Total Bollox!

Hello faithful readers,

Time once again to dust off your party socks and champagne glasses because its New Year once again! Yipee! (Although as I type this those of you in Auss - Matthew, I'm thinking of you! - have already had your fill, whereas lovely Europe and the Americas are yet to put on their glad rags. Oh what a miracle our turning globe is!)

I had a lovely Christmas, thanks for asking, and I was delighted to receive so many lovely messages (on facebook) wishing me a merry crimbo. And boo hiss to all you buggers who hate Xmas, I thought it was fab. Who can argue with the presents/food/good telly combo? Not me. Once again I thrilled at the DrWho Christmas special, enjoyed another disaster at the Queen Vic, and laughed a great deal at The Royale Family and Alan Carr doing standup. FAB!

I was presented with a lovely present from my friends Lee and Julia this year - it was a digi-box. Yes, faithful reader, I have been without digital TV so far and have not yet discovered the delights of multi-channel viewing. I'm still on VHS, 5 channels, and have an "if you miss it, you've missed it forever" mentality. Well, I have spent the last few days enjoying the delights of such entertainments as BBC3 and Channel Four +1. And my god, so much choice. So long as you like "Friends".

I'm quite taken with UK History TV though. I now know all about Cortes and the Aztecs, and Blackbeard the Pirate. Coolio.

Anyway, in between all this telly watching, some drinking and dancing has also featured, so here for your viewing pleasure, is pictoral evidence of a recent night out at Legends, at a clubnight known as "Bollox".

Here are the culprits - Mark (Sax and Piano with TMC), Lucy (Bassoon on "Goodnight"), her boyf Mikey, and me:

We were also out with Dario but he was in the toilet throwing up. Bless! And here am I with a pint of cider, with an unknown gay in the background. I know I look fed up but I was having a good time. Its just my moody face I was putting on.

...and these are the frilly knickers that festoon the walls, which, once the aforementioned cider has been consumed, can be placed upon ones person for comedic effect!

Lovely!

All the best for 2009.

EP and album on the way - stay tuned.

best,
Ben
