Englanding #16 : Extra Brighton & London Content

Well, it turns out that I have a bunch of good snaps from Brighton and London and it would be positively criminal of me not to share them with your good selves. Thus, the Brighton pier that you can't go on:


God, people must love taking pictures of that thing. I kind of want to write an action movie in while the final punch up takes place on it. Awesome. As well as a burnt-out pier, while in Brighton you may also come across the gentleman with whom I'm drinking here, Robert:


He is a scoundrel and a cad and please treat him as such. We saw Fantastic Mr. Fox, which is very good but I have no idea who it's pitched at. It's essentially an animated film in very much the same vein as Wes Anderson's other movies but made a little simpler and with no swearing... y'know, for the kids. Then again, I don't really care who it's aimed at, I really enjoyed it.

Here's where the spies live in London:


Place on the left that is. And here's my touristy tube snap:


Trains that go under the ground?! Sapristi! There could be a whole civilization down there!

Englanding #13 : Brighton - Hip Cats Love Halloween

I've always felt that Halloween in England isn't as big as it should be. We've got Guy Fawkes night straight after, so people can't really focus on the ghoulishness as much as they, clearly, should. Still, festivals based on terrorism are pretty cool too.

However the good people of Brighton were doing their best to prove me wrong! I saw so many people in costume over Halloween weekend, there was a zombie walk going on, and this was the queue outside a costume shop on Saturday afternoon:


They had someone working the door! And then a few streets away another costume shop:


One in one out! God bless you people of Brighton! A lot of you are really fucking annoying, but at least you've got your heads right about Halloween.
