Popbitch is in good company..

Some prostitutes just moved into the flat below popbitch's office, lovely!... and be careful. as of yesterday the first floor turned into a brothel. with "lovely lisa, 21".so popbitch is now sandwiched between a betting shop/brothel and a pie company...

Mighty Easter weekender, with The Cure

Hope you've all had as good an extended weekend as I have. As is usual when I've been off for a few days and not written up just went on immediately, I'm starting to forget it all. We're up now, on the last day of our five day break and I have a few ...

Particularly fulsome weekend, with curries.

Splendid weekend, a bit different this time, starting off with a half day on Friday. I headed to Winchester to meet up with some friends, and really needed the extra time to make the most of the night. Clare stayed home watching Children in Need afte...

Weekend train fun

Planning a little trip to Winchester tomorrow evening, to catch up with old friends and have a curry and a few drinks. Staying over, so no worries about trying to get back here, and then meeting Clare in London the next morning for shopping and thing...

Quiz action

Didn't go see the band in Hythe last night, did the quiz at The Grand instead. It's an easy one, so though we did quite well, we didn't do well enough. We dropped six questions out of 36, two on our vital joker round, so no meal for four prize for us...

Quite Interesting

Went back to QI, and it was ace, glad we made the effort. I had the afternoon off, and got away on time, so I had hours to kill before the show. I went to the National Gallery, and saw some paintings, it was nice. Then I wondered around Soho grazing ...

Fun night out

I can only just face up to writing down my fun night out on Monday, where I went for popbitch drinks, at The Coach and Horses, Soho. Well, one of them. All was going swimmingly, drinks kept turning up at the table for me, and I kept drinking them. I ...

Quiet night in Folkestone

Saturday we went on a bit of tour of Folkestone, just to remind us and our visitor Emma of some of the less salubrious joints in town. We were originally going to head into Hythe and get a curry, but Emma already had a dinner lined up, so decided to ...

Shirley Ghostman

Saw hhttp://www.shirleyghostman.com/ Shirley Ghostman in Soho on Monday evening, about 6pm. She looked a lot like Marc Wootton who is in BBC's current very gentle comedy Thin Ice....

dave rowntree

looking pretty happy

It's delivering time...

Our new bookcases from John Lewis are on their way at last! These were wedding presents (well bought with vouchers we got as wedding gifts), and we're fast approaching our half year anniversary. So, they're being delivered at last on Thursday, then w...

Alex Zane

i spotted him on Friday night in soho at about midnight, he was very drunk and shouting a lot.

Nick Beggs

I think it was him anyway. Was in The Player bar in Soho last night for a popbitch shindig, and I was led to believe his band would be playing, and it could well have been him. So I'm having that!

Clubbing in the week

Oof, not feeling too clever today, went to the popbitch party yesterday at The Player in Soho (ooh, google maps has new features). Went for a couple of drinks in The Blue Posts right across the road before it too. That's the kind of thing I miss abou...

More San Francisco tips

first of all, are you staying at the W Hotel? If not, it is next to Moscone and the bar in there called XYZ is really great - and the hotel a nice place if you can stay there. Around the downtown area, for lunch especially an SF tradition is Tadich's...

Mildreds

Went to Mildreds last night, a vegetarian cafe restaurant thing, in Soho. And it was ace! So nice to go somewhere with more than one vege option (everything was available as at least a vegan option) and where the portions suit a greedy guts like me! ...

David Walliams

Went to Mildreds vegetarian cafe last night (very good), and David Walliams was talking to a smaller bearded fellow. The guy with the beard talked a bit like David Schneider's character in Alan Partidge, which made me think it was about work. Maybe W...

At The Eye?

Eddie Izzard

He was eating in the resturant of Soho house last night...

James Dean Bradfield

Last night, he was in Soho house drinking with 3 friends. He didn't look very fat, but then i only saw him say down

Old Street Art Pranks

Saw a wacky situationist prank at Old Street this morning, a breakfast table set up on top of a bus shelter, with bowls, cups, plates, milk jugs, the lot. Snapped a pic but can't get it off my phone until I get home. It's got a mention in London By L...

Too... many... links...

Lots of things I want to mention before I get bogged down in work and trying to leave early. Smooth journey in today, did some bluetoothing on the bus in, nothing sinister though, just getting the pictures off my phone on to my pocket pc. Hoping to u...

End of an era

Now we've moved to Farringdon Road, I don't think there's any good reason for me to get the 106 again. So I'll say goodbye to it, I think the service must have improved in the 18 months I've been getting it, since I doubt I've got easier to please in...

Another boiler!

Lots of things I could do today, but it's hot again in the office, and I feel that's going to be a distraction... got to feed popex with chart info, this is normally a task for monday, but the ongoing problems have slowed me down a lot... nice to com...

Irvine Welsh

Friday 28th May 2003, ABSOLUTELY hammered. He was at the bar drunkenly bellowing Donna Summer's 'I Feel Love' (it wasn't on the jukebox or anything either). He then lurched off down the street supported by two friends. And he was wearing this shirt ...

Feeling so tired I got me a headache

Had a proper night of booze last night, haven't been out in the week for ages. Saw MJ Hibbett at Soho's own 12 Bar club last night, and the place was rammed - WITH GIRLS??? Is this the power of the pop video? If they were expecting a stage show of fl...

Brilliant Hibbett gig last night

Richard Herring

I couldn't actually see him from where I was sat, but I am assured he was in the Pillars of Hercules when we were last night. I am rushing to post this so as to beat the two friends who will also be heading here to post this spotting, though neither ...

MJ Hibbett gig this Thursday

Fresh from the exciting news that he's to be Steve Lamacq's Euro 2004 correspondent, MJ Hibbett blesses London town with another live appearance. He'll be bringing his guitar and clutch of modern epics to the 12 Bar, Denmark Street, Soho. You also ge...
