Overwhelmed doesn’t begin to describe how I feel right now, baffled, full of joy, confused, fan struck, dazzled come close! But most of all grateful.

Just came back from a overall perfect trip in London. Here are some of the photos that show the highlights of my trip.

First night I spent watching adults make complete idiots of themselves and loved every second of it! Karaoke Circus was lovely night out.

Goran Ivanišević after the first match at the Albert Hall. Mansour Bahrami, the Iranian tennis player was the highlight!

Having tea on the staircase of the Albert Hall before the second night of tennis matches.

The lovely guest-house where we stayed, its in North Lambeth and a delightful place to stay if you want to explore central London!

Oscar Wilde was right as always!

Tea at the Ritz, well it was everything you imagine and more, yes its expensive but its worth it!

Yes I of course I had to go all the way to Mornington Crescent just so I could take a few photos. Noticed there still isn’t a blue plaque for Humphrey Lyttelton, London should be ashamed, he was truly a great man and deserves it!

Ian Hislop and Richard Ingrams at the Private Eye Annual book singing. I’ve been a fan of Ingrams for many years, I’ve listened to him on the news quiz, read many articles writen by him so to see him there, well it left me speechless!

The lovely Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders opening the “a not so silent night” concert with a few jokes. The concert was something completely different, with performances from Boy George, Martha Wainwright, and many many others.

Rufus and his boyfriend, they sang Silent Night in German, both have amazing voices!

The Comedy Store where you see Paul Merton and other brilliant comedians do impro twice a week! We went to the screening of the wonderful documentary about the life of Jim Sweeney. Here is the link to the trailer. Go and see it if you can, its hilarious! Or follow Jim Sweeney on twitter.

On our last night we went to the recording of “Have I got news for you”. And afterwards to the 14th floor of the London studios for complimentary drinks with Ian Hislop, Paul Merton, James May,etc

Whilst in London I also meet two very lovely twitter friends who made the London trip even more memorable so thanks you two!

Overall it was fucking amazing trip! Hopefully next time I’m in London I’ll go to a recording of “I’m sorry I haven’t a clue” and then I’ll have ticked all the boxes on my “To do/see list in the UK”…

Day 1:

This was taken at the Brnik airport, we had terrible fog but thankfully not a bumpy ride!

First up it was Karaoke Circus which was loads of fun! People from the audience and celebrity guests performed karaoke with the help of a live band. Guests included Dave Gorman, Ben Miller, Chris Addison,etc

Planing a trip to London this December for 8 days. I’ve been to London twice before so it won’t be that much of sightseeing. I’ve planned a perfect schedule including watching tennis legends at the Albert Hall, going to the Comedy store to see the players perform, go and laugh at Jeremy Hardy stand up, listen to Rufus Wainwright, Martha and their mum sing the the Albert Hall and to top it all a perfect last evening going to the recording of Have I got news for you.
Got tickets to everything and nearly got the tickets for Have I got news for you, waited for 3pm went to the HatTrick website clicked on get tickets and got a lovely email saying:

Thank you for applying for tickets for Have I Got News For You (Show 8), on Thursday, 10 December 2009 at 18:45, recording at The London Studios.

You will receive an email shortly informing you if your ticket application has been successful in the next few days.

Which my small overly excited brain interpreted it as: “Ohh yes I got the tickets!”, but that only lasted for a couple of days when I got the email from HatTrick saying they ran out of tickets, to which my broken heart said: “Bollocks!”.

So now I have the last day free and need to find some show/concert/activity to fill it with, if you have any suggestions do leave them in the comments, I would appreciate it very much!

Besides the lovely comedy, sports and music shows I will also be going to the Ritz for afternoon tea, its a little treat since I’ve never been and hopefully having lunch at a Jamie Oliver’s restaurant just so I can compare it to Gordon Ramsey’s. We’ve been to one of Gordon restaurants last year and didn’t go all that well, I found a small snail, or a worm not sure, in the salad and well that somehow ruined the experience of paying far too much for a meal and then finding the wrong kind of meat in your meal. Although I must say the staff were very nice and replaced the dish and even gave us some chocolate and the food wasn’t bad at all, guess the snail/worm like creature was an added bonus!:D

So London it is in December, lets hope the plans stay the way they are and things should be great! Any suggestions of things to do in London would be appreciated also planning a quick visit to the country side so any ideas on that are also welcome.

Edited:

I managed to get tickets for Have I got news for you, thanks to a very nice person, so now the London trip should be perfect indeed! And HatTrick are the nicest production company around! :)
