This year was wet, muddy, wet and crazy. Still good though. With the theme for fancy dress being 30 thousand freaks under the sea I was one of about 10 hilarious weirdo’s dressed as Steve Irwin but alas I lost my giant inflatable crocodile outside the redbull tent/swamp. This year they sold twice as many tickets as last year which was not matched with twice as many stages or attractions. The BBC stage stood out like a sore thumb and i cant help but think they tryed to maximise the prophets a little too much this year. I missed many acts I was hoping to see because the tents were simply too full, I had to steal glances at fellow bestivalites programmes to find out what was going on as I felt the pinch of 6 hard earned pounds on top of 140 for the ticket was too great.
What Bestival does still have is an amazing eclectic mish mash of music, dance, art, vibes and atmosphere. Next year I hope the fesivals fun and crazy roots will over shadow the evil of the accountants who are now counting all my cash!
Set in an unbelievable play park in the vallies of the Isle of White this thing is still so immense.

A good place if you enjoy vegetarian or vegan cuisine. A bad place if you enjoyed the old boozer that was in its place before. Ok it smelt of crap, was full of skum and it was a poo hole but it was our poo hole. It was damn cheap and it was right next to the bookies. Who cares if they didnt have halumi volovons, they had carlsberg for 2 pounds. That was well sweet. And not in the way that red pepper soup is sweet, in a far superior and generally more useful kind of way. Theres alot of mild alcoholics wandering around Muswell Hill looking a bit lost right now. I suppose this place is quite neat if your a vegetarian but the vegetarian option in my house is a swift exit. Bring back the well!

Flowers are nice, flowers do their job.
People are weird, people want control.
Flowers are pretty, flowers run their course
People think too much, people want the world.
Flowers live a life, flowers serve a purpose
People serve themselves, they search for a meaning.
Flowers feed the chain, people are insane.
Flowers dont want peace, they take what the wind blows
People want control, control versus nature.
Nature wants flowers. People want war.
Flowers are forever. People are today.
Flowers are pretty. Oh people.
I say

Hampstead Heath extension is a nice place to think.

Cream your pants in the new Porsche Clamidia. Such wanky female exploitational events should be followed by a grand two handed special wank known only as the Masterwank. Every shiney vehicle on display comes with promotional tarts from all over Londons nether regions. Better quality wank-bank paraphanalia than any top shelf in this great country. Even the programmes are being sold by scantily clad ladies from essex who want to flirt outrageously with you. But only so you give them 3 quid. For this you get an official motor show programme full of A-grade masterwank shiny vehicle foreplay material, a free goody bag involving deoderant (essential for sweaty perverts), a hat so uncool you wouldnt even use it to cover up your poor ginger childs head, an energy drink claiming to be 'just for men’ (Perhaps they should have also specified that this is a drink just for sad pathetic middle aged men with small penises and more money then sense. Amongst other things) Also included : crummy gift vouchers and a free novel. Yippee. There were many bins spewing this crap all over Canning town. Unfortunately I didn’t go to the motor show out of choice and I have no interest in cars, or callous shows of extreme wealth and general slaggery happenings. There were some lovely looking motors there though. I smoked a spliff on the way in and even then it was quite dull here. Corporate bull cheese. Remember, two hands. Enjoy.

No frills here just good old fry ups, burgers and general greasy essentials at essentially good prices. Friendly staff in nice blue surprisingly non greasy T-shirts and smart trousers. There’s a lot of pretencious and expensive cafe’s and eateries popping up in the area but this is an established down to earth right good propper local cafe enjoyed by people who need it. A hangover palace any day of the week and the cure is right tasty.

Open real late with some penny scrapingly good wholesome cheap pizza. Everything you’d expect of a local pizza take away place that isn’t Domino’s or pizza hut. Deals galore, ask cheekily and try get a little more for free no less. Take this number down if you live locally.

A very well kept park. This place has 11 park keepers. Mostly woodland with a large field, playground, cafe, cricket pitch and cricket nets. On a sunny day people of all ages wander round the pathway that circulates the woods, some jogging some with dogs but strictly no bicycles! Open whenever it’s light, you’ll see many cars parked outside on a Sunday. If you wander through the open woods there are many secluded spots with makeshift seating fashioned out of fallen trees can be a really nice place to escape from the concrete jungle with a good book and a flask of tea. Definately a good place to go for a relaxing walk after Sunday dinner and a very safe place due to the large number of staff who mostly live in the houses dotted around the park.

A great modern restaurant in well to do Highgate village offering a good value selection of oriental cuisine. You can choose from many different styles of noodle, rice, sauce and meat to concuct whatever meal you fancy from all available ingredients. Clean, fast and efficient service with excellent food is most probably the reason that this place is always busy. Upholds a nice quiet atmosphere to enjoy your meal nevertheless. Very good food.

This is a 24 hour snooker club just off Archway roundabout. Is very handy on the way back from a night out to kick back and relax over a couple of frames of snooker and carry on drinking for a little while. if you’re not a member don’t worry you can still play although it will cost you a little extra which is not that much anyway. Would reccommend drinking bottled beer here as the draught lager here can be a bit eggy. There are loads and loads of tables here and it’s usually pretty easy to find a quiet corner to shoot a couple of frames in. Has a slightly dodgy air about the place but what snooker hall doesn’t? I’ve never seen any trouble in here and go back frequently. 9 ball pool table and standard pub pool too.

I was almost best friends with the old owners here and was very sad when they recently had to sell their lease due to extortionate rent prices. The new owners seem like decent honest chaps though. They are very useful for beers, wines, fags, phone top ups and snacks although most things can be bought for cheaper and will be probably be a tad fresher dare i say at sainsburys across the road.
