I missed my return flight

I discovered yesterday morning that I'd missed my return flight to South Africa by 10 days. D'oh.. so much for thinking it was booked for September. So £350 later (it was the cheapest option by 100%) and I'm now sitting with a 20 hour one-way flight which has a stop-over in Qatar, complete with boneless chicken meal. The ticket just arrived at my door via next day Special Delivery, and apparently I misspelt my name so it reads "Damiien". Nooo! Curses, will the torment ever end! UPDATE: Mistake has been corrected and no costs incurred, yes!

So hopefully, as of 23rd December, Cape Town will again be called home. I can't wait!

Went to the London Aquarium on Sunday, which, if you're wondering why you'd never heard about it before, was just very average. It's alongside the London Eye and across the Thames from Westminster Abbey Palace of Westminster. I flickr'ed some photos. We'd coincidentally watched Closer the night before, which contains a scene that was filmed in front of the large display containing the Easter Island Head. Great film! - engaging story and brilliant acting.

After leaving I caught sight of another Banksy stencil.

Lastly, my 3 steps to a successful .com startup:
1. Set reminder event on phone about idea
2. Register domain name
3. Take over the world

Roar! Watch this space.

No Dames doooon’t gooooo! Can’t believe we’re losing you to home… we’ll meet up when I come over in Feb, right? RIGHT?

In the meantime, we must stop this random hanging out and see a bit more of you. Drunk bus ride home again this weekend? :)
