Hey
look, Zach Galligan, Billy from Gremlins,
follows me on Twitter. Amazeballs.
I
went to Banyan in the Corn Exchange twice this week, Friday
and Saturday night. It was a coincidence that two unrelated groups of
people organised this and sat at the exact same table. Great
traditional British food. A little pricey for what it was, and no
January deal unfortunately. I also forgot to check the price of
Glenmorangie Signet, and was £20 down by the time they served it.
Will
I ever learn?
On
Saturday, after the meal, we dropped into new Northern Quarter bar
The Honey Trap Club, a
Berlin-inspired bar. I've been to Berlin but I can't say if it was a
good reflection of Das Kapital's nightlife scene as we were denied
entry from most of these places for being Brexiteering bastard
tourists.
HTC
was certainly unique, with underplayed 80's hip hop, very basic
décor, exposed breeze-block walls, chip board, vintage props,
beret-wearing girls and bearded 18-year-old hipster blokes. I'd go
back.
These
have been my first nights out since New Year, during which time I've
watched a lot of Netflix and read a lot. I picked up a free issue of
Swordquest at Golden Orbit's Comic and Film Fair, and have read it
this week. A short, interesting tale of an ageing computer nerd going
back to his Atari roots.
Today
I read Predator: Kindred, a graphic novel about an intergalactic
trophy hunter dropping in on a sleepy town, which has already been
rocked by the controversial transportation of a serial killer through
their locale, and a historical bloody murder. The culprit might have
returned...
An
entertainingly violent story, but fairly routine for the Predator
franchise.
Looking
forward to reading the rest of my purchases, plus now January is
coming to a close hopefully the nightlife / Meetup scene might
rejuvenate...
