Yule-tastic Frenzied Festive Feast o’Fun<\/strong><\/p>\n

Things have been a little alcohol-tastic of late, so apologies for the delay in updating this blog.<\/p>\n

Last Thursday I gatecrashed the urban75 Bookgroup’s Christmas Curry in the fabulous Khan’s Indian Restaurant in Brixton Water Lane. Needless to say, alcohol flowed. Liberally.<\/p>\n

The next night there was the little matter of a small party around the flat to drink my way through, followed by a bumper Stella-imbibing session on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

The evening started at the Windmill for the excellent People’s Republic of Disco<\/a> – jam packed with Urbanites – and then finished up at my old mate Paul’s Blow-Up Club<\/a> at The Metro Club in Oxford Street. Strutting their stuff to a somewhat beered up crowd of laaaads were the Actionettes<\/a> who put in a fine show, with the hip shaking Action Men adding to a great performance. My shiny new chunky Sony 717 camera was recording the action and managed to avoid being drenched by a dribbling drunken oaf who waffled on in my ear when I was taking photos by the stage. Expect some pic updates soon!<\/p>\n

In-between all this industrial scale alcohol consumption, I’ve been adding loads of new images to my Brixton: Then and Now<\/a> series, which is rapidly turning into something of an obsession – there’s over 95 sets of photos in there!<\/p>\n

Right, that’s it for now. I’ve just come back from the Albert and in my slightly confused state managed to score 109 on the BBC’s interactive IQ test<\/a>. I’m sure I would have got a much higher score if I wasn’t so tired.<\/p>\n

Possibly.<\/p>\n

Maybe…..<\/p>\n
