Chilled one for me....still recovering!
Fri - Had a team building day with work...went to paint a school in Peckham on the estate where Damilola Taylor got murdered. Was pretty gritty and felt quite sad....70% of children in the primary school have English as a second language and 56% of pupils are classed as special needs!....walking around and seeing abandoned blocks of flats etc made it clear how little chance these kids have!....went for a few drinks in London Bridge after and then to a mates house party briefly
Sat - Chilled out. One of my best mates just had a Hernia Op so went round to his to cheer him up, although I wasnt allowed to make him laugh due to his massive scar. Played some pro-evolution and ate!
Sun - Went into town to do some flat hunting with pal...lookin to buy a place
...growing up!...so expensive!.....then went to watch James Bond in the eve with some school mates....enjoyed!

Heavy drinking in 3 cities for me this weekend 
Friday - Pre-opening party for a new club called 1171. Great venue. Good tunes. Very strong rum and cokes.
Then to club Mio for Francois K. Great tunes. Very strong free rum and cokes from some random people we met.
Saturday - Slept 4 hours before going to airport (overslept by an hour and kept my driver waiting
). Pain. Dragged myself onto airplane to pass out. Flew to London and, thanks to horrendous traffic, barely made it to Chelsea v West Ham game. Lackluster affair, but 3 pts in the bag.
After-match drinks at a Chelsea bar with friends turned into a boozy dinner at some Japanese place north of Soho. Stumbling out onto the street (literally), decided to go to Ministry of Sound for Xpress 2 but then realized I wasn't going to last very long (excessive booze, jetlag) and changed direction halfway there.
Sunday - Had found out Friday that my brother was visiting from the States, in Newcastle on business. Hadn't seen him in almost 2 years so decided to take the train up north. Was reminded how crappy the UK train system is (delays, insane ticket prices, no seats, etc.).
Great afternoon/night out in Newcastle.
First we walked around and looked at stuff (city walls, churches, the castle) then hit the pub for a roast dinner and some football, then another pub, then some cheesy nightclub (Sam Jack's), another cheesy nightclub (Boom), then a Hed Kandi party at another nightclub (Beyond). We tried to go to Digital but it was closed, so we closed out the evening in a club called the Loft.
Caught the 4:20 train back to London and had a very rough day at work on Monday.
