Rizzykissangel

Mon went to the Bison in Clapham Common to see Man City v Liverpool..what's MNF? Has to be a trendy acronym Monday Night Football..remember the Mitchell and Webb skit about overzealous football fever? It was me, Em and Scotty. Wasn't too busy which was nice. Tevez has lovely hair like me. What's the text joke about Man City? 'webuyanycunt.com' set to that annoying refrain. Onto the roof at the Frog; Bodeans another day. Was in the mood for a Jaigerbomb, then it was nice sofas inside.

Sent a casting agent a pic of me in 80's garb; a Del Boy sweater. Have some filming in the morning Upton Park way.
I'm a dog whisperer; i have a gift.

Likely to go to Lords on Fri having gone to the Oval on opening day last session last week; liked it starting on a Wed. Had a gorgeous view; Broad just missed out on a 50, Prior'll make Kieswetter wait. Swanny got some gentle tap from fans following his pussy related drink drive scrape. At 6.30 stumps went from Vauxhall to Angel. This hilarious fan was walking in front of a car much to the anger of the driver and to the amusement of us. At the other end went past Spoons and i knew it was Helen inside early; i could sense her and i know her body shape. We used a Camra coupon. I mix past and present; wanted to take her to some of the places i've been going to like the Lexington. Then to the Compass which was most agreeable and where Howie tapped on the window to greet and meet us. Onto a jazz bar.

Thurs was two birthdays. Met Debs in the Swan, Brentwood at lunchtime. We don't always meet up so it was good to catch up on a milestone birthday. I gave the first of her collection of b'day cards. 'Stressed about your age? Stressed is just dessert backwards'. Finally had Bud 66 which is actually very pleasant; light and sweet. David bought Debs 40 space invaders. I don't like the shell but like the sherbet. Then had Estrella on tap. I was there 1 till 4.30 before heading back London way for part 2. Met Mel in Covent Garden, had some wine then went to Langleys for early, pre theatre dinner. Mel had fish n chips served in newspaper. A dance afterwards, then to see dance; Tap Dogs. I've always liked tap dancing; it was choreographed..on benches etc. The guys were at the opening ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Pretty good near Somerset House; dance music. Went to the Tattershall Castle for some riverside ambience; bumped into Stevo.

Fri back to Brentwood to see Mandy and Peter; Gardeners then W1 for some serious 80s tunage. Back in South had a lovely meat and chips.

Sat started 2.15 at Zeitgeist; St Pauli in the Bundesliga. I had bockwurst which comes with potato salad. A stunning 3-1 away win. Top of the table big scorers next as we meet Hoffenheim. Met some new ppl Marianna and Champa. Then Dodge just near Vauxhall as an early start was to become a degenerate night. Saw a short film in Juno, Shoreditch with Em and her friends. Ppl sit on those Barclays bikes when they're out. Next stop the Dragon; Zatec, Blue Moon and i caught up with James. 333, Mother Bar, skinny dipping in the Serpentine. Taxied back, got in 5.50am, watched Green Wing on dvd, made Em a tuna sandwich, slept about 7am. Just before midday went out for Sun lunch. 15 min wait for a tram so we went to the graveyard. Spoons in East Croydon was quiet after the Shoreditch noise. Did some Primark shopping, saw jazz at the Green Dragon. We keep it going in a supernova way; the Sun in Carshalton..Owd Rodger 7.6% It was where the pub dog warmed to me. The Hope's friendly; had Wilkins cider at 7.1. The recovery session went on till 10.30 Sun night. 'A bohemian like me'. I do good hermitry also.

Don't give up the ghost

Had lamb with shothkora; a Sylheti delight. You can also get lobster in a mustard paste. How do you make kutchi biriyani? It's a skill which has got to be done right or you're gonna get poisoned by raw meat. No karela ghost today nor brain curry..no brainer..no Reyna after his volleyball yesterday. Actually he's solid.

I'm the key on a corned beef tin, the wheels on a 99p shop trolley basket. Enjoyed a Snickers milkshake..ooh yeah. Going to see Tap Dogs on Thurs. Want to go on the BT Tower sometime; romantic. The former Post Office Tower shags countryside hills.

friends and liasons

May go to Peterborough beer fest; work a session there, go to the lovely Charters boat for a sedate game of darts. These are positive, exciting times; looking forward to my birthday on Sun..some new additions in the last year. The Bill crowd splitting up; Lucinda's moving to the States..it was a pleasure working with them.

Felliniesque lifestyle

Yesterday went to the Paya and Horse, Battersea Park where a mad Serbian runs the rule. He was espousing the virtues of his food ' you know when we get too many piglets, well that's we use' and to one punter he barked' i call you ginger as i don't know your name'. I used to live just up Battersea Park Road but no need to be nostalgic and live in the past. Went to the Mason Arms, then we went to Putney Bridge; the Eight Bells which is propa South London..manky ale. Mixed crowd; different strands. Mixed grill at Spoons. Funny enough on Sun morning stopped at a Spoons for a big brek on way back from a party. I'd gone from a mad last day stint at GB beer fest to a birthday where there was a bbq and copius champagne flowing.. ales to champ..nice change. You know it's going to be a fun party when you see a pole in the room; dobre goost is 'good taste' in Pole-ish. Just after 2am i had a blanket round me creating a Harlesden fest. Retreating to the sofa my fellow sleepee Marek's snoring didn't make for the best rest. Got up 6.15am, had some Guinness and enjoyed the peace.

Ya Sat the beer fest started earlier at 11am; the week long staple of coffee and ale/ cider before (and during) shifts for the last time with a Young Members crawl in between by way of a break. Jeans and shoes for that day as moving on from there. Fri was board shorts; different shorts, and crocs all week. Extravaganja of beer, and work is a rush. Colourful, funny hats were the order of the week.
