75th pub reached 2007
After a scrappy 1-0 win for Saints at home to Ipswich on Saturday, I headed towards Hammersmith and saw a band called The Vesuvius Club in the upstairs at Edwards. Fortunately skool disco has moved from the palais so there weren’t mobs of people dressed up as kids around. The band were pretty good, in the classic rock tone. Gravely voice, reminiscent of Stiltskin and Pearl Jam, they did about thirty minutes of guitar based rock. May check them out again towards the end of the year. Managed to reach the 75th pub of the year too by having a quick one in Wimbledon’s Prince Of Wales before getting the last First Connect service back to Sutton. Still way way behind my totals of the last three years.
Sunday went to O’Neills (Sutton) for the Carling Cup final. Managed to get a stool by a ledge in front of the screen and have to tip my hat to two barmen who provided table service for everyone in there (it was fairly packed) with no mark up on the drinks. The cup final itself was hugely entertaining. Note to Wenger, put Theo up front and central and he’ll score goals like that all the time! The punch up made the game and Adebayors reaction to being sent off was hilarious and thoroughly deserves a lengthy ban. I was left cursing though when Shevshenko hit the bar in the 93rd minute as I had a bet on Chelsea to win 3-1 which would have paid eighteen quid.
The evening I spent at home, watching Bridget Jones Diary on channel four for the first time. Absolute garbage! Apparently women like things like this as in reminds them of real life. Therefore I deduce that women need to get out more!
Finally got round to watching the Japanese original of The Ring 2 on Monday. Just as good as the first one. Not exactly horror but more supernatural thriller. There is apparently a third called Ring 0. Not sure whether the Beatles drummer is in it or not but I may have to track down the DVD.
