Ae Fond Kiss

Sun night we went to Redan, Bayswater..when does hair of the dog turn into another session? Loud Algerian fans there celebrating their win. Then we went to the Mother Bar, Hoxton. Great to hear LL Cool J's 'Mama said knock you out' and UK Apache's 'Original Nuttah'. We had black sambucca and i had a Guinness. They stop serving about an hour before the end which isn't bad; punters sober up. Me and Mad Dog were vegeburgered up. We got in just after 5am.

Today (Mon) we booked to see an Orbital dj set on Fri. Met Maxi at the Two Brewers, Selhurst, i had Oranjeboom. At Palace i got tickets for Sat's Peterborough game. £3 for tonight's F.A Youth Cup. And to celebrate Rabbie Burns night we had a wee dram of whisky from an Evian bottle- and to keep warm. We support football at grass roots level and were comfortable 2-0 winners. Attendance 657. Half time Bovril complimented the whisky. Giles was well chuffed to meet Nigel Clough as an ardent Derby fan.

Helen came down to South Norwood Spoons; i had a lovely steak and kidney pudding in the absence of haggis, neaps and tatties.
I still have to see Rock and Chips on the iplayer; good music a la Ashes to Ashes i'm told. Doing some filming Tues afternoon, some 2pm brunch. Rick from Minnesota is over so hope to see him.
