Just want to recommend some bands. I was at a gig Saturday evening with Max and Steph at ULU. Unfortunately not many people around. The bands were quite good though and the guy, who announced the bands was fantastic. Whenever the bands had to rearrange he played some songs on his guitar together with a excellent beatbox performance. Great. I quite liked the first band called "Rotating Leslie" and the last one called "Officer Kicks". So check them out!

Afterwards we went to "Maison Touaregue", a Moroccan restaurant/bar in Greek Street. The bar downstairs is open until 3 am. It's quite cozy, you can sit on a sofa and smoke the water pipe and listen to some sort of 80's/90's disco music, which honestly is a bit out of place. I would appreciate some music that goes with the sofas and the water pipe ;-)

Flash Gordon around

I was outside in front of our building with Mo for short break, when a man drove by with his bike. This guy was wearing lycras and we were complaining about that. What's the point in lycras other then showing your balls to everybody around? Anyway, Mo was pointing at him and saying something like "why the hell is he wearing lycras?" when a grumpy old man passed by and muttered: "Yeah, sick! Fucking Flash Gordon, isn't it?".

Road Holes

Going by scooter is really convenient in London. The only thing I hate: road holes. I am not talking about the small bumps, I mean the ones where a small kid can easily fit it. It's ok if you can spot them early enough to avoid them, but if you're right behind a car they appear suddenly. This morning I hit a road hole that deep, I couldn't see the sunlight for a sec ;-)

What would Chuck Norris do?

You probably know the webpage Chuck Norris Facts, right? Some time ago I ordered a t-shirt with saying "What would Chuck Norris do?" at the front and my favourite Chuck Norris fact: "Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits." at the back.
I was wearing this shirt on Saturday while shopping in Muswell Hill. After I left Saintsbury's and passed a cafe a man was running towards me. He asked me to turn around, because the front of the shirt made him curious. After he read the back he burst out laughing, said thanks and went back to his cafe table. I had to laugh too and was so distracted that I forgot to remove the lock through the wheel of my scooter. This made leaving the place quite hard ;-)

Deutschland Dankt

Malte Münchert and Andre Doerk, two web-designer from Berlin try to collect one million personal "Danke" (thank you) messages, print them out and send them to the German football team.

Great idea, I can just say "Danke" for attractive football and a great atmosphere that changed Germany and I guess also the way other countries think about Germany.
