Horizon 22

Posted on March 6, 2024March 6, 2024

I went to London and all I got was this lousy best city on the face of the planet

We visited Horizon 22 for the first time today and it was a lovely experience. It’s currently London‘s highest viewing platform and is completely free. The only snag is its booked up for months ahead (they do allow walk-ins on the day, but it’s determined by how busy the platform is so you may not get in). I booked our slot before Christmas and took a gamble that the weather would be okay. The day started very overcast, but luckily (mostly) cleared up by the time we got to the 58th floor. On a sunny day at the height of summer the view must be incredible, but I quite liked how part of the city today was a little foggy.

A tourist asked me to take his photo, “It’s so my wife knows I’m here and not shacked up with some beautiful floozy,” he explained. “Ah, but the beautiful floozy could be the one taking the photo…”, I said as I handed his phone back. “She’s not that smart…” was the reply.

Bonus points for any day where I get to use the word ‘floozy’.

I’ve been checking out my old, now very much offline, website – hand coded in html until Blogger came along and changed everything – to see if any of it is worth archiving properly.

My contact details included a map to our house. Back in 2000 it felt like only 56 people were dialled-in at any one time and every single complete stranger I met online was a delight so this didn’t feel weird or unsafe at all. Not long after we took a three month trip around the world crashing with people we’d never met in real life via a punk rock message board and they’re (mostly) still firm friends now.

We never had anyone roll up unexpectedly*, but did get a lot of calls from Americans at 3am asking me questions about AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON.

Jess was overjoyed.

*although one day I got chatting to a random Australian in the bookstore I worked in and invited him home to watch a movie. He stayed with us for about six months…

DEAREST ELIZABETH, I HAVE EXTERMINATED DARCY…

Something for the weekend

Watching Korean TV with the comments on is something else.

The show is The Veil (검은 태양) and the actor sending the audience into spasms is Namkoong Min (남궁민) mostly due to a topless gym workout montage.

If you like brooding guys who shoot people in the face then this is the show for you.

I haven’t watched a Finnish crime drama in a while and it’s hard to resist something called REINDEER MAFIA with this logo:

Plus I’ll watch anything with Mikael Persbrandt in it.
