You'd need to do at least six single (90-minute) journeys while you're there to make this better value, I think. Or eight if you get the convoys rather than metro to and from the ground. Airport is 5.50 each way, then 1.20 a metro journey.
Hard techno at Club Roots last night. The place is new since I last went out in Amsterdam. Can’t remember owt about it but it must have been good because I didn’t take any photos.
Rush Hour had a really good Fela Kuti exhibition on Wednesday. Album artworks and that. One of the guys who works...
For anyone into tunes: Rush Hour - the best record store in the world - is having its annual massive used hiphop and house sale on Wednesday.
Loads of coffee shops showing the Spurs game tonight. Also lightning.
We'd actually looked solid before that – drew 0-0 at Hull and Hartlepool in the two games immediately beforehand.
Think it was Paul Emblen's debut and we were all hoping he'd help us win games if we could keep the clean sheets going. Valur Gislason definitely played. Memorably anonymous.

Got a good one for someone’s birthday from Harry Batten on Conway Street the other week. Was £35 for a 4-6 person cake but I’d say the actual size was more like a 10-person one.
Cielo on Church Street looks good and has vegan options but they don’t have prices on their site.
Imagine an alternate universe where the club proactively tries to be on the fans' side. Acknowledgement/drink for those who waited three hours for a bus in Marseille, decent refund/exchange options for games when life gets in the way etc. Wonder if it'll change if we get relegated and we're back...
Mixed feelings on this. It’s sort of good that it’s got people talking and Norwich have gone a step further with the shirt sponsorship thing, which at least makes it feel more than a token gesture. Something is better than nothing etc etc.
On the flip side, seems like a distraction for people...
Finally went to La Passarelle last night. It was like places in Brighton used to be before (I think) the plague of online reviews. Lots of piss-taking. Could have stayed for about three weeks. Rum cocktail, white fish with black rice and sauce, choc brownie, panna cotta with fig. Bosh
Quite a few people headed off to do their own thing. The convoy meant the last buses only missed a few minutes. It didn’t feel safe weaving in and out of traffic and there were a few near-misses. Felt sorry for the drivers.
The lack of basic facilities and in-person communication at the square...
Saw him jogging past the King Alfred last Monday morning.
I'm sure I'd have left him in no doubt he's a treacherous ballbag asked how he was doing and awkwardly thanked him for everything, had he stopped.
Appreciate we’re far from the biggest ticket-shifter for Marseille but it made me chuckle that they’re charging £26 for a game they could have set any price for in the away end while Chelsea want a quid more for a ballbag cup tie
