Q Which is the least organised gym in London?
A Camberwell Leisure Centre

Yes - for possibly the fourth time in less than six months we have been double booked for badminton. This gives me one hour less than planned to sober up. Tea, stat.

Picture the scene: Tony Blair is sat in his office wondering, of all things, where his wife was last night. And where was she? At the Lyric Theatre in the company of another man (and her ginger daughter) - that's where! Seat #F13. For a showing of Festen. I only know this because I was sat right behind her for the whole performance (her barnet ( Read more... )

It may not be the warm, inviting, cosy home that is Foxley, but its good to be back in London. Well, it's good to be back at customradar - Rob's house has a broken boiler and is therefore COLD. I got to do my usual Christmas things over the last few days, which include the old eating and drinking too much, spending proper time with the family and ( Read more... )

ILLNESS HAS FORCED US TO CANCEL TWO GIGS: SUNDAY 12 AND MONDAY 13 DECEMBER.

I will moan because it has been over a month now and I haven’t had such prolonged illness since glandular fever. Fvckin glandular fever, I haven’t forgiven you yet ( Read more... )

Friendslist - It is lovely to read about your John Peel moments. It would feel stupid not to say how important Peel's show was to us.

John Peel - We salute you!

HOST

London, tick. Northampton, tick. Chelmsford, tick. Harlow, tick. Hmm, not the most impressive of touring CVs. Nevertheless, HOST's Harlow cherry has been popped and it felt good ( Read more... )

The Windmill was great for several reasons, not least of which was a kind friend kindly driving all the kit back to customradar so I didn't have to. As the only driver in HOST this was just the second time I have been able to drink properly after a gig. I grasped the opportunity/bottle with both hands and was rewarded with a headache and memories ( Read more... )
