Roller Disco
Movers and Shakers,
For one star-spangled night of dance-floor chaos, we’re transforming our gaff into a roller disco. Yes, you heard that right. It’s a Goddam Godzilla showdown of epic proportions, and you, my esteemed archaeological colleagues, are all invited to check out the spandex. There’s a flyer attached, with a phone number and details. Our wheels will be well oiled from about 8ish. Come later and they’ll be very well oiled.

We transformed the hostel for one night into a glitzy casino, seedy Vegas motel and soul food kitchen, all sound-tracked by three rooms of music playing the best of soul, funk, groove, hip-hop, disco, breaks, electro and whatever else is cool but unclassifiable. An army of Djs too numerous to mention, and how many parties have you been to recently who can boast their own resident chef? Read more

Put Kettle On, diggingthedirt.
The first day of spring, and even the kettle’s feeling the cold.
Casino Monte Carlo
Yes, it’s the one the chattering classes are still chattering about: Casino Monte Carlo! An end of site party to end end of site parties.
Just picture the scene: a bachelor sized Scalectrix, a free bar, a poker table, a roulette wheel, all soundtracked to a live jazz band and polished off with a heavy slice of dance floor funk. Read more
Beach Party
No information on this one. The Feds are still hot on the scent. You aint seen me… Right!?! Read more
The Nasty in the Pasty
In olden days, if you wanted the latest statistical assessment based on predictive medical science as to how long you’d got left to live, there wasn’t any point logging on to http//:www.deathclock.com. A blank screen would have just flashed the obvious:
Nasty, Short and Brutish. Read more
