All roads lead to Kevin Hart
So I scored a free ticket for tonight’s Kevin Hart. Yes I know it’s greedy of me as I saw him last year but my friend’s wife turned up for the weekend and ….yep, he chose sex over laughing about sex. Wise man. Let’s be clear I’ve sort of stopped going to see American comedians […]
Leonard Cohen leaving
Leonard Cohen Last night I went to the Leonard Cohen concert. I’ve always been aware of his music but I wouldn’t say that I’m his biggest fan. But it was a free ticket and I’m nothing if not a fan of a freebie so I went. Yes recession concert going. When I arrived I saw […]
Carnival Criminals
I’ve noticed a few people post a photo of the pregnant bikini clad woman at carnival. Apparently to some this was a sign of bad motherhood. I can’t see how but then I suspect most wanted her to stay at home or dress up more. See the image for suggestions. I would like to take […]
No Carnival for me
Every year I get invited to Notting Hill Carnival and every year I refuse. I don’t like it and I resent the fact that for some reason I’m supposed to like it just because it is the biggest event in London’s black social calendar.

The Inaugural ACCBE experience
The Inaugural ACCBE experience So here is the thing with conferences that claim to be for Africans and Caribbeans. It quite often doesn’t please everybody. Some Caribbeans felt that it was too African despite the programme reflecting otherwise. I thought we were all meant to be African but I guess not. I have my own […]
African Fashion Week London part 1
African Fashion Week London part 1 I have found my write up from last year. Let’s hope this year is amazing. I’m already doubtful as they have failed to respond to emails. This doesn’t bode well but, resources…. Enjoy! Surprisingly for all who attended this was the FIRST African Fashion Week in London. Held at […]
It’s a group thang!
Facebook groups. Gone are the days when we used to have to find dodgy chat rooms commandeered by some unemployed nutter. No, now we have legitimised chatrooms with groups that appear to be there to talk about socio-political issues. Don’t get me wrong. I have spent hours on these groups and have enjoyed meeting some […]
