And if the art looks familiar, it's because it's by [livejournal.com profile] ginasketch, and I get to be the atheist in hell. Sounds about right...

Oh yeah, Les Mis was great, although agree with [livejournal.com profile] jantshira, some of the cast weren't quite up to their role, although the lead male was very good. Also spent much more time wandering London and chatting, I may get to a point where I can walk from A to B in the centre without having to look at a map or go via a pointless diversion to one of the squares I know soon.

Today, went into Waterloo to meet with [livejournal.com profile] nadriel and [livejournal.com profile] the_emster for a drink in, I think, the Duke of Sussex, very close to the Old Vic and the IWM. Nice place actually, worth a walk out to if stuck in Waterloo for longer than desired.

Right, everyone knows I left Torbay because, well, it's a bit boring, right? Well, thanks to [livejournal.com profile] eldar linking to this, I now know that it's been proven, Torbay and Paignton are the top two quietest towns in England! OK, the study was on decibel levels, not things to do, but the point is sound:
Quietest
1 Torquay - 60.2 decibels
2 Paignton - 65.7 decibels
Actually, [livejournal.com profile] eldar is another example of how I like LJ. I hadn't heard from him since we both left school, although our parents are in touch. Then his wife commented on something I said in [livejournal.com profile] brits_americans, very weird. One of about 5 people from school I actually liked...

Anyway, some more links. Best explanation of how cricket works, ever:
By Googling a Six: If the ball, after being hit, rolls along the ground uninterrupted for fifty yards (a google), the team receives six points. (Named after Reg Google, Australian wicket-keeper who was so short that he was incapable of lifting the bat.)
And then, via [livejournal.com profile] theweaselking, Fundies say the darndest things! - Top 100 Quotes. No specific quotage for that one, um, there's far too many to chose from. Scary, innit?
