Oil Spill

BuYousef — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 22:32:40 +0000

Photo by BitJockey. More here.

I arrived this morning from a business trip. When I read on 248am and Nicole B blogs about a spill near the North Pier, I headed straight to the beach and saw the action there. There were two security cars. Having just arrived from 12 hour flight, the last thing I wanted to do is argue about taking photos. I chickened out – so please click the links in this post for more information.

Blue Elephant Blues

BuYousef — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 06:39:18 +0000

It seems the rumours of the Blue Elephant closing are true. I hate to be the one who confirms this but the restaurant is changing! It will remain “oriental” but will not be part of the same international chain. I first tried this restaurant in Copenhagen, then in London. My wife and I have eaten at this one on average twice a month for the past year. They’ve even mastered our meals for take-away (Thanks Alex). I’m surprised they’re not making enough money just out of the two of us.

The good news is that the great staff will be the same – which means we will still have delicious food and good service.

I will miss seeing this logo.

Creepy Crawlies

BuYousef — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 08:04:57 +0000

I had a comment on one of my posts about creepy crawlies. I found this photograph taken back in January. I wanted to show how this area is still home to the wildlife of the region. I would guess that they will be there until the street lights come on and more and more people move in.
