Bluetooth Advertisement At London Victoria Station

There was an ad for a Channel Four documentary station on the big screen at London Victoria station asking people to turn on Bluetooth for a free download.

I tried it but had no luck getting anything. A quick scan of bluetooth devices around me showed only nokia phones and nothing that could be a download service.

Shame it didn't work. I guess bluetooth's short range may have been the problem.

London Buses

Look carefully at this picture and guess where the bus is going?

Correct, it's Victoria!

Now guess where you catch the bus to London Victoria?

Here's a clue, this picture was taken in Charing Cross Road.

The answer? Certainly not Charing Cross Road. None of there buses stop anywhere near apparently. As the driver of a 38 said tonight, do i look like i go to fucking Victoria, whilst making moron signs under his bobble hat. Obviously the 38 to Victoria as the signs claim doesn't actually go to Victoria.

No, although the road is full of Victoria buses, none will let you board for the entire length of the road.

The answer is to walk to tottenham court road and tube it.

London tourists beware, buses in central London are staffed by morons who are as helpful as a Saddam Hussein at a war crimes tribunal on gassing Kurds.

Salmon Teriyaki Recipe

Here's an easy and quick recipe for salmon teriyaki.

I've cheated and bought a prepared teriyaki sauce instead of making my own, but this dish is still delicious. The secret is to marinade the salmon for at least 3 hours before cooking, longer is possible. The cooking time itself is under 10 minutes.

You will need the following ingredients...

Salmon steaks
Spring onions, 2 per steak
Kinnoman Teriyaki Sauce

Method

Marinade each salmon steak in about 7 teaspoons of the teriyaki sauce for at least 3 hours.
Slice the spring onions finely and diagonally.
Lift the salmon from the marinade, and place into a hot griddle, keeping the marinade for later.
Cook each side until browned on a high heat.
Turn the heat down and cook for a further 3 minutes or until the steak is cooked through.
Pour the remaining marinade over the top of the steaks and let it reduce for a minute.
Serve with the spring onions sprinkled on top.

This dish works really well when served with lightly salted boiled basmati rice.

For the ingredients, I've found the fish mongers in the Eastbourne Enterprise Centre to have the best fresh fish.
