Addendum
(to : Revelations (I)
Friday, May 28, 2004)
Things I forgot to mention :
1) ...This. Who'da thunk, eh? A dumpster on the waterways, for all the residents who live off their yachts to, well, dump into.
2) ...that Big Ben is perfectly in sync with my wristwatch, to the second. preen.
3) ...that the three big green tower-thingies immediately adjacent to MI5, with the parallel cranes perched on top o' em aren't after all large office / industrial docks but the up and coming "St George Wharf special collection" of apartments. For very rich people.
oops, this just in. It's MI6 (that's SIX) not MI5 that's sitting pretty on the Thames. Yep, they got it wrong in the movie.
(One digit can make all the difference between one intelligence agency and the next...)
4) ...that there's a ?tapas bar across the road from MI5/6, permanently filled with people so overtly ordinary and civillian, that they can't possibly be anything other than plainclothes Agents. I guess it's much like pubs across the road from hospitals. hic.
5) ...that Vauxhall is the home to The Big Issue HQ. Heck, I hadn't even realised they had a HQ till then. (Imagines all them scruffy blokes with their handsome dogs in one hand and smelly sleeping bags in the other standing stiffly to attention in formation at the crack of dawn, as bugle blows, being inspected by Regimental Sergeant Major)
