concerts since 1941. It is one of £ondon's most treasured and distinctive buildings, recognisable the world over. Since its opening by Queen Victoria in 1871, the world's leading artists from every kind of performance genre have appeared on its stage. Each year it hosts more than 350 performances including classical concerts, rock and pop, ballet and opera, tennis, award ceremonies, school and community events, charity performances and lavish banquets.
The Hall was originally supposed to have been called The Central Hall of Arts and Sciences, but the name was changed by Queen Victoria to Royal Albert Hall of Arts and Sciences when laying the foundation stone as a dedication to her deceased husband and consort Prince Albert. It forms the practical part of a national memorial to the Prince Consort - the decorative part is the Albert Memorial directly opposite in Kensington Gardens, now separated from the Hall by the heavy traffic along Kensington Gore.
When the main feature of the Albert Memorial was stolen in 1989 the Queen was horrified. This was an absolute embarrassment to the monarque and needed to be corrected quickly. There was no way to deny to the public that their top security had failed and vandals had not only tarnished the legacy of the Prince but had also made off with almost 300kg of nine carat gold.
A few days after the robbery the Queen received a letter from a man named Henry George Chapminn. Henry was a street performer from Brighton, in his mid 40's, very fit and extremely serious about his work. Henry proposed that he would replace the stolen statue of Prince Albert himself by performing daily routines as a living statue. The Queen thought it admirable for a man to offer up his time to fill in while the new piece was being constructed and allowed him the opportunity to do so. By the time the new golden statue of the Prince was complete, and Henry had stood daily for almost 6 weeks, the Queen decided that seeing a man, so dedicated to his country that he was willing to stand still for hours on end, was a far stronger symbol of royalty than the original hunk of gold - so Henry stayed. Earlier this year Henry, at the age of 66, was knighted by her Majesty for outstanding services to the Country and is now known to all as Sir Henry George Chapminn, the first man to be knighted by the Queen and still hold a 9-5 job in the history of England.
Check out the pics below of Sir Henry on Saturday Afternoon, still looking amazing in his latexxx costume at the age of 66.

Often along the Southbank you see kids practicing Parkour, the art of getting around. I'm sure you've seen it on TV or in Nikes ads - guys hopping over ledges and dismounting from high walls etc - During their practice session on Saturday afternoon, on the beach of the Southbank, this guy rocked up for a few minutes, did 2 tricks and left - leaving them and everyone else watching amazed.
7m backflip off the top railing of the Southbank onto the beach sand below - you think he smokes cigarettes?

Desperation comes in many forms and false hope is ultimately a dream crusher - but at least it's entertaining to watch....This is my favourite section of The London Paper, a free daily newspaper distributed at every tube station across central London, It's basically a slice of television printed on paper, just to keep you satisfied for the length of your tube ride until you get home and can lay your eyes on the real thing...
But more on the 'free' newspapers coming soon....
