Something else I learned today is exactly what the establishment called Pleasuredrome is. It is tucked away under an arch beneath Waterloo East station and is just a glass door with no clue as to what it is, beyond having a slightly suggestive name.

I stumbled across a couple of bits of trivia today: The typeface used on British road signs is called Transport and its a year younger than me.

I may have mentioned before a novel called The Planets by James Finney Boylan. It is brilliant, weird and funny. It is set in the town of Centralia, Pennsylvania which is a real place but is one of the strangest aspects of the book. Anyway, I lent this book to someone at work who then […]

The artist Piet Modrian did not use the colour green in his paintings. He would not even allow the colour green in his house. The artist Thomas Schütt is well enough known to have a whole room full of his stuff at the Tate Modern, yet he is too obscure to get even a passing […]

Two things: 1. There is an ‘Official Encyclopedia of the Cornish Pasty’ But this story does not say whether there are any unofficial ones. 2. Hong Kong island is now half as close to Kowloon as it used to be. A result of all the land reclamation for building, as featured in this morning’s paper. […]
