....On Sunday evening TBC gathered for a much needed night
of food, drink and cinema. We began with pizza, then cocktails
at Frevd, finishing with Batman: The Dark Knight at the cinema.
It was a great evening, but I was a little diappointed with the
film. Too long, terrible audio in the cinema, (boycott Odeon
Tottenham Court Road!), Christian Bale's voice when Batman
bordering on ridiculous, (& inaudible). On the plus side, there
was plenty of action, plenty of sweets to eat and....oh, Heath
Ledger. He was good. Very good, but simply playing a villain in a
Comic Book movie. For me, it was just a Batman film. It was good,
but certainly not worth the ridiculous title of 'Best film ever made'
which voters on the IMDB website gave it.
Here are some pics of TBC, (Roy, Lorenzo, Ed & Liam):

The Weekend....
....JAWS
On Saturday I had further surgery on my mouth.
What can only be described as screw caps were fitted
to the existing the titanium poles that are implanted
in to my gum and jaw. It gives me the rather classy
look of Jaws from the Bond film! Unfortunately this
will only last a six weeks before i finally get my
permanent teeth.
Here are 2 close-up shots and a reminder of the full
teeth-gate via a wonderful slideshow!
....DARK NIGHT
Alicia and I decided to pop to my work at midnight on
Saturday night. We were taking advantage of the printing
facilities and of course the 24hr building. What should
have been a half hour job saw us leaving at 4am! Still,
the roads were quiet for our cycle home.
....SUNDAY SOCIAL
On Sunday Lorenzo and Madeleine came round for breakfast,
where 'Zo modelled the latest in contemporary oats sold
at Tesco. Foska oats from Jamica seem to use a hand painted
Mighty White kid to advertise their breakfast.......Hmmm.
We didn't eat it!
We then walked round the corner to see the Published & The Damned fair at Rochelle School. Lorenzo was in his element,
buying limited edition self published fanzines and the like.
I merely took photos and pretended to look cultural!

New Yoiking....
....I was flicking through some old photos and stumbled
across these from a trip to New York last year. It reminds
me how much I love the city and how desperate I am to go
back.

Summer Party....
....AMV put on a summer party for their empoloyees. Carnival
theme, steel drums, traditional dancers were all great. The sterile,
generic South London bar wasn't. Still, free food and drink meant I
easily overcame that hurdle and had a great night amongst friends
and my African take on the theme seemed to go down well!

London to Brighton....
....A few guys from our football team, Tornados, decided
to cycle to Brighton yesterday.
The pelaton
We lucked out on the weather and thoroughly enjoyed the
ride - the first half was mainly busy roads, but the second
stint was along beautiful country lanes.
Halfway house
At this point, john's bike gave up the ghost. A taxi came to
his rescue and whisked him off to the nearest train station
to catch the next train to Brighton.
John is out of the race
The final leg of the cycle saw us tackle 'Devil's Dyke'.
I managed to get to the top without having to walk -
more than can be said for John, Liam, Quoc & Johnny!
Devil's Dyke summit
We cycled the final leg in to Brighton, with ice cream, beer
and food as a reward - in that order!
Brighton finale

Thanks to Dave Gorman for this one.

Olympic Posters....
....I posted a comment regarding the Olympic Posters
Exhibition a while back, when I first heard it was due
to open at the Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green.
Well, the show has started and you should go!

Self promotion....

lights.

today. Try and grab a copy if you can - I think they have only
run 1000 copies and it looks fantastic.
