Yesterday, I went to buy a assortment of pumpkins!...

Now round here, history abounds..
2 minutes from me is Naoroji St.

Named after Dada Naoroji (1825-1917)

Dada was a zoroastrian, he even started a European Trust Fund for Zoroastrianism.
'I've held a soft spot for them for years, ever since " Thus Spake Zarathustra" Fred Nietzsche.

Gandhi wrote to Naoroji in 1894, saying that:
"The Indians look up to you as children to the father. Such is really the feeling here."

He was so fed up with our British Empire he came over here to the source, to sort it out.
Clerkenwell, home to the world's revolutionists & thinkers..

He tried magnificently, but failed...
The Zoroastrian religion states: 'that active and ethical participation in life through good deeds formed from good thoughts and good words is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay....inhale!

"Drink wine in moderation, for who so drinks wine immoderately falls into many a sin.”
Probably due to hanging out with Marx & Engels in our many pubs...

Just rushed into the office to inform Simona, that the President of the United States has just been shot in Dallas.
She was on the phone and freaked!
Then I told her it was only Kevin Spacey: Series 4 episode 4.
