Lark Lane and its side streets. Of course, my eagle-eyed oasis followers will have reverently doffed their adidas bucket hats upon sight of the green doored building in the last pic as being the site of where the band's debut single, Supersonic was recorded. Liverpool

Got myself into Liverpool early this morning and afforded myself a bit of time for a good mooch before meeting up with my best mate who's from Salford but now domiciled in Birkenhead across that river. I love these packed streets where Dingle gives way to Aigburth.

Pint of rhubarb cider in a boozer slap in the middle of Portobello Road for under 7 quid. Result. The gaff's all boarded up. Is there a hurricane/riot/carnival heading this way? Notting Hill

The Pictures I'm currently reading about about the infamous mass murderer, John Christie of nearby 10 Rillington Place. He worked as a projectionist here. Notting Hill

This sculpture caught my eye as I passed by earlier. I was convinced it was Mike Tyson dolled up. Turns out it's somebody named Mary Seacole, the first black woman in the UK to put out an autobiography. Paddington

Sometimes I'm in the mood for the hit and miss experience of paying good money to see bands I've never heard of, playing upstairs in a Pentonville boozer. Supping from a can of Pabst* is a bonus. *Pabst is/was a very unfashionable Milwaukee beer. I visited their brewery in 1993

We all like a trip down memory lane. I decided to repair to the bar to watch the headliner set and pretend I was in the away seats at QPR with one of those tickets with a forewarning stamp declaring 'Diabolical View'. Do QPR still do that? London

Walking past Marylebone Station today I was uncontrollably compelled to nip in and pay homage to The Beatles and the film, Hard Day's Night. An all time favourite of mine. The Marks & Sparks security lads were like, 'Another Beatles barmpot there, Sid'
