London

So this weekend I went up to London for my brother Stuarts 40th birthday party celebrations.
I had a really good time and throughly enjoyed my trip to the Big Smoke!
We got up there in the afternoon and went out for some food. I received an unusual amount of hassle for having chips with my curry, as if I had committed the crime of the century rather than just fancying some chips!! Who knew that my choice of dinner would be of SO much interest to some people!!
Anyways we then met up with everyone else (who were a lot less interested in my culinary choices) at a pub and proceeded to catch up and have a really really nice time. We then moved onto a little club which was pretty cool and spent the time chatting, smiling and drinking copious amounts of alcohol.
It was lovely to have so many people I knew in one room all smiling and laughing and generally being in each others company. It was nice to catch up with people old and new.
I have only one complaint about the night…the music in the club Stu chose. I have managed to obtain about an hours worth of the actual music played on the night and have put some below so you can see what you think
Honestly the music was dire….I wanted really badly to get up and dance, but they just didn’t have any songs that made me want to do it. Every single fibre in my body was calling out for a song that just was a bit upbeat and made you want to go mental to it.
As Bill Hicks said “if you are going to play music then PLAY FROM YOUR F*****G HEART!!” not wishy washy lift music.
Anways as I say that was only a small part of what was a really nice night and I had lots and lots of fun.
Apparently as well though, going home at 2.30am is now considered a lightweight..Well you know if it is then I am very happy to be called a lightweight!
Oh and just so you know Stu we are going to a thrash metal club on my 40th

aha!! this made me chuckle. I don’t know if Stu told you I was outside that club at about midnight trying to get in, but considering the girl at the front of the queue told me she’d been waiting an hour, I decided that even the Carter Bros weren’t worth an hour of standing in the cold in inapproriate shoes!

Ahh gutted you couldn’t get in….Would have been really nice to meet you…Then again I have no idea what you look like so wouldn’t have known it was you anyways

The music was fantastic – what did you think you were going to get when I said the music policy was “Indie-pop and Northern Soul”?? Us London folks really like it – we’ve been going to that club for years, on and off!
Sigh. You have no soul. And you are a lightweight.
