ComEnts

In a breathtaking display of independent thinking, I did not go to Reading fest this year but I did manage to go to the Notting Hill carnival on Sunday which provided a lot of entertainment and a fair bit of walking - but was totally worth it. I lost my phone on Friday night, and the phone people didn't connect my new one (blagged like a champion as an upgrade on Sat afternoon) until Tuesday, so I basically jumped on a train up to London with my mates number scribbled onto a napkin. Once I got caught up with the million of other people who were in attendance, I realised that I had little or no chance of meeting up with anyone. Lucky for me there was a phone box that hadn't been vandalised, and so after getting hopelessly lost for half an hour I did finally manage to meet up with my friends in a bar called "Beach Babylon" which was great. Really fit women all over the place, great music, loads of cocktails, wicked carnival atmosphere. Wandered around, went to a few other places, had a good laugh all night.

I'd heard a lot about the muggings and incidents at the carnival but I have to say that we never felt anything other than a party atmosphere in any of the areas we went to, everyone was really friendly and up for a laugh. It was cool.

Wish I'd seen 38 Pence get bottled off stage though.

That is all.
