The Fawcett was always the place to meet people, always the place for DIY punk shows and breakbeat nights that blew your bollocks off, a place to have a great laugh and a place full of great memories and people. It was always such a vibrant pub full off wonderful weirdos, good music, a dodgy atmosphere and mind-bending drugs. It's where I met and befriended ALOT of the people I know and love now and it's a place that holds a lot of great (if slightly blurry) memories. Some of my memories and happy moments for anyone who gives a shit and doesn't wank over the Milton now...

I cannot explain how much my life has been enriched by volunteering in India. The country, the culture, the people, I have fallen in love with all three.

Eating with your hands, chasing children, street goats, getting Kylie off your chair, squat toilets, lunch at Prya’s, the tiny chef <3, rain disco! PINEAPPLE SHAKE! “Time to make party!”smiling when you don’t understand, riding elephants, sunsets at the fishing nets, Kashmere boys <3, sleeper-class, Dal Roti, Hello Kitty watches, Jutten, Sat’s facial expressions, fat kids, Standard 8 boys J, wrestling with Ross, bats on the backwaters, keyboard flip-flops, hot coffee with ice cubes, Billy’s tiny nipples, tearful goodbyes, playing ‘would you rather…?’ stickers! Jim’s sleep-walking, carrots at the XL Bar, bowel-updates with Ashley Pavitt, stray dogs, VARKALA! Halloween costumes, dirty feet, thunderstorms, leg-wrestling, moustaches! Making cranes with Kaz-San, Over The Deep Blue Sea, dancing, competitions, milkshakes at Loafers, Kieran’s ‘worm’, the Sanjays, “bees on the knees”, OY’s, tuk-tuks, Club Cabana, sarees, Little Tibet, falling in rivers, film nights, Asterix, the boys home, Gangnam Style… great times, great friends, great memories…

…Incredible, this India.

I am SO excited about the NEW 52 stuff, for the first time people of my generation can follow and on-going series from issue number one! I'll be following Aquaman, Deathstroke, Batman & Robin and Green Arrow! :D
