    I had to sit in on a rather tedious finance meeting this morning, no input and purely observational so my mind wandered after not very long and so did my eye. Thank f*ck I was facing out as the office looked over some sort of dance studio and for an hour I sat there nodding as if in approval of the kack on the Powerpoint but instead watched the dancers going through their routines.

    Pure yoga-pants heaven and I think we are all comfortable enough on GC with our own sexuality that you won't mind me saying I spent best part of an hour with a semi.

    I have been lucky over the years to observe many a voyeuristic glimpse or two.

    What have you seen out of your window/cell?

    I have pigeons that are currently nesting under the solar panels on the roof. They sit on my windowsill and **** down the front of the house.

    PS: Yogapants are awesome but only worn by the right people. My guess is that they should be banned in Scotland, and from several rotund people that decide to wear them on the tube and walk up the steps very slowly in front of you, blocking the way so you're forced to see lots of nasty folds...

    I went to a restaurant with my family and surprised everyone by ordering the whole meal in fluent Mandarin.



    It was an Italian restaurant.

    @pud I think Dev might have hacked your account.

    I can see The Emirates stadium from my place of work. They normally leave the lights on at night, but last night it was in total darkness. Presumably that's because arsenal's season is over.

    Is that the Spinnaker Tower at Gunwharf Quays?

    Love a bit of shopping there, especially the Jack Wills shop which is always full of skinny teen burds in small clothes.

    Being Portsmouth and our foremost Naval town there must be hundreds of working ladies, when the Fleet's in and all that jizz.

    They come down from London when the Americans show up. Other than that there are some Chinese "rub and tug" shops near the docks.

    Indeed that's the Spinnaker tower on the right and the Lipstick building on the left. The penthouse there was on the market for about 3 mil a few years back, it has a glass piano in it.
