If you hear someone shouting “FREE HUGS FOR ANYONE WHO CAN NAME THREE U.S. PRESIDENTS,” that’s Dave. Dave is a local legend who performs Shakespearean monologues while juggling, and today he’s wearing a full pirate costume with a ukulele. He’s raised sixteen pounds so far—and one very confused tenner from a toddler who just wanted the parrot on his shoulder.
A police officer stopped to watch, laughed, and then asked Dave to move along because he was blocking the entrance to a Greggs. Dave retorted with a Hamlet soliloquy about sausage rolls. The crowd roared. The officer clapped awkwardly and walked away.

The Bus That Wouldn’t… Stop
Traffic is a beautiful nightmare today. A double-decker bus got stuck under a bridge on Marble Arch because the driver—bless him—tried to “be cool” and take a shortcut. Now he’s just sitting there, music blasting, with passengers live-streaming the whole thing on TikTok.
One woman is reading a book called Zen and the Art of Being Stuck. The irony is so thick you could spread it on toast. Meanwhile, a bike courier named Raj is yelling, “THIS IS WHY I DON’T HAVE A CAR, KAREN!” at no one in particular. Solid performance, Raj.
