24hoursfromtulsehill Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 What I don't get is this: I've just spent the day working in the House of Commons Library. I'm off to the expensive gym in Canary Wharf, where I will no doubt use my phone for social networking while riding through a representation of the French countryside on an exercise bike, and occasionally looking up to see the drama unfolding on SSN. I'm then off out for respectable beers and a bite to eat in East Dulwich. And I'm still only a hiptster beatnik :censored:. Where am I going wrong?
