Notting Hill Carnival....


Current mood: suitably uplifted...
Category: suitably uplifted... Music



It's taken me 33 years to make it over to this rather wonderful event, and having finally done so, I don't have too much to say about it except that it's as good an advert for multi-culturalism and immigration as you'll see - and that I advise everyone who hasn't yet been, to GO!!!!

For all of you going next year, here are my top tips:

1) Piss (REALLY EMPTY THAT BLADDER!!!) before leaving the house
2) Drink spirits (and buy them well before you get there) - drinking beer nullifies the object of point 1. It'll also mean you drink warm beer and/or pay outrageous prices/queue for cold cans...
3) Take cash - don't expect to find a cashpoint with either money in it or a queue shorter than 50 people..
4) Don't think it's amusing to ask a copper to wear his tit and then pose for a photograph...
5) Hide your drugs well - there's a fair amount of stop and search
6) Eat drink and be merry...

Oh, and here are some pictures of the carnival fish...
