Some things you just don’t expect

One of the strangest sights I’ve seen this year.  Wandering through Soho Square on my way up to Euston Station I came across a stand for Oxygen, a product of some sort from Nivea.  As I approached I could hear the distinct sound of drums and tamberines.  What a strange sound I thought to myself coming from something so contrived.  I could see one of the men manning it leaning over a counter staring out into space.  At this point I spotted the Hari-Krishna’s and realise the stand had been overrun.   No wonder those manning the stand were trying to make themselve invisible.

A marketeer’s worst nightmare.  Again typically at these occasions the batteries in my camera were flat as it would have made a brillant photo opportunity.  I doubt I’ll ever see the same thing again.

“Random Encounters” in a Small World

Had a very strange evening last night going out for my friends Shell’s birthday. I ended up bumping into three groups of people that I hadn’t seen since the same day last year.

All of this took place in Southamptons retro 80’s nightclub, Reflex. First off was my friend Shell’s ex-boyfriend Steve who we spotted wandering round the club who I had last seen at the Beggar’s Fair up in Romsey last July. Next I spotted Barry and Alan from the Romsey Sub-Aqua Club who again I had last seen at the Beggar’s Fair last year. Then wandering around my friend Kirsty says hello to me. Again I had seen her last on the same day last year this time at her house warming party which is a slight change.

I’m increasingly feeling that I’m living in a small world where there aren’t enough original extras to go round. My loger Amanda works with Shell’s mum so there’s no escape there. Carl who I work with goes to Glasgow for a weekend and bumps into Chris McCormick who I used to work with at Esso.
