              A mate of mine had him stay over at his a few years ago, as he prefers staying at peoples houses to staying in hotels. He said 'never again'
              Politicians are wonderfull people, as long as they stay away from things they don't understand, like working for a living!

                  Not sure whether it counts as culture, but I went to see Avenue Q with cojak
                  And what a hoot it was!

                  But I agree with all the above. Go to the cinema. Or a pub gig. Or buy a uke and turn up at the Royal George on a Wednesday for a thrash. Or window shop around Coventry Garden or Oxford St.

                  Get the Time Out app, that will give you all sorts of ideas.

                    Or even go to a CUK evening, where you will at least meet me and Bunk.

                      Time Out is the answer, although there was none of this app malarkey in my day. Pick a fringe play with a good review of a film at the NFT or Renoir and see something you wouldn't normally bother with.
