I had a really good weekend stuffing down a load of curry with some legal eagle friends in Surrey. Thanks Suki! That was until Arsenal lost to the Chelski in the Carling Cup. At least John Terry will be seeing double for the forseeable future. Congrats Ally to the new arrival.

Pure brilliance. Every time I hear it the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Hooray for virgins called Connie!

It's a monthly event with artists from all over the world. This Friday we had the Gallagher Brothers who were an traditional Irish band who were great and a black comedian from Brooklyn called Tamika Campbell who was really warm and pulled no punches at the same time in her interaction with the audience. Also we had a story teller called Chris Lowe. We should have had some belly dancers but they couldn't make it. I just did the stewarding but it was all good fun.

Monica Bellucci would too, although I don't know if she was on that list since I missed the show. ************* Anybody go to the Zee Carnival last week ? I did. Lots of fun. Lots of people. Lots of Shilpa. Lots of that foxy babe from the CTS/Claim-Today Solicitors commercials. Lots of live music. Great fashion show (definitely no anorexic size-zeroes there). I hope those of you who did decide to go had a great time too. Angelina gets my vote. Monica Bellucci would too, although I don’t know if she was on that list since I missed the show.

Damn I miss the 90s :( BTW El Cid, I can see why Rickman is sexy, but Elvis is so mommy's boy. He was certainly good looking, but way too 'perfect' to be sexy.

People say he was one of the most beautiful men in the world. Young teenage girls used to say that about Marc Bolan. Maybe it's the androgenous bit. Of course his voice was original and maybe a bit feminine?? Myself I can say that as a heterosexual male I am not sure but I can tell he is handsome.
