Archigram-Carnival
Being a house obsessive means records are constantly jostling in your memory to be the ones which remind you of great nights out. There must be about 100 I absolutely love, and 100 more I dance to and enjoy. It’s always diffi[…]

City were on the Telly. It’s a rare thing that my lot get shown live on the box (it’s happened I think five times ever) and it’s not something most Exeter fans relish. We have a proud tradition of failing to impress when the live TV[…]

The entire pub experience remains a bit of a mystery to me so I’m allowed to ask #1: re The Lamb in Lamb’s Conduit Street (and any other pubs this applies to).

SOAP BUBBLES. Why? Why they make them is obvious – a chance to see your ‘favourite’ characters up to their antics out of context. So we get Bianca Butcher nee Jackson getting Rickay entangled with drug lords in Manchester. The Holly[…]

Not Another Fucking Landscape.
I have been working nights in a gas station, namely Petro-Canada, which used to be public, but is now owned 72 per cent privately. They push the Canadian identity thing pretty far, with a red and white colour scheme; s[…]

There is very little to be said about the film Underworld that isn’t said on this ILE thread. A high in concept low in thought rip-off of Blade 2, it consists mainly of Kate Beckinsale proving that she has her fathers gift for comedy. Pity this[…]

The Royal Oak and Simply Indian, Borough
