Greenwich is one of the coolest "uncool" places there is in London. It's not profoundly unfashionable - rather somewhere where it doesn't occur to people that there is anything more than a few museums, a nice park and the Cutty Sark. The really adventurous might know about the Trafalgar Tavern or venture out to Greenwich market on a Sunday afternoon, but essentially, Greenwich is still relatively undiscovered for one of the great regions of London. I adore Greenwich - but I'm not blind to its faults either. In this journal I take an affectionate but honest - at times brutally so - look, giving my own personal low-down on the things to do - and one or two of the things NOT to do in Greenwich. I am being unashamedly parochial here. I will talk about the tourist sites, of course - how could I not when we have a World Heritage Site on our doorstep - but also about the things which make our town great - the little things. Interesting vistas, cool shops, bizarre novelties and quirky one-offs which make this place buzz. Greetings, by the way, to all of you who have travelled with me from Livejournal - and thank you for making the journey.

I've spent the morning calculating that if Lloyd listened to Black Sabbath's 'Iron man' exclusively during the time it took him to finish - he would have heard it about 260 times.
Good use of your morning, SoC - better than me anyway.
But what if - for the sake of variety - he alternated between 'Iron Man' and the 'Iron Giant Soundtrack', running time 52:40?
I wish I had seen him in Greenwich. From these pics, he's looks very wobbly - his Clinton-esque handlers look like they're terrified he's going to fall over. Has he? If he does, can he get back up again?
Impressive calculations indeed.
I absolutely love the soundtrack to the Iron Giant. I even bought it. Funky, edgy stuff, some of it. Did you know "Rocket in my Pocket" was banned when it was first released?
I don't know if he has fallen over yet but they spent a good couple of minutes planning his descent down the ramp opposite the Gipsy Moth. I'm not sure what they'll do if they come across anything steeper.
Anyone know who the 'runner' I saw just approaching Tower Bridge at half five this evening might have been?
Cowboy hat, marigolds, sidling sideways in very slow motion. I assumed it was Lloyd at first, but clearly there are several loons out there.
He was not far off Island Gardens when I passed him at about 6pm this evening (Tues). That puts him well on two years ago when as George & The Dragon he was only there on the Thurs morning after the Marathon.
