London of course!

A catchy and funny commercial of EuroStar: “It’s summer time in London”:

And this one is just perfect for an airline:

London is full of surprises and puzzles. This poster was found attached to wall of Southwark Bridge:

“Love me and one another” – yes, but the picture? A hidden message maybe? Real.ly a puzzle.

And “The money isn’t working” is so true these days in the City. The money is on holidays while the bankers are fired.

On 2 April 2009, world Leaders from the G20 countries will meet in London at the Excel Centre. As is typical during these events, a week of protests is being planned commencing Saturday 28th March.

You need to be aware of the following information and action the points below in advance of the week of disruptions to help us prepare for any potential issues. We will also be sending a separate email to all staff next week.

The impact of the G20 Conference on operations at 25 Bank Street:

We currently believe that for 25 Bank Street, the key dates which may impact us are Wednesday 1st April and Thursday 2nd April.

The DLR, road transportation and tube lines are likely to be affected to some degree at various times throughout these two days. This may result in staff or suppliers facing difficulty travelling to or from 25 Bank Street.

Although the focus (as we currently understand it) is The City and the Excel Arena, it is possible that demonstrations may impact the Canary Wharf estate at some stage.

We advise you to discourage visitors to 25 Bank Street around these two days and cancel unnecessary appointments out of the building for these two days.

Since they start reconstruction and scaffolding of the South-West side, something changed there in the lighting, so now when crossing the bridge from the South towards the Tower one can see a ghost shadow:

On my usual South Bank walk this evening I noticed something unusual. Someone, either from Tate Modern, or any other opposite building, was projecting single English words on the roof of St Paul’s. Below goes a short list of what I have jotted on my way:

LONDON SEX DARK HAIR SPRING RAIN BREASTS NEW WORLDS HOME YOUTH HIS TOY PLANE LIGHT LOVE LOST GOD IS BIG … … BREATH PARTIES …. A SWIN … WISDOM TIME LOST MUD ….LONG PARTING GOOD WINE SKIN COFFEE HEAVEN IS OTHER PEOPLE FOR LONDON NOT FAME … FATE FREE FROM WANT LEGACY FIRST MOTHER FRIENDS …. BOOKS … THOUGHTS .. MODEST PYJAMAS TIME DARK KEEP TAKING CHANGES HONOUR THE EARTH YOUR MOTHER NOT POVERTY NOT FEAR ESSE EST PEARCIPI RITUAL WATER A KISS STAR TREK A TRUTH  YOU HEART YOUR HANDS LOCK …SORROW … DESPAIR …. FIREFLY WRONG TURNS GOD IN ALL HER FORMS SEX…

Where … stands for some words in Arabic and Hindi interchanging with the rest of this code. As it appears the list is most likely the top 1000 English words by usage. Is it?

“SEX” on St Paul – unbelievable. Let’s break all the norms – and they, probably, call it an art.

Everyone was talking about it on their way.

Any idea of who and more importantly, what it was, actually??? Your comments are welcome.

Below are few shots I made with my phone camera, shame I didn’t have a proper one. Pay attention to the letters in blue colour:

And few videos as well, look for the blue light changing on the top of St Paul’s:
