Thousands have converged on central London to protest against the G-20 summit. Some demonstrators are trying to storm the Bank of England on a day that demonstrators have branded “Financial Fools Day.”
Tens of thousands of people marched across central London Saturday to demand jobs, economic justice and environmental accountability, kicking off six days of protest and action planned in the run-up to the G20 summit next week.
…And, I must add, the signs have saved my life about 100 times, because I am indeed dumb, an American, and for my entire life have been looking for traffic left to right before crossing the street.
Hello. Currently in London. Oh, by the way, every time I try to watch a video, I get the following messages. WTF, it’s not like I’m in a cave in Afghanistan. I’m in goddamn England! It must suck being here — half the sites I visit, I can’t access the content. Thanks for ruining the WWW, you evil corporations. (And that was suppose to stand for WORLD wide web.)
Thank God those evil Englanders can’t watch the SNL Digital Short of Natalie Portman rapping on SNL. That’ll show ‘em for not giving us our independence. Instead, through IP lookups and cookies, I get wonderful localized ad banners that make no frakin sense… Like the following banner ad when I visit Buzz Newsroom:
Lastly, my “nice” hotel doesn’t even have Wi-Fi. Guess what, I’m charged .50 pounds PER MINUTE to use the Internet. That’s going to cost me what, in currency exchange, $75 to write this post?! Crap… And this is what I see when I log into Facebook. Maybe I’ll just drown my sorrows. Cheers!
“Are there some things a girl shouldn’t share with her mother?”
A story of Londoners connected by family, friends and a certain therapist who brings all her patients’ problems back to their mothers. Lives start to unravel during an eventful dinner party where the cook spoils the food, a coke headed model flirts with a married vicar, a secret affair is exposed, old family wounds are reopened and… of course… one meddling mother drops by to cause even more trouble.
Be the first to own the DVD just in time for Mother’s Day on March 22nd, 2009 in the U.K. and a subsequent release in the U.S. in May.
Mothers & Daughters debuted at Cannes and then traveled to festivals world wide including: Sao Paulo, Montreal, Quebec, Barcelona, Chicago Indie Fest, Los Angeles, The Hamptons, Raindance, Braunschweig and finally Dinard where it was chosen as one of the top six British films of 2004.

The power of those Internets stuff is pretty amazing.
Thousands of dancers jammed a major London train station in a Facebook-driven “flashmob” mimicking an advertisement for a phone company. And the event last Friday evening was so successful that another is planned for next Friday in Trafalgar Square in central London. Plus, a group has been set up to organize another one at Liverpool Street Station a week later. Videos posted on the social-networking site showed Liverpool Street Station completely filled with people, counting down the seconds until the clock showed 7 p.m., then dancing to music on their mp3 players as the hour struck. – From CNN
Liverpool Street Station was forced to close for around 90 minutes on Friday night after being over-run by dancers mimicking the T-Mobile “dance” ad. According to reports, more than 13,000 people congregated on the station concourse for a silent disco at 7pm last Friday, organised through the social networking site Facebook. The flashmob prompted police to close the station for fears of overcrowding, and some arrests were made for public order offences. – From Brand Republic

Participants, some of whom had travelled hundreds of miles to take part, said the station was so packed that there was no room to dance. – From the Telegraph
