| On a cold snowy day, a flame was paraded through London. Some very British pomp and ceremony was laid on - but then the actions of a few over zealous people, taking a very valid demonstration too far caused a large crowd at St Paul's to be left a little confused as the flame bypassed them unannounced in a bus! |

| Even London's CCTV was keeping an eye on the Tibetan flags. |

| On cold crisp morning, a outing to London Irish's home they share with Reading was rewarded with a pleasant afternoon watching what turned out to be a very competitive Sunday Rugby match. Given the host team and the sponsor of the league, a black theme to the ground was inevitable! |  |
 | Madejski Stadium is an impressive stadium, some how more compact that I expected for the home of a Premiership Football team - but even half full for a Sunday afternoon Rugby match there was a good atmosphere - although the generous hospitality from Sun probably contributed to that! |

A full house at Twickenham for the first match of a Six nation championship, and a hopeful Saint George flag leaving the pitch. World Cup finalists, England, took the lead at half time by a health 16-6. But the England team, who had improved so much during the World Cup, failed to show up for the second half, and a resurgent Wales dominated the second half to run out a deserved 19-26.
For you amusement - can you spot the ball as Wales hammer the nail in the English coffin? |
Suggs and others rotated in the middle of the O2 - a great way for everyone to get a good view. Even from the vertigo inducing 4th tier - where, once you stand up and up the chair up, there is room to grove the night away.
