The Hoxton Urban Lodge is a boutique hotel in London, and they are offering a £1 Room Sale. That's a meagre 2 US dollars to stay in a boutique hotel in one of the most expensive cities in the world.

There are 500 rooms available for £1 and 500 at £29 between 1st August and 31st October 2008. The last time this sale was on over 500,000 people tried to book, so it resembles a lottery as much as a sale. Like the lottery you've got to be in it to win it, so if you are planning a trip to London it's worth having a go at getting a one pound room.

Other offers include:
- Rooms for £59 over the August Bank Holiday.
- All Sundays in September at £59.
- All Fridays and Saturdays in November at £79.
- Rooms from £30 in December.
- Rooms on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day for £30.

You can find out about the next £1 sale by joing The Hoxton mailing list.

British Trash Mags

Being a nomad I don't watch much TV. Youtube has replaced my tv. Sometimes I watch DVD's of TV shows but generally speaking I have no idea what's on the box anymore.

I do like to scan the headlines of trashy magazines though in newsagencies, if only to keep up with names of the day.
