clippersnapper: Ahoy! Bar On Board!

Ahoy! Bar On Board!

I just can't get over how great it is to get a boat to work and back every day. Work has now just become an excuse to go on the boat.

The boat journey also gives you time to reflect on things. This is aided by the presence of a fully licensed bar onboard. I had a glass of wine on the way home last night and decided that the purpose of life was four-fold: Firstly, to ensure the survival of the species. Secondly to ensure the survival of one's progeny. Thirdly to ensure survival of oneself. Finally to extract pleasure from life wherever possible.

I texted this profound thought to my mate Andy. He texted back saying if I reversed the order he was up for it.

Ramp Parts

The conversion of Tower Bridge into a massive two way ramp was the brainchild of Esther Porkdrink. The Porkdrinks of Portabello got their unusual name from the beverage that both made and lost the fortune of the family in the early 1600s. An early porcine alternative to rival Bovril; the drink proved very popular with city dwellers and travellers alike. The great fortune amassed through the selling of the hot porky beverage was suddenly lost in a spate of court cases in the late 1700s when it was discovered that the main ingredient wasn't pork at all - but rather the disgarded limbs of amputees.

The Queen Mary

The Queen Mary has been preparing for her maiden voyage for over 76 years. It's Captain, Cpt. Perseverance Brimshaw, is widely renouned as the most cautious seafarer of the last Century. Not actually ever having set off. Brimshaw oh Brimshaw, Perseverance Brimshaw, never there was such a cautious soul on the oceans seven. Never did he leave the shore, not once, not thrice, not ever! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bullingdon HQ

The former site of the mayoral office and now home to Boris Johnson, President of the Bullingdon Dining Club. The club, some 150 years old, is exclusively for males of extremely privileged backgrounds. The aim of the club is to book restaurants under false names, vomit in them, smash them up and then throw bundles of money at the owners is a show of utter derision. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Celeb Block H

The Home For Forgotten Stars was founded in the early 1970's by Child Performer and, later, Agent to the stars Ronnie Regale. Ronnie was a regular on the magic/canary circuit with some brief appearances on New Faces and other early televised talent shows in the late 50's and Early 60's. He later went on to become an Agent representing many talented child proteges. It was his shock at the destitution that most child celebs fell into once they were too old to get the gigs anymore, that lead Ronnie to establish this great riverside institution.

Have A Good Look

Major General Sir Henry Havelock cut his military teeth in the First Afghan war of 1839. An unmitigated disaster for the British Army; military intervention in Afghan was conducted as to secure the Empire's commercial interests in the region and instigated under a set of false pretences that fooled no one at the time. Sound familiar? Line Whitehall with massive brass statues of this Glorious Land's most famous serial killers and fraudsters! Let's construct a monument to celebrate our involvement in the slave trade!

It's behinde you...
