Earlier this year while visiting my best friend. We popped into Midtown Comics just off Times Square. Whilst there Mart & I came across an authentic pair of Light Sabres. Naturally this is like honey to a bear. Chaos ensues. Note the expression on the comic dudes face.

Vauxhall Beach, London, originally uploaded by Craig Grobler.

Yesterday, we popped into central London. It was packed not only with all the early international tourists but the locals seem to be streaming in as well. There is a stark contrast between the bustle of the city centre and the calm of river.

I promised some people that I would post a pic of my local beach. Here it is Vauxhall beach as frequented by (I'm guessing) German or Scandinavian tourist.

Wow!! I have just discovered Gnarls Barkley. I was a little surprised because The BBC, yes, The BBC have their track Crazy notched as "the hottest song of 2006".

These guys rock. A sublime blend of soulful harmonies over trip beats .
