We met a former colleague of mine, Catherine for lunch today at a Malaysian restaurant Jom Makan just off Trafalgar Square. Mmmm, very yummy. Then we met friends of Kim at a wine bar before going to a West End show.
It was my very first time at a London show despite my previous visits. We saw Avenue Q which was hilarious! Really my kind of humour … it touched on all sorts of dodgy subjects like racism, porn and schadenfreude. Do you know what schadenfreude is? It is the joy or pleasure of seeing someone else’s misfortune.
You can see some clips from various versions of the show on Youtube.
Moving on to something else you didn’t know about … I read an article in the paper few days ago that the London Underground has warmed up over its life. You know how earth has low heat capacity … it stays cool … that’s why we have cellars. But over the years, the people and the machinery have warmed up subterranean London to the extent that it now needs air-conditioning, and this is progressively being introduced in certain areas.
