Sh*tty Poetry

On Thursday I went to a pre-fringe comedy show at The Montpelier pub in Peckham.  It's called 'Bucket' featuring Ed Eales-White and Jon Pointing.  I didn't really know what to expect but it was brilliant - lots of mini sketches that really nailed the characters and had you believing in them.  I think my favourite was their political sketch which consisted of David Cameron's legs and George Osbourne's arms.  I won't explain further as it'll ruin it for you and it's a 'had to be there moment'.   if you happen to be in any of the following locations (or even Edinburgh for the Fringe) then I highly recommend a viewing. Plus they hand out sweets. June 25th. 10-15mins. The Jest and Guests. Camden Comedy Club, Camden Head. Tickets on the Door.  July 4th. (FULL SHOW) The Harrison Pub, Kings Cross. Time & Tickets TBC. July 6th. (FULL SHOW) Aces & Eights. Tufnell Park.  Double bill with That Pair!  July 17th-19th. Fri - Sun. Lamer Tree Festiv

I have exciting news!!! This blog post is written on my new laptop.  I got fed up with waiting an hour for my old one to load up anything and bit the bullet and bought a touch screen Dell. So far I am very pleased with it but the mouse is a bit shit, so I am grateful for the touchscreen!  I managed to turn the mousepad off when playing with the settings and spent half an hour researching how to turn it back on without a mouse, before remembering it was touchscreen and all I had to do was press the screen button....doh! Anyways me and Sepha just got back from brilliant weekend away in Bucharest. Our trip began with a refreshing 4.30am walk from Clapham to Victoria.  A coach, a plane and a bus later and we arrived bright eyed and bushy tailed, eager to find our hostel. We were staying at Antique Hostel which I highly recommend - it's a really great location in Old Town, the rooms are beautiful and the staff are lovely.  Unfortunately the other dorm rooms were booked out by a bunc

Last weekend we (me, Liz and Bex) went on a mini road trip to visit Hazel and Jen in Bristol.  (I did see if my brother wanted to meet up too but he didn't. Sigh.) As much as I love London, I also LOVE getting out of it, and a weekend away is bliss.  I managed to coerce everyone to meet at Cheddar Gorge as I've never been and have always wanted to go.  I would have loved to go in the caves but a Duke of Knobland owns half of the Gorge and has turned it into a tourist attraction where you have to pay £18.95 if you want to look in caves, do a walk round it and get a bus tour of the Gorge.  APparently visitor numbers have dropped (probably because the tickets are so expensive) and to get visitor numbers back up they want to build a cable car to the top of the Gorge.  Fingers crossed planning permission won't be approved.  The National Trust on the other hand (I bloody love the National Trust) have a small information centre and gift shop (which is filled with some
