This is a dangerous game. Not only do you end up feeling very sick you also have to go to places like Perivale. (duh duh duhhhhhhhhh)
Myself and Lisa are pretty new to london so we thought the best method for exploring was one of random selection. Little did we know that Lisa would turn out to be posessed with an evil 'skill' for picking the places no tourist would ever dream of going....because they made you die a little bit inside.
Our first ten spins of the tube map landed us in Oxford Street. Nice ,but we'd already been there. Then it wa s Lisas turn. It started to rain, it was an omen we wish we hadn't ignored and she picked...
It was chucking it down when we got there and we couldn't find a map so we headed to a newsagents to ask where the town centre was. Simple enough question but all he could do was laugh. A local man (we could tell he was local because he was holding a can of skol) walked in and said if we wanted tescos then to go through the car park. Great. the above pictures are all we found. in the distance of the last one is said Tescos. Probably the most bizzare Tescos ive ever seen actually. By this point we'd come to the conclusion that we'd acidentally taken a really fast 'magic' tube to one of the rougher parts of Derby. Then we saw the diner. 
We saw 'Starvin Marvins' from a walkway over a motorway , glistening in the rain like a friendly silver bullet. Inside was a mixture of retro fittings, amusing signs , dust and dead flies so we ordered two hot dogs and sat down. The waiters were friendly and the 'no spitting' sign made me chuckle, all the windows were steamed up so you couldn't see outside and it was all very nice. There was a strange bunch of people in there, an Asian family that didn't talk to each other, A couple making 'probably the biggest decisions of their lives' over some nachos and a couple of teenage extras from 'deliverance' that were talking very graphically with their parents about sex. it would have put me off my hot dog had i not already noticed it was made of 'sheets' of pink stuff that i can only hope had seen a pig at some point.
