Blah Blah
Okay, so I havent blogged in ages, there are a number of reasons for this, which I'm not going to go into, I just havent felt like writing anything.
I wrote this a while ago when i got a cold:
Being sick in London really sucks, for a number of reasons. The first being that living on your own, or in a houseshare you have no one to look after you, or bring you breakfast in bed (the big baby that I am). On top of this, if you haven’t bothered to go through the gruelling task of registering with a NHS doctor (not the most qualified people), you wont be seeing one, as it takes weeks to register, only to be told that there aren’t any available doctors in your area. If you are lucky enough to find one, the chances of living in that area for longer than 6 months are about 50/50, which means you need to go through the task of finding a new doctor in your new area again. The other alternative is if you have hundreds of pounds, you could go to a private doctor, who will probably tell you the same thing as the useless NHS doctor which is that ‘you have a cough, take one of these every morning for 6 months’ by which time you would have already worked out only now you’re left with a much larger bill.
So my conclusion is… don’t get sick in London, and if you really have to, make sure you go through the unpleasant task of finding a NHS doctor, otherwise you’ll be greeted with even more pleasantries found in the government hospital waiting rooms (drunk and drugged up thugs wanting to steal your teeth).

While my parents were here last week, I took them to just about every single tourist attraction in London (there is way too much to do in one entry, so I'll be writing about it over the next few weeks), it was loads of fun and I got to see things that I hadnt seen before. But one of the best things from last week, came from Madame Tausaddes, and it only cost £2, 50. It was a little 'shock pen', the immense amounts of joy that this pen has given me is unexpalainable, some may say it is evil and sadistic to laugh at others misfortunes, but seeing the shock on these peoples faces when they try and put the pen on only to be greeted with a rather strong shock and buzzing sound is hilarious! Ask Chris and Dayne they know all about it. I've been giving it to all my work colleagues today and am just waiting for one of them to either place a complaint against me or drop dead from the shock that would stop a weak heart. Either way it provides hours of laughs for me, ha ha ha.

Hopefully we will be back next year to continue our tour. You were the best tour guide, we got to see so much in such a short time but it was quite difficult trying to keep up with you because your pace has definately increased since you left Cape Town. Cape Town is still very laid back.
