So, after a long day in London with Dad, I've chosen a winner for today. It could have been many - some of whom we've had already, and will become apparent as I go on - but also some which haven't.
First up was Moorfields Eye Hospital, which was in with a good shout. Somewhere, as Dad put it, can give the gift of sight back to someone - the ultimate gift. I could see where he was coming from, but if you were in need of a kidney or something? Anyway, I will move on...
Starbucks! Still hasn't got it (to my knowledge - correct me if I'm wrong...), and if SB's couldn't have it, then their cinnamon swirls with the best lemon icing in the world could have got it, or even a caramel macchiato, which is enough to warm you up on a cold day.
Or actually, today, the London weather?! A beautiful day - not a cloud in the sky - led to some great pictrues, and as we left the city, the place was slowly watching the sun sink below its foundations. A brilliant sight.
MJ could have got today - if he hasn't had it already. Mainly because of today's winner. Ladies and gentlemen, today goes to the O2 ARENA.
The picture shows what is known as the O2, with the arena actually being inside there, which is a great idea. All dreamed up to replace a massive white elephant that was the Millenium Dome, it has seen the biggest names in the music industry grace its stage - notably MJ, who never actually did step foot on the stage to perform.
What I didn't realise, however, is that enarly a third of the space in the O2 isn't actually used. It has been put aside for what is known as 'Phase II' - if London had won the super-casino license, it would have been built here, alonside a massive hotel WITHIN the complex. A massive feat for something that was over-budget, over-advertised and over-ambitious when built 10 years ago.
I'll have been here 3 times in 3 weeks come the beginning of March - today, the 27th for Lady Gaga, and the 3rd of March for the British Music Experience. All very exciting.
We came today for the MJ exhibition, which I have to say was truly outstanding. I would have liked to see a bit more of the 'This Is It' tour stuff - but what they did have was actually quite eery - knowing that it was all ready and the whole show was only missing one element was kinda creepy.
Anyway, today goes to the O2 ARENA.
