Saying Goodbye


My roommate's last day in England today, so we did something which he had wanted to do since he got to London: go to Speaker's Corner for a few hours and listen to the random rantings going on. I took along my shiny new camera, and had a play with the video function on it as well. No sound, unfortunately, but the visuals are good quality. If I get the time, I'll put a couple up here for your perusal. I took some pictures though, which can be found in the new "Photos" section. More on that later.

At Speaker's Corner, there was a load of different people speaking their mind on various subjects. The problem was, most of it was trying to convince people to believe in Jesus, or Mohammed or whomever. As you're probably aware, I'm a devout atheist, so didn't have too much time to listen to them give their spiel. There was one lonely guy who had a sandwich board around his neck promoting "Christian Atheists." I'm not quite sure how that works, but another of his placards read "To receive Jesus you must reject God." Aren't they one and the same thing, Holy Trinity and all that?

At least he was positive (I think). Another guy in the vicinity had the slogan "It's going to get worse" on his sandwich board. The most animated was this guy. Just the most random looking guy ever. I've got a really good video of him in action, I might put that up soon. The final guy we listened to was an anti-feminist. Apparently, feminism is to blame for every single wrong in the world at the moment. Damn right. Although he did take it a bit far by claiming that there are 4 times as many unemployed men as women in the UK. I don't believe that for one second...

Once we got back from there, a few of us popped into Hampstead for a quick pint in this idyllic, quaint little pub. It's buried on the back streets of Hampstead, and is possibly my new favourite pub. I've said that a few times already though...

Got to be up early tomorrow (today?) to take my roommate to the airport. It's going to be weird without him. Hopefully I'll see him again at some point, but I'm really going to miss him. He's been a good friend for the past 9 months or so, plus he got me home when I was absolutely wasted at the Fresher's Ball and broke my front teeth...
