Picadilly Soho London, Photoreportage

One does not find always what one looks for, but something else pops up. So what? Enjoy! Be happy with it.

I went to perform in Soho, near the Picadily Circus and did a set of ten minutes. Not many but great audience and wonderful co-performers.

I had a great evening.

Going out, lot of noise, cheering, movement on the Picadilly Circus.

First, I got into the entrance of a museum where manaquin musicians performed in relative calm.

Did Italy won a match? Flages, waiving, climbing on the statue even.But that was too far. I decided, not to go nearer.
Tam tam also playing near the underground station, people taking photos of everything.

After I realised I do not want to go nearer the crowd I begun to take pictures of the photographers.


Decisive moment!

I I went home and only this morning, looking at my pictures did I realize, I did caught a young short skirted woman puting her hand in another woman's bag!

I did always imagine pickpockets young boys, never like this! Till now. Not only one can learn at any age, but one never know how one thing can lead to another.

Supporting act at Lions Den

Tonight, a new important corn stone in my life, well, comedian's life.

At Lions Den, I was invited by Tim, as supporting act at the Edinburgh preview if Nick Holm.

Ten minutes. I added some new material, that come to me listening to his 15 reasons in YouTube and some from my first ever gig, plus a part came remembering when I was first 'remaqued' at Lion's Den.

Well, about all that more tomorrow.

Slideshow of London Toastmaster Officers

Last officer meeting of London B as it was, first officer meeting of the newly formed three divisions - just a few pictures at the end to remember it. From those, who where there yesterday, at the Tube Talker Toastmasters place, High Halborn. I did go easy, I did come back less: the bus never came, I had to take two others and a train and another bus, but finally, of course, I did arrive home. With all this images in my camera. Even me in two of them, taken by a collegue from another division.

London Underground Humour

I love the English Humour, and how they tell us not cycle instead of using public transport in the weeks to come.

Old, perhaps even a bit ugly woman, not a young slender one as one would show in Paris.

This is just a part of the whole that tells the rest of the tale. I adored also its colours.

What a wonderful way to say... something not very good news, in advance!

Come to Cork!

I am going in November to Cork, to the D71conference. This is the great team preparing it. It will be a funny and also interesting Humorous and Table Topics, impropru contest, and also a conference for all of us from Britain and Ireland to meet.

Design, Develop, Deliver.

Not only with buildings.

The same applies to a story, a speech, a comedy routine.

Tonight, my last opening as President of Lewisham Club. I did deliver, a healthy club is there, after a year. A last speech to deliver, then on to new endaveors.

Design a new Area Vision, Goals. Deliver.

In fact, I already begun, still, leaving in some way the club, even in very good hands, even if I will remain as member, makes me a bit sappy.

Well, I found my story for tonight.
