For those of you in or around Croy'n there's a beery geeky pub-meet going on at the Dog & Bull which I'll be at. Ostensibly a meeting of Croyden.PM (sic) it will involve some of the usual London.PM suspects plus other randoms.

If you like beer and don't mind the company of geeks, please come along. :)

Details, here and here

I imagine I'll be there from 1800 or so.

Following up my previous post my band Nothing Gained will be playing a gig next Tuesday. We've finally gotten a flyer together, so if you want to come along print it out and you'll save a quid! :)

( flyer )

Combined with my special beer-rebate offer, stated previously, it's almost like you're getting in free. So come one, come all, see us make arses of ourselves, you know you want to. :)

Just a quick one to let y'all know that me and one of my bands, Nothing Gained (no website right now due to slight wranglings with expired hosting *ahem*), will be playing a gig at the Bull and Gate, Kentish Town on Tuesday 16th August. I'm told we'll be on stage sometime after 8pm, but the pub part of the venue is open all day, and doors to the venue itself open at 7pm so feel free to come whenever you like (we'll be there soundchecking and the like from 5:30pm or so).

We play our own material, falling broadly into what could be described as modern metal, and this is my first gig as vocalist for the band. T'would be great if you could come down. :) I'll post a flyer here once we have it finalised which should get you a discount on the door. I'll even buy you a brew to offset the ticket cost. :) Would be great to see you there.

Hello friends. Long time no post, eh? No real content here, no surprise at that, but a couple of things:

Firstly, gosh darn it those Damned Yanks really can make some fantastic beer. Sainsbury's had some offer on related to the International Beer Competition and I picked up a selection of brews from Rogue. This evening I am sampling Younger's Special Bitter, somewhat hoppier than the traditional English bitter it claims to be but extremely tasty for it. I look forward to the other purchases I have made.

Secondly, easterbunny and I are planning on making complete fools of ourselves and also walk miles and miles and miles for charidee. Namely, the Moonwalk! See my good lady's post for more details and an easy method to giz cash in a good cause. Clicky, clicky.

Oh, and I got my application in for this at lunch too. :)

Thankyou for listening, we shall now resume our normal silence service.
