Weekend round-up: football and marmalade makers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday started early with a mad dash into town to grab a quick coffee and a cake at the Photographer’s Gallery before hurtling around Tottenham Court Road with Em who was looking to buy a new laptop. Electronics fatigue soon set in, so she left clutching a handful of leaflets instead.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then it was a train dahn sarf<\/em> to The Ship boozer by Norwood Junction to meet up with the 1927 lads<\/a> before watching the mighty Cardiff City play at Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The game was alright, but what the fuck was all that bollocks going on at half time?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some ludicrous “kick a ball into a shed to win a kitchen” competition (what?!) and a bunch of the lamest, US-wannabe cheerleaders doing the worst dancing I’ve ever seen.<\/p>\n

Hello? This is the UK, not some fucking awful American football bullshit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And they even did that really, really pathetic “let’s play a burst of music when we score” shite. Awful.<\/p>\n

But I liked the ground. I liked the fact that we didn’t get hassled for standing up (once again, the entire Cardiff City crowd stood for the whole game) and the view was good too.<\/p>\n

The game was tight. We had what appeared to be a perfectly good goal disallowed and Palace had a player sent off in mysterious circumstances.<\/p>\n

Wasn’t too impressed with the Palace part-time singing though. But it was still better than the Highbury Library.<\/p>\n

A cunning combination of trains quickly got us to the 1927 club’s 15th anniversary bash at the The Grouse & Claret in upmarket Belgravia (we soon lowered the tone) where many beers were sunk and I won a signed Cardiff City football in the lotto! Woohoo!<\/p>\n

The evening wrapped up in the trusty Albert.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The next day, the sound of mass scraping, shredding and pan bashing told me that the urban75 craft club<\/a> were in town, brewing up some delicious home made marmalade downstairs.<\/p>\n

The weekend over, I’ve got to start sorting out the next few Offline <\/a>nights, one this Friday at Birkbeck University and then a new night at the Brixton JAMM on the 23rd. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
