The Woodbine Pub

April 27, 2010

The Woodbine Pub, originally uploaded by Wolfgang Haak.
Let me introduce to you: The Woodbine. My local pub is cool enough to warrant an entry on the blog. It’s open late, there’s no carpet, the decoration is fun and eclectic, the crowd is pleasant and good looking, the bar staff attentive, the music genre is mostly [...]

Visit to Highgate Cemetery

April 4, 2010

One of my favourite travel web-sites is the fabulous Atlas Obscura. If it didn’t exist, one would have to invent it. Although I doubt I would be able of such great feat myself.
To make a long story short, it’s simply a fantastic sight to visit, for everyone interested in Landscape design, sculptures, overgrown gardens, romanticism, [...]

London Potholes – Dangerous Cycling

February 23, 2010

Cycling Highways? Boris you should learn how to walk before you can cycle. London’s streets are in a state of disrepair that won’t go away by merely talking about “excellence”, “militant about cycling”and “world class” alone. Get the shovel out and keep the drivel to yourself.
Somehow I don’t think this kind of damage is going [...]

Scary ghost passengers haunt St. Pancras station

January 22, 2010

What can I add to that. It’s early morning, I’m on my way to work. Waiting as most people with “plugs” in my ears, drinking a fresh coffee under the sterile lights deep underground on the cavernous platform, when I noticed that us passengers are not the only ones occupying the seats. There is someone [...]

Urban Clothing Jacket -idea

November 4, 2009

I’ve had an idea for while now for urban clothing. I’m not a very fashionable person and my idea is lesser rotating around looks for urban clothing but more about functionality. I’ve been living in London for a number of years now, and I have seen London’s cool, fun, innovative, funky, Hackney-cool, welcoming, curious and [...]

urban games: boxing

Discipline of the week: Boxing
The Majority of London
Marital Arts are in everyday use in London. Most performances are somewhat ungraceful, as most participants show up intoxicated to the performance. Only some events are recorded on the council’s TV network. “Best of” performances however are given a bigger audience on Crime watch.
Although frowned upon as a [...]

Bees take over bakery van
You may have heart the alarming stories that bees are disappearing around the world. Apparently it’s due to a protein problem, but in London scientists may have to think again:
I spotted some unusual activity on a white van parked at the top of my street (North London), only a few meters [...]

Enter the Urban Games!
The Majority of London
Ha! Olympics I hear you say? 2012? No, us Londoners doesn’t need the IOC to tell us what form of exercise qualifies as a sport and more importantly if we’re any good at it! Decades of bad politics on both national and GLA level (yes Ken Boris, grow up!) [...]

June 2, 2009

On my way home I came across the delightful scene, dozens of parties, couples, individual enjoying the pleasant warmth of a summer evening. Spontaneous BBQs and picnics, the air filled with smoke and smells from grilling one’s dinner, bookworms perched sunward on a tree, folded up Bromtons scattered about, Chamapagne and Wine being served, one [...]
