Top 10 Things To Do In London (if you're me)

1. See Catherine Tate & Nicola Walker (and various other well-knowns) in Seasons Greetings at the National Theatre.

2. Hang around the stage door to bother Catherine Tate & Nicola Walker as the opportunity seemed too good to pass up.

3. Go to Dudley's Pancake House in Barnet; rebel by eating a burger instead.

4. Forget you're allergic to bananas and chow down a fresh banana milkshake (meep)

5. Meet up with very very old friends in The Old Mitre Inn

6. Covert Operations

7. StumbleUpon a great number of exciting things using StumbleUpon

8. Watch Noises Off, My Summer of Love, Blow and Blade Runner on the coach journey to and from (Blade Runner really is a terrible movie, especially compared to the book. Noises Off was a very odd film recommendation but I thoroughly enjoyed it. My Summer of Love was top coz Emily Blunt is GORGEOUS. Blow was solidly good.)

9. See the parents. Watch Waking the Dead with them.

10. Buy an Oyster Card in Birmingham and shout at the 'Computer Says No' type who tries to charge you £18 for the damn thing. It was OK, it was prepaid, but she didn't half give me a fright.
