London Lines: August 2005
http://londonlines.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
Chat from the capital, signals from the big smoke and myths from the metropolis. Sunday, August 28, 2005. See what I did there? No-one ever says they dislike Carnival. It's held up on a pedestal as Europe's largest street party, as an example of London's diversity, as a good time. Well the costumes are impressive but everything else seems a bit half hearted. Most of the floats are either plain trucks with sound systems or overly corporate vehicles. A great Caribbean festival but let's not steal Festival'...

London Lines: June 2005
http://londonlines.blogspot.com/2005_06_01_archive.html
Chat from the capital, signals from the big smoke and myths from the metropolis. Wednesday, June 29, 2005. The novelty of hearing the thunder outside followed by the thunder on the TV from the Wimbledon Championships still hasn't worn off. Last weekend when the Heathrow flight paths switched to Wandsworth you could tell whether we were on the landing approach or take-off route by whether you heard the plane on the TV or outside first: was take-off on this occasion!

London Lines: November 2005

Chat from the capital, signals from the big smoke and myths from the metropolis. Monday, November 14, 2005. A few weeks ago I stumbled across the London Wetland Centre. Near Barnes; I say stumbled. I was on one of those exploratory walks which just happened to take me further than I'd intended when I set out several hours earlier. Posted by Paul Campy at 19:37. Tuesday, November 08, 2005. Political graffiti is fairly rare though: ironic since graffiti's main role throughout the world has been for freedom...

Chat from the capital, signals from the big smoke and myths from the metropolis. Wednesday, July 27, 2005. 7 years and counting. Posted by Paul Campy at 11:52. Friday, July 22, 2005. A cursory glance at most news websites and almost every picture seems to feature luminous yellow police jackets. If one eyewitness is to be believed. Posted by Paul Campy at 18:30. Thursday, July 21, 2005. Well that just says it all, doesn't it brother. Posted by Paul Campy at 14:25. Monday, July 18, 2005. Despite London bei...

London Lines: December 2005
http://londonlines.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Chat from the capital, signals from the big smoke and myths from the metropolis. Sunday, December 18, 2005. Anti Social Behaviour Odours. One of the few things that's bugged me about Wimbledon over the last couple of years is the mess of kids and bus stops littering the entrance to the Centre Court shopping centre. And the railway station. There's not enough space to get past and it's a focal point for trouble. or at least it was. The next morning. is that the drains? Posted by Paul Campy at 22:34. They ...

London Lines: May 2005
http://londonlines.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html
Chat from the capital, signals from the big smoke and myths from the metropolis. Wednesday, May 25, 2005. Amongst the otherwise conquering conurbation there are still pockets of residential resistance in what can only be described as 'villages'. Visiting Highgate last night revealed art galleries, chocolatiers and second hand bookshops rather than the usual high street chains and kebab shops. although I notice that not even Highgate Hill has escaped the onslaught of the Tesco Metro war machine. This week...

London Lines: October 2005
http://londonlines.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Chat from the capital, signals from the big smoke and myths from the metropolis. Friday, October 28, 2005. A very British Olympics. Sadly it looks as though The Lost Decade season. Is coming to an end on BBC 4 however there are still some clips on the website and some of the most fascinating relate to a programme I was lucky enough to catch called 'A very British Olympics'. Fascinating stuff, true blitz spirit. If that's what London was able to do in 1948 then 2012 should rock. Tuesday, October 18, 2005.
