Non Music Update
So a busy gig schedule has kept me entertained with the football season ending. I have also been to a couple of the 20-20 international games at the Oval. The Australia New Zealand warm-up was worth the £20.00 on the door as it went to the final over and in all probability was Andrew Symonds last international appearence. I also went on Monday for what was effectively the quarter final. England posted a good total but then it rained and the West Indies were always going to do it after the Duckworth Lewis deduction.
Was introduced to a very nice pub below Vauxhall Bridge on the south side of the river near the Oval. Called the Riverside it's a Youngs pub like the Boathouse in Putney. Nice outside area with a great view of Battersea Power Station. Being Youngs it is pricey mind you (more here for a pint than in the Oval).
More local, had my first trip to the recently refurbished Angel at the bottom of Sutton, this lunchtime. Nicely refurbished but always going to suffer due the local clientiele. Interstingly another pub to add to the list of pubs with arabian channels that may show Saturday football as they were showing a compilation of this seasons Premiership goals whilst I was in there.
Need to get myself sorted out soon with a CV and 24 hour access to the net. Only six weeks now till I become a government statistic, which though willing to be for short time is not ideal.
Still plenty of stuff to look forward to including my first experiance of Japanese girl band Shonen Knife, Oasis Kasabian and the Rev at the stadium, Thunder (possibly for the final time) up in Cambridge and the return of Le God, this time as Saints chairman. Will he bring a geordie mesiah in tow? Not sure about that one but things could be looking up for once!
