A lot of my favourite places are associated with food, this is not just because I like eating (which I obviously do) but because food is a great way to see other people and have nice, stress free chats. A mountain of pasta and something involving chocolate can make even the most painful of conversations more pleasant. I'm particularly fond of lunches, which come without the pressures of needing to get home to sleep. Of the many and varied types of eating establishments out there my favourite by far, are pubs.

I love zoos. Buried in my dark cynical being there's a small child who absolutely adores day trips to the zoo to see the weird and wacky creatures.

I do not understand people that say they don't read or don't like books. That's like not eating, or not liking fresh air. 'With a book you are never alone' is a phrase uttered by someone pretentious, probably trying to sell his services as a critic, but it is indeed true. Sitting by yourself staring at your lunch, or into space on a park bench induces either sympathetic glances or edging away. But if you've got a book, no one thinks you're a crazy loner. Well I might be deluding myself there, but at least if I'm staring at a book I can't see the people giving me funny looks.

Starbucks is a special place for me. There are few places that are so easily accessible almost anywhere that can reliably be used as a sanctuary from the rest of the world. During the worst day at work I can use the motivation of lunch at Starbucks as a tool to get me through the morning without killing anyone. It relieves the morning’s stress and prepares for the afternoon’s potential traumas.

I finally got around to watching the inauguration ceremony tonight, my Sky box in a fit of right-wing ness refused to record it on Tuesday and I had to wait for it to turn up on iplayer. |
