There's nothing worse than returning to the flat and discovering a rave taking place for some reason or other. Luckily it can't be heard as far as my room so I'll probably get a good nights sleep after the shenanigans of last night.
It started off as planned at around late afternoon where we got a talk from
Andrew Phillips about the plans for Channel 4 Radio in a presentation called
"Radio: Who Gives A F---". This was particuarly interesting for me as Andrew used to be the programme controller at Invicta FM 10 years ago before moving to XFM in London helping to boost the career of Ricky Gervais as well as sacking Russell Brand.
The actual presentation itself asked questions such as would commercial radio work better with sponsorship rather than advertisements, whether DAB is the right platform for radio, and looked at the plans for the radio stations on offer from Channel 4 which are set to launch later in the year.
This was followed by a short visit to the Undercroft before Kelly drove us into Harrow dropping her bag off at Sam's house and then heading to Wetherspoons.
It was steak night there when we arrived although I decided to opt for the Chilli Con Carne with rice and tortilla chips which tends to be what I normally have when I go to Spoons. The plan then was to head up to the Junction but as there was such a long queue to get in, we decided to go back to the Undercroft for a few more drinks and dare games with a bottle until closing time.
The journey there didn't go without Pete shoving Stewart into bushes shouting things like "BUSH!" or "FENCE!" if he was headed for a metal fence but luckily nothing got too out of hand or on the dangerous side of things.
A few people decided to head off early to watch girly movies with the Freshers in halls but myself, Denis, and Sarah went back up to Spoons for a few drinks before going to Trinity where they were playing the usual blend of indie and rock classics.
Highlights included "Teenage Kicks", "Louie Louie" by the Kingsmen and best of all
"Ace Of Spades" by Motorhead.
The night ended with "All You Need Is Love" by the Beatles by which point I'd completely sobered up and just as well. There was definitely no messing about near traffic cones at Northwick Avenue.
