I wouldn’t normally consider a trip to Hull a week before Christmas but there was no way that I was going to miss my Grandma’s 80th birthday disco, sharing with Maria Sharapova, Pete Tong’s wife and the local bakery (according to the table line-up). Oh and some nurses. There is lots of enlightenment, as usual, to provide to my dear readers. Firstly I would like to prepare you for the step back in time that I took, with the train from Doncaster. Sadly too dark by this time to take photos from the train journey, but I do have one of … Continued

I have not been blogging as much as normal recently. But I have been really enjoying life. I am in a super mood. Why? Well Ricardo at fabric and Sven at Cocoon the last two weekends are major contributors. I might be in my 30’s but no way I am anywhere near clubbing retirement, I could even see myself going more next year! This weekend looks good, gravy tonight. What more does a boy need? And tomorrow night I am going to The Star Inn near Twyford for my good friend, Ben’s, birthday drinks, and onto From Disco To Disco. … Continued
I bought my ticket in June for this. I like to be prepared. A mini-disaster nearly struck during the week when my wonderful clubbing partner announced that she would not be able to make it however I had bought my ticket so long ago that there was no pulling out for me. I didn’t want to go by myself but I was up for the adventure. A slight side-track perhaps but beforehand I went to an all you can eat buffet place for dinner, and had lots of gravy. Yes, even on dessert. You can … Continued
To have a truly awesome night out, it takes more than just one’s favourite nightclub, favourite international DJ and favourite resident DJ. There has to be the initial idea, finding a dancing partner, the week-long build-up of excitement, the over-excitement leading to an accidentally messy night a day or two beforehand, something of a mission to get there/get in, interactions with randoms, the odd hot chick on the dancefloor always helps, the beautiful distress of the journey home, the Sunday afters, a big smile on the Monday along with a caffeine overdose, oh and a review on the blog. Ricardo … Continued
It is well known that I get very excited with extreme weather, I love downpours, damaging winds, disruptive snowfall, etc. I think one could be (wrongly) accused of being heartless as said exciting weather causes great disruption, sometimes destruction to people’s houses and businesses, and now and again loss of life. But one of the main reasons I do my spot of weather forecasting and run my Facebook page is I want the people that I care about (which isn’t just people I know) to have as much information as possible as to what the upcoming weather may be so … Continued
I think it is about time someone argued the positive side to being part of the European Union, in light of the budget negotiations that failed to do anything except increase the sales of £120 bottles of wine which should help the economy of the country said wine was bought from. 1. One of the biggest parts of the European Union is the Common Agricultural Policy which gives money to landowners like the Queen, and the Queen is very nice so she deserves the extra £7m she received over the last decade which hopefully paid for that concert outside … Continued
It’s that time of year to vote for your favourite DJs (I assume that my readers are cool enough to ignore the bullshit poll from the crap magazine). To vote, you had to be a member before 20th November and only have until midnight on Thursday 22nd November to vote. I approve of this short time to vote, to reduce the time for ‘campaigns’. And you can only vote for someone that you are on the rollcall for from an event. It should provide an accurate as picture as possible as to the most popular DJs in the underground. My votes as follows: 1. Ricardo … Continued
I like voting. Yes, I actually enjoy the process of voting and feeling that I am part of the democracy that we have that many billions of people across the world do not have. I have to say that this government policy is not one I am especially convinced about, in fact I would have to say that I am sketpical about it. However I do not know much about policing strategy and am willing to give it a chance. I have had a quick look at the candidates for the local area, Thames Valley. I have to say that … Continued
Firstly if I were American, I would emigrate to somewhere with more freedom. Actually I would have guns. Lots of them. Because I would have moved to Texas to be a wannabe professional storm-chaser and would shoot my guns in celebration every time I saw a twister touch down. Yeeha – boom. Another tree ripped up. Halleluyah. However I am not American, so thoughts must turn on who to vote for president and also hopefully influence all 2,391 previous American visitors to my blog to vote for the right man today, because apparently it is that close that even the … Continued
With all this extra cupboard space in my new house, I realised that I could also hang my jumpers up. If only I had some extra coat hangers… But look what I found in Primark tonight: Nominations for Most Stylish Man of 2012 accepted.
