Siw over for a few days

Siv's cousin Siw is staying with us for a few days. On the Saturday evening we decided to have an Xmas dinner with all the trimmings.

On Sunday, we headed up town to see the Christmas lights in Covent Garden, Carnaby Street and to see the Trafalgar Square tree, donated by the people of Norway.

The Golden Age

I finally got round to scaning in a lot of my old TSB, Chase and IBIS drawings, and have now uploaded them to the online albums. I can't even remember what some of the jokes were about!!

Chase reunion drink up

Met some of the old Chase crowd at The Lamb and Flag. Sadly a few people couldn't make it due to work commitments. Here's Alan and Murray at the bar...."Alan Moore knows the score!"

Girlie day out






Siv met a lot of the girlies up town for a general pre-Xmas get together, starting at The Crusting Pipe, and then onto The Marquess of Anglesey. Sadly Sarah couldn't make it as she was a bit poorly, but there was a 'virtual Katy' there! Trood and Woodsy had impressively made the journey down....everyone seemed to have a good time!

May Britt and Synnøve's visit

May Britt and Synnøve came over to see us for a few days....All photos HERE

On Friday night we had a pizza in The Soho Pizzeria....

Before a walk along Carnaby Street....

And through Seven Dials...

Before stopping off for a pint in The Angel, before heading home.

On Saturday, we took a trip up onto Primrose Hill....

Before having a walk along the Regents Canal, past London Zoo, and stopping for an excellent late lunch in Cafe La Ville.

On Sunday, the girls headed into Ilford for some shopping, stopping for a photo opportunity outside Santa's grotto.

Here's us having a final meal together on the Sunday night before they travel home.

New pics of Anna Elizabeth

Got some photos through from Jeanine of Anna Elizabeth....I can't believe they've allowed her to wear pink instead of Eagles green!

Never mind your knees, here's the Sex Pistols


I went with Gerkin, Ironbeard and John to see The Sex Pistols at the Brixton Academy. The support band The Cribs were the support, and got a pretty good reception. In between The Cribs and The Pistols, bizarrely was DJ Goldie doing a mini set, but to be fair he was never going to be that popular!

When The Pistols came on Gerkin, Ironbeard and myself went down the front to the mosh pit for one or two songs to get the atmosphere.....and ended up staying there for the whole gig! It was pretty manic, but very good natured....and very sweaty as you can see from some of the photos!

The photos and videos were taken on a Casio S3 camera, so not very high tech, but it seems to have captured the spirit of the night in true punk fashion (heh heh!), even if most were taken by just sticking the camera up in the air and hoping for the best! As various reports have said, The Pistols themselves were far better than most people were expecting, and everyone had an absolute blast! All photos HERE

Not sure if Len's laughing or is in pain here!


Sometimes one dessert isn't enough!

Another Sunday, another West Ham game on Sky!

Went to West Ham to see them play Bolton....not the greatest game, but Bolton were probably worth the draw.
The away support was less than impressive...but it didn't affect Bolton's work rate!

Ford's firework display

Siv and I used our free tickets to go to the Ford's Sports and Social Club firework display for Guy Fawkes night (which should officially be on the 5th). It was pretty good...though the results from my phone's camera doesn't really do them justice!
