» Miserable match, miserable result, miserable weather, miserable crowd. Heaven knows we truly are miserable now.

Now without a win for nine bloody games, only vast amounts of beer will convince me that City have a chance of reaching the Premiership this season.

Still, it's New Year's Eve, my Offline club is rocking the Albert tonight and at least City aren't playing dumps like this any more:

It's taken me an eternity, but I've finally got around to posting up the photos from the last day of our weekend walking holiday in the Peak District.

Despite the raging hangover, I managed to drag my ale-soaked arse half way up Caerphilly Mountain and across Graig Llanishen for a bracing walk in the freezing mist.


I'm really glad that I made the effort too as it was a lovely walk, trudging across deserted fields and dark forests.

Garth Mountain/ Mynydd Y Garth walk


On the 27th, we climbed the equally mist-drenched Garth Mountain, with the rain managing to hold off until the last minute.


The mountain has several ancient (4,000 years old!) burial mounds on the top and commands fantastic views all around (when it's not covered in mist, of course).

Just back from a lovely few days climbing mountains, scaling hills and scrambling through thorny bushes in and around Cardiff. south Wales.


Sadly, the mighty Cardiff City once again failed to make my Christmas complete, drawing to Plymouth at home, 2-2.


Great to be back standing on the old terraces though, and the crowd wasn't bad at 17,299, if a tad silenced by the freezing temperatures.

Loads more Cardiff photos coming soon!

Took a day trip down to the south coast yesterday and enjoyed walking around a delightfully deserted Brighton beach.

Sad to see the old West Pier continuing its decline.

Happy bloody Christmas, Brixton 2006


I've been out taking pictures around Brixton, and it has to be said there's not a lot of festive fare on offer.



See the dismal evidence here and see how things looked a whole lot better in Ye Olde Days (oh Gawd, I'm sounding like an old 'un here)

I've been sent some more old flyers from Brixton's much missed and hugely influential Cooltan Arts squat and the old 121 Centre
