Victoria & Albert Museum - the giant cupboard of the British Empire


Victoria & Albert Museum - this is where the revolution in industrial design started. Artefacts and materials from all over the world were gathered here so that young Englishmen (and later English women) could see and learn world's best in shape, colour and composition.

But for me the V&A is more like the giant cupboard of the British Empire. Extremely ornate on the outside and inside it so overabundant, it tires me out quickly.

Hundred-Grand-A-Minute Dribble


London Eye fireworks 2009: 1.6 million quid in 15 minutes. If this was a sneak preview of what Boris Johnson is preparing for the Olympics 2012, I would prefer to watch him ejaculate on a giant screen at Wembley instead!
