The Evening Standard had an article tonight on President Bush’s up coming visit to London.
Apart from the amazing entourage he’s bringing, 250 secret service guys, 400+ advisers and aides, two personal 747’s and a third plane, a couple of helicopters and two identical motorcades of 20 armoured vehicles, the thing that strikes me is [...]

David Blaine comes out of hibernation tomorrow looking not too bad for 44 days of just water, makes me wonder why I’m spending hundreds of pounds at the supermarket each month.
Now he can clean up with tv and paper interviews, expect wall to wall Blaine this week.

A warning to anyone splashing out on a dinner in top London restaurant.
Don’t take the waiter’s recommendations at face value, he might know his wines but not your bank balance.

He’s 37 years old and a fine arts graduate, and this is the best he can come up with? Damn right make him pay back the cost of his degree, it’s obviously [...]

Ever been clamped and thought ‘I’ll get this bastard clamp off myself’. Well now you don’t need to, Angle Grinder Man is out there in the shadows waiting to help.

As a way of getting yourself a load of publicity, sitting in a perspex box and doing nothing for 44 days seems an inspired move.
David Blaine doesn’t look like he’s won over the crowd yet, but switch on the tv and radio or pick up a newspaper and he’s getting plenty of comment.

The magician David Blaine has started his 44 days of going without food, while living in a perspex box suspended from a crane over the River Thames, near Tower Bridge.
