How much wood would a woodchuck chuck
If a woodchuck could chuck wood?
He would chuck, he would, as much as he could,
And chuck as much as a woodchuck would
If a woodchuck could chuck wood.

A twist that he twisted was a three-twisted twist;
If in twisting a twist one twist should untwist,
The untwisted twist would untwist the twist.

Picasso major exhibition at the Gagosian Gallery in Kings Cross:  “Picasso: The Mediterranean Years (1945-1962)” until August 28.

With a focus on Picasso’s most intimate works, “Picasso: The Mediterranean Years” will provide an important contrast to Tate Liverpool’s exhibition “Picasso: Peace and Freedom.” Between these two exhibitions, visitors to Great Britain in the summer of 2010 will have an extraordinary opportunity to explore the public and private faces of this peerlessly multi-dimensional artist in the 1950s.

And if you need accommodation in London, Dinwiddy House is just round the corner!

Buy a UK SIM card for your mobile phone

these are ‘pay as you go’ and make calls to UK numbers much cheaper. If you receive a call on your mobile from a Country outside the UK (or from a foreign registered mobile) you are charged for the call: this makes it very expensive. With a UK SIM you are not charged for income calls.

Usually you don’t have to pay for the SIM card, you are only charged for the credit you top up.

The shells she sells are surely seashells.
So if she sells shells on the seashore,

Maybe today you had the chance to watch a spectacular parade at the Horse Guards…

or maybe during the last days you just walked through Green Park and was wondering what were all that British Flags for…

Today the World Cup opened with two draws  (South Africa 1 - 1 Mexico and Uruguay 0 - 0 France).

In South Africa this was a Happy Day: as journalists report, all the worries about crime and security, tickets, transport and infrastructure melted away in the bright Johannesburg sunshine. A couple of hours before the match started  fans of all ages and backgrounds were running excitedly into the stadium for a party to remember.

The world cup fever is  spreading in London too. There’s no other city in the world where you can cheer along with fans of each of the 32 nations competing. Time Out published a list of what apparently are the best places to watch the matches, nation by nation.
