Flicking through our local Picture House cinema magazine and there's the odd film or two to get excited about. First of all, its not Mighty Boosh the movie but most of the cast and production team have created Bunny and the Bull which is out on 27th November. It looks like the same spanglely, dream-like, colourful look of the Boosh plus the characters look like Noel Fielding had too much cheese the night before and spawned from his dreams. The plot looks a little thin as a sort of road movie described as Sideways meets Withnail and I. Its already been shown at the Toronto International Film Festival but at the time of writing the web page wouldn't load properly as there seems to be a video file embedded. If you have Facebook or Twitter , why not follow them. The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus was Heath Ledger's last film and his role has been partially filled by Jonny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law. Expect weirdness and a grand style from Terry Gilliam. A Serious

With Josh and Christie leaving so early in Sunday we took advantage of our lie-in privileges and went over to Worthing to see the International Worthing Birdman . If you're not familiar with this eccentric tradition, its basically a load of sponsored nutters who either build their own glider to get the most distance or dress up to hurl themselves off the pier. It was a good turn out thanks to the glorious weather though there was room for more. Saturday had the more serious competitors so we settled in for some leaping lemmings. All the contestants had their own backstory, charity and small comedy routine played to their own music. Highlights for us were: Bilbo/Frodo Baggins who'd gone all the way with wig and fake feet ( Flickr photo ) Inspector Gadget who had been set up by his mates as a stag do - poor guy ( Flickr photo ) The Aussie crocodile man who's head fell off ( Flickr photo ) Chitty Chitty Bang Bang cast including Childcatcher and eccentric Grandpa (

The weekend welcomed our Norfolk friends Josh, Christie and their two blond-bombshell daughters, Lily and Rachel. We had a boozy catch-up on Friday night taking advantage of our over-stocked cocktail supply then Saturday we had a family day out on Brighton Pier and the beach. For £20 you can get 30 tokens to pay for rides which doesn't stretch that far with two kids and four adults. The log flume was a greedy 4 tokens each which had just two splashes but broke down just before we tried going on. Finally got to play the legendary Dolphin Derby with Lily winning the prize. Otherwise it was watching the kids on slides and the carousel. We finished the day relaxing on the beach watching Josh swim out and some airplanes flying in for the Shoreham Air Show.

Another win under our belts for the Pond Pub Quiz on Thursday. Kinky Kev's Kitsch Kittens won us the runners up prize for team name - a bag of crisps. We won the music round as well trading in the dodgy bottle of wine for a round of shots if memory serves me well. Well done to Sukey and Julian, our new quiz-questadors for providing their own expertise. Don't think we can get away with 7 people next time though. Feeling like a Friday night in would suit us better we dragged ourselves out for a night at Audio , Brighton for Maxxi Broadcast 's Crazy P live PA. Crazy P have been around for years and changed their name from Crazy Penis. We got into the club quite early with the other friends of DJs but it didn't fill up as much as it deserved. I was impressed by some of the mash-up/remixes I heard even though I prefer my house tougher. Crazy P's singer had a great voice reminding me of Roisin Murphy though like a lot of MCs she kept reminding us it was 'Friday night

Discovered this piece of art on Church Street, Brighton near the Library entrance. Its part of a new exhibition held at Prescription Art , the Old Music Library. Inside are more huge installations built from old crates, furniture and wood to resemble ehibition title, Robots.

After the previous weekend of excess, I thought we'd be ready for a quiet one until we decided to host a cocktail evening. Within a week we'd (perhaps) over-did the preparations with a cocktail menu and far too much booze ordered through Asda (surprisingly well-stocked with obscure spirits), Ocado (who stock Tuaca ) and a grand haul of Japanese beer, Shocho and plum wine ( Japan Centre ). The menu was scripted by Kerry on PowerPoint whilst I injected some themed style of using The Usual Suspects which got us in trouble with Kerry's work. It wasn't the cock in cocktail but the quote within the emailed document of 'Gimme the fuckin keys you fuckin cocksucker mutha fucka arrghhh!'. Something like foul, non-business language with sexual explicit under-tones. Ooops! The night itself was another mad rush of fast drinking with Keyser Soze's canopes going down well and the following drinks being asked again: Lady Killer: Gin(1), Apricot Brandy(3/4), Cointr

Get your own retro-style, ZX Spectrum bleepy Daft Punk covers from The Lemur Blog . There's 22 tracks to choose from on the album Da Chip. Nice album cover as well!

Today I found the new Daft Punk tune for the not yet released film, Tron 2 or Tron Legacy. First impressions are that it's not a dance record but gets very hypnotic, building into complete crowd chaos if played live. The blog I found it is Chic Moustache Club but since returning to it the embedded clip has changed into the film's trailer. The audio clip can be found on The Hype Machine website . The video clip below is an interesting reveal of the new film's lightcycle design. As the press and fans enter the special room you get to see the draft drawings in the corridor then the main room shows a full sized lightcycle. Make sure you listen to the video camera owner getting very excited when he see the real bike. Another strange web discovery is this video of Thomas Bangalter making a surprise guest slot DJing three records with Busy P in LA - just him without the Daft Punk helmet. The video is jumpy but clear quality and the sound chaotic with the crowd wetting themselve

Although we've lived in Brighton for two years, we were Gay Pride virgins and our first experience was a wet and stressful one. The plan was to drop off all our stuff at Kev and Karol's in the North Laines which included laptop and stuff for DJing, drinks and a cake Kerry had made the night before (6 hours of chocolate labour). We wanted to catch some of the parade after this then collect enough willing mates to join us at the festival in Preston Park . When the taxi arrived for us at around 11:40am we bundled out without realising the front door key had been left in the lock. The last time this happened it cost me about £90 to get a locksmith out who used a type of bar. I'm not going to give away how I did it but got back into the house without another expensive call-out. Kerry and Emma went without us in the taxi but rang 10 minutes later saying the parade had blocked all traffic and there was no way of crossing the road in the North Laines. This left James and I to cycl
