One band was good

can't remember the name though, three piece from Newcastle, and bullandgate.co.uk is no use...Off to either the Defoe or the Wheatsheaf later to play pool... the Defoe is nicer to take our guests to, but the Wheatsheaf is only 50p a game, choices cho...

Royal Bengal

After a very short pub crawl yesterday (couple of smashing pints in The Defoe, then no drinks in Bar Lorca, as their "all cocktails �9 a jug" offer turned out to be a lie, then the Coach and Horses]]) we did end up going to The Royal Bengal in the en...

Holiday reading

While I was away I read Matthew's Prize: Being the Tale of a Whitby Orphan Boy's Longing to Navigate the Broad Seas though I didn't know the title was so long at the time... it's about PIRATES, and it's quite good, if a bit of a blokey version of a m...

Eating in Alcudia

Places we ate, while I remember... hotelbahiadealcudia.com where we were half board had a big buffet affair for breakfast and tea, and they were both a bit grim. La Traviata on Avenida de Mexico has aspirations, but was similarly awful, possibly beca...

Denim and Leather (but not actually leather)

What a smashing day, it's the first time this year I've not had my big coat on and have given the denim jacket a dusting down, nice... I will be up Primrose Hill later with my top off no doubt.Had a bundle of things I wanted to say, but spent so long...

Maggots Michael, you're eating maggots...

Mark Bolan's leather hat

H2G2 says Stokey library has Marc Bolan's hat on display. We didn't see it when we went there looking for it. Library has lots of videos and some DVD's to hire though, including loads of Buffy....

Comedy Tonight Too

Charity show at the Theatre Royal Haymarket... decided not to go for the gala buffet tickets, even though Clare's fave Ian McKellan MIGHT be there... there couldn't offer any guarantees on the phone, so it could easily just have been a Sunday night i...

Still waiting for you to upload some pictures and video

I've seen the snowman on Kerry's facebook, very nice...

Weather For Me

Will have a look at this when I get home... Probably too American to be of any use to me, but it's an app that grabs weather reports from weather.com and saves them to your IPOD... ...

New IPOD feature

The new IPOD game available with software version 2.1 is brilliant, I installed it last night... it plays a sample of a random song on your IPOD and offers you a multiple choice to guess which song it is... the quicker you are the more points you get...

Welcome to the Cheap Seats

Much drinking yesterday, crawled by the Pint Pot, the Rose and Crown, and the Stoke Tup before our curry at Anglo Asian... wasn't as good as usual, mostly this time because we were sat on the next table to Miles Hunt of The Wonder Stuff, and he and h...

Creatif

Another new blog at 20six.co.uk/creatif, with talk of David Beckham, a subject that's been avoided so far around here. My first instinct was that it was all a press generating scam, but now I'm not sure, and not really bothered either....

The great escape

Love these chairs:

Other people's blogs

It's time for a roundup of things I've lazily ripped off casino-avenue.co.uk before heading home, first this piece about metblogs, interesting. I am trying REALLY HARD to read something rude into "soliciting... advertising" but I can't quite make it....
