Maybe it's just me but in recent months TF does not have the same appeal to me as it had for the first year. A lot of changes have happened here, and a lot of the people I used to chat with seem to be less active in the site. A few members have left and sadly a few have been taken from us. I am not saying this site is bad now it still is a great site and the only online community I have ever participated in, I just don't think it has the same energy it used too. Saying this I wont leave here,
My bar just got burgled A gang of youths broke in to my bar last night through the back door while we were cleaning up the downstairs bar.I heard them and gave chase, they dropped my record decks but managed to get away with a load of microphones a mixing desk and 2 bikes. Bastards.
The doctor has put me on a severe amount of Antibiotics a complete cocktail of three different types. Today is the second day and I have no energy at all and feel terrible, hopefully tomorrow I will feel better, I hope so as I have to DJ on both floors of my bar.
Went to the Doctors today because I have been a bit under the weather, its a continuing problem with my stomach, I went a few months ago and had a few tests and when I got the results they were negative, apparently nothing was wrong.When I went in today I was told the computers were not working correctly the day I had come in and not all the results had come back negative, I have a stomach infection called helicobacter pylori, this is a bacteria that can cause ulcers and stomach diseases includi
My weekend started Thursday with DJing Funk at my bar Friday had a classic soul night downstairs and a drum and bass night upstairs had to manage the bar and deal with some crazy fighting, Not fun.
Saturday I had to DJ with Yam Who, Great DJ he has put out some great tunes this year on his new label.Sunday Live Jazz at my place with me DJing in between sets and for the last 2 hours.Today I have to DJ with ManVsWife Jazz and funk DJ's with special guest Spirtual south plus it's a friends birt
Last night at my bar I had some guy turn up far to drunk to come in.When I would not let this guy in his friend started getting angry and decided to punch one of my customers who had nothing to do with the situation, he was simply coming in for a drink like he does every Friday.My security split the incident up immediately and the police who by chance happened to be in a car opposite were outside my bar in an instant. The man who was hit said he did not want to do anything about the situation as
Took the night off last night and popped round my friends for food. Had the best meal in a long time and listened to Pat Martino and Jimmy Smith on vinyl.Big fat steak, baked potato and sourcream with chives, served on an artichoke and tomato salad. The simple pleasures are always the best.
First full day off in a long time and what happens I wake up in the middle of the night with a fever. Now I feel terrible and cant enjoy my day off, my head hurts I am having hot and cold flushes and I have drank a ridiculous amount of water and just keep drifting in and out of sleep. Oh well at least the weathers **** today and I have had some good food and not been bothered to much from work..
I woke up with the hangover from hell and the first thing I heard on the radio was these lyrics Its a shame shame shame the way your messing with my heartIts a shame shame shame the way you hurt me This has now been going round in my head for 7 hours and wont go away. Any ideas how I can make it stop, tried reading listening to other music, reading, silence, everything
help please
I have not had much spare time on my hands to be on this site lately since I made a deal and became a partner of the bar I have been managing. The bar is called the Funky Munky and is very well known, about 5 years ago it was one of the best little venues in south London, but in the last few years has not had the same feel to it. That is why I was brought in to change it back again. Since my new deal I had to sack the other manager and in doing so took on a larger work load then I have had to p

Today I got a Personal Message from a complete stranger asking my opinion of my ex. I just thought this was a really stupid thing to do, what if I had broken up with her on bad terms, I could have painted a picture of her being some kind of monster or just made out she was a complete *****. Of course I did not do this but instead pointed out that he should make his own judgments not ask my opinion it could be biased, the one thing I did say was that we are still friends.
It finally all happened yesterday. I started my job back in November, initially just to deal with booking bands and DJ's.I had only been there a little while when I noticed that a lot more was wrong than I initially thought.I started taking a more active role in the business and tried very hard to fix all these problems, all the time I kept on coming up against one major problem my Manager. This guy is a spoiled kid who has never known any discipline, he thinks he is far superior to everyone an
I had a dream yesterday. I do not usually remember them so vividly but this was an odd one. In my dream my other manger at work was standing in front of a fridge, I needed to get something from the fridge and he would not move, he then looked at me in a manner that he does quite often that can only be described as smug and arrogant. When he done this I could not control my anger anymore and hit him once with the back of my hand across his face, the force of which knocked him to the floor and he
Been here a while now, I know many people and feel that my friends do not need to vote for me, I already know they are my friends so I took my vote button away. But I am still getting votes!!!!So whats going on.
Due to Kai's stupid comment about me using the "You wouldn't hit a man with glasses" line I decided we should sort out our differences like men and offered him to a men's fighting club to sort it out once and for all... This time Marty was not here to save his bullying ass. The following scene contains violence and the quick demise of the evil Kobra Kai. You have been warned.
I Have been a bit busy lately helping to organize an event called Camberwell Live. If any London TFers are interested the event is next Sunday and is part of Camberwell arts week. This is the first year I have been involved and has been lots of work but also lot's of fun.The after party will be at my bar with a seven piece jazz band playing film scores. It should be fun so if in London come along it's free so you got no excuse and this event is also to promote a good cause. All acts are listed
Another crazy night in LondonWas DJing early till 10 so started drinking at 5, then London Marty turned up for a beer so we popped off for a beer up the road when I finished. Some crazy blond girl headed straight for me and started chatting me up, soon after Marty decided to head home and I was stuck with this girl who I could not get rid of, she was ok nice looking but not my type so I really wasn't interested. Then to make things worse her mouthy friend comes over and starts to bother me also.
I have not been around for the last few days. I had a well deserved break away form London and visited some friends on the coast. No hassles or pressure just good food conversation and music. Now I am feeling better, ready to get back to work with a fresh brain ad more active approach.It's amazing what a difference just a few days can make.
I am taking a well deserved break from work for a few days and traveling to see some friends and family in brighton. 3 whole days off. Longest time away since I got back from BKK last time. Wednesday will be five years since the untimely passing of my father so I do not want to be at work and under stress for that day, I will be going to see some friends I have known for most of my life to chill out and relax. Good friends are around for life. I am grateful to have friends like these, always ar
Yesterday morning a package arrived for me from the USA, I opened it to find several beautifully wrapped gifts from my stepmother who lives in Texas. She found me on myspace on Christmas day after leaving my father 20 years ago. My father died 5 yrs ago so I thought we would never have any contact ever again. Among these gifts was a copy of her latest CD, a signed copy of the book that she and her husband Bobby have been credited on as the main source of research titled "Layla and other assorted
Yesterday I visited my sister and her 2 little girls. I had not had a chance to see them for a few years and the girls have grown up so much.Now 13 and 8 they have both developed strong, cheeky personalities and I spent most of my time answering random question after question but I did enjoy it, they had me laughing more than I had done in years. Got no pics because they are both a bit camera shy, but maybe next time.
Looking forward to meeting all you guys from TF I have a well deserved day off today so lets all have a good bit of fun.Meeting Marty at the train and heading down with him see ya guys and gals soon
