Happy New Year everyone.


I'm still recovering from the NYE bash at The Rye. Not quite as fantastic as the very first one in 2004 (when the Rye's arrival and opening was like an amazing gift from the gods to those of us living on the borders) but awesome nonetheless.


The incident splattered evening was great fun and featured:


- A very warm and friendly welcome from the bar staff

- A great DJ

- A drunken fireworks display (set off by a man with a pint in his hand) - of water I'm sure.

- Bare breasts! (Thanks for that)

- A flashing fellow Scotsman - chiplolatas ahoy!


I still cant get over the breasts...not sure how this compares with the CPT?!!


Edited for legal reasons.

I missed the..... exposures later in the evening as my posse required that I take them home about 1ish, but mostly concur with MrBen's report. Whilst not on a par with the first one a few years back I think I spent too much of the evening comparing the two events instead of just enjoying myself. In the end I had a ball


As someone else noted it was expensive for what it was, but to my mind there aren't that many occassions where I get to dress up proper-like. An interesting mixture of people too - one chap in particular who appeared to be "inspired by" Russell Brand gave good value already, but when someone else related the next day that when this was put to him at about 3am, he replied "on a good day I get Jonny Depp, on a bad day David Dickinson" I hooted some more


We got to spend time with birthday-boy Mike P who judging by the hour and demeanour of his subsequent posts enjoyed himself enormously. Lady MacGabhann got to have a proper boogie. Eva gave me more free fizzy drinks than I was permitted. The DJ was clearly nuts. I mean, what's not to like??


Oh and retiring at 1am did have the added advantage of me not suffering the fear the next day. Took my guests over to the Nuns Head for a spot of burger and chip therapy and it was clear that most of the staff hadn't seen bed at all - I wasn't sure if I was jealous or relieved

Actually AFN I found myself in your neck of the woods last night and popped into the Golden Anchor on Eveline Road.

Now, you probably wouldn't have the balls to go in there yourself because I fancy up you're far too up your own preconceived Nunhead but if you do ever pop in there you'll find a very nice and friendly predomninently West Indian pub that plays great old reggae tunes and the brothers playing dominoes in the front bar. I liked the look of the food on offer and shall be returning soon. Great Guinness too by the way.

    • Hello - If anybody has any hifi valve amplifiers, working or in need of restoration, I'm keen to buy such things from you! I particularly like amps from the 50s and 60s, the sort of thing you used to find in old sideboards, but ultimately anything with glass tubes sticking out of them is of interest to me. I am also in the market for good quality hifi items in general, particularly faulty items in need of fixing and restoration. This includes turntables, amplifiers, cd players, speakers, graphic EQs, cassette players, reel to reel players, etc. etc. Ultimately, all electronic musical objects are of intrigue to me. Many thanks, and hope to hear from you soon, -Scott 07956 853 538  
    • Using the smart CCTV cameras is your best strategy - particularly if they have adequate infra-red capability. Setting them to be triggered by line crossing or areas of intrusion is worthwhile setting up as is linking them to a PIR sensor. The PIR could also be used to activate a sounder but that might upset your other neighbours. I have a few cameras around our property and I enjoy reviewing the recordings and apart from foxes and birds, I catch the occasional opportunistic thief on camera - like this one last Tuesday. If you need any help, please drop me a PM. S7.mp4
    • Not in Ed, but I was in NE England over the weekend and saw an otter in the wild! Never seen one before, it was quite lovely.
    • Well unless the heron got them later, there were the  two cootlets. I think some others of this year's babies must have escaped the heron. Many years ago (and possibly still, though I never see them any more) there was a whole heron family on the island  - mum, dad and youngster. I don't know how long herons live. Maybe this one is the grown up youngster.
