I think these signs are the most convenient thing. They were a staple of my experience.

10 Downing Street is such a more functional name than The White House
Churchill.taken from http://dailyroutines.typepad.com/
Despite all this activity Churchill’s daily routine changed little during these years. He awoke about 7:30 a.m. and remained in bed for a substantial breakfast and reading of mail and all the national newspapers. For the next couple of hours, still in bed, he worked, dictating to his secretaries.
At 11:00 a.m., he arose, bathed, and perhaps took a walk around the garden, and took a weak whisky and soda to his study.
At 1:00 p.m. he joined guests and family for a three-course lunch. Clementine drank claret, Winston champagne, preferable Pol Roger served at a specific temperature, port brandy and cigars. When lunch ended, about 3:30 p.m. he returned to his study to work, or supervised work on his estate, or played cards or backgammon with Clementine.
At 5:00 p.m., after another weak whisky and soda, he went to be for an hour and a half. He said this siesta, a habit gained in Cuba, allowed him to work 1 1/2 days in every 24 hours. At 6:30 p.m. he awoke, bathed again, and dressed for dinner at 8:00 p.m.
Dinner was the focal-point and highlight of Churchill’s day. Table talk, dominated by Churchill, was as important as the meal. Sometimes, depending on the company, drinks and cigars extended the event well past midnight. The guests retired, Churchill returned to his study for another hour or so of work.

Ah! This is where it got ridiculous.Leicester Square
My eye was naturally drawn to what appeared to be some variety of public spectacle
It turned out to be the London premiere of this movie, from the same director as Notting Hill an d Love Actually, with a ton of British actors in it, so naturally it was a big deal (go-go dancers big deal)http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1131729/

oh, btw, just note that I do not have much zoom on my camera. I was standing about arm's reach away from the following personalities.
Talulah Riley?
However, this was the capstone of the night.This is Nick Frost, star of both the highly recommended "Shaun of The Dead" and "Spaced"
he looked me in the eye, pointed at me, and said he thought I was Seth Rogen, pausing from the paparazzi for a full minute.
Strange but true.
looks like Webb's cow
and on to the next day.
