Bank Holday weekend-tastic

What a tip top weekend; and a bank holiday one at that. Ironic then that everyone I know who works in banking was working... Anyway NY buddy Alex (cousin of Sharon Freedman - not Eben) came over from Helsinki where he's working. He's also a mutual friend of my roommate Chris. Which I'm sure most of don't give two shits about so I'll continue...

Since I can't remember what the fuck we did on Friday or Saturday I'll start with Sunday at Clapham Common for the Get loaded in the park '05. The top billing included the Happy Mondays, The Farm, Fatboy Slim and Flowered up. They really should have called it old farts in the park. It was fun but I'm battling with myself not to take the piss. I mean I remember seeing Flowered up at Reading in 1991, pre-fat and balding. And as for Shaun Ryder of the Happy Mondays, blimey I think he thought it was Tuesday. Disturbingly amusing. But it was a fun day and the evening finished off well with new friends Brendan & Vincent et al at this Polish place near the Tube station where Chris skillfully (if not forcibly) manage to get the cute waitress's number. She made the Chocolate cake we ate which made Chris want go to 'her' thighs. Well done fella, I'm sure you and her boyfriend will laugh over it one day.

And today was the infamous Notting Hill Carnival, which is known as one of the biggest street festival in Europe - and most Balkan states as good training for urban warfare. But regardless we decided to leave the flak jackets at home as it was crazy hot. Had a really good time and I made it home safe, although I gave my number to this girl on the Tube which might prove dodgy as she was English.
