Changing the colour scheme is going to be a bit more tricky than I thought… I may give up. But for now I shall brighten the page up with this…

Today was the day of the Crawley Carnival, one of the big days in the civic calendar, but Jayne and the kids had to go on their own because it was the champions league play-off final, and West Ham’s chance to get back up to the premiership. After last year’s disappointment I had tried to […]

Spizzenergi again
May 30th, 2005 · Comments Off on Spizzenergi again · Music
I have just got back from a night out in London to see Spizzenergi at the 100 club again. This time I went with my fellow Labour blogger from Crawley, danivon. He had never seen Spizz live before, and seemed to enjoy it well enough.
How times change

When you think about the number of songs and artist who have been banned from the radio, television and even record shops for supposedly obscene lyrics – often just the liberal use of swear words in punk songs – its a bit of a surprise to see how far we have come now. On tonight’s […]

May 27th, 2005 · Comments Off on World music at the Hawth · Music
On Sunday June 5th the Doudou Cissoko Trio will be playing at the Hawth theatre. I probably won’t go because I saw him play a month or so back at the Royal Festival Hall for free, and don’t really feel the need to spend eight and a half quid seeing him again so soon. Having […]

Broadfield Forum
May 24th, 2005 · Comments Off on Broadfield Forum · Politics
I went to a meeting tonight of the rather grandly-named Broadfield Forum. The forum is an attempt to rescue something constructive from a failed community engagement initiative. Originally there was a plan to split Broadfield into a number of smaller areas and for each area to have a group of interested citizens who would form […]
Eurovision
May 24th, 2005 · Comments Off on Eurovision · Music
I know its incredibly naff, as camp as Christmas, and with a voting procedure that makes a Birmingham council all-postal vote by-election look fair, but its real ‘car-crash’ television and if you just catch a glimpse you are drawn in. Or is that just me? Anyway, I think Moldova were robbed. Forget about the gimmick […]

I have been trying to get artistic with my new freeware photo editing software. Its not easy for me – I really do have no artistic talent at all. Maybe I will improve with practice? he first fruits of this endevour are a bit of a tweak to the photo on my profile (must take […]
