My helicopting, quad-biking, cocktail-boozing, fine-dining birthday in Brighton/Sussex

Image
What a day! Some luxury birthday presents including a future trip to Minecart Madness near Snowdon. After breakfast I was blindfolded (ooh, kinky) and bundled into the car for a mystery tour by my missus. We drove for about 20 minutes and to my slight disappointment had turned up outside an office. When I got out of the car I realised we were at Shoreham Airport . As we walked towards another office I saw the exciting sign of Helifly ! After being greeted by the pilot and a few moments hanging around watching the seagulls getting moved on from the airfield we were treated to an aerial tour of the south coast past Brighton, turning inland after Rottingdean, over Lewes and headed back to Shoreham over the South Downs.

Laurent Garnier mix with video

No birthday Laurent Garnier this year as he was DJing in London and didn't fancy the horrible train journey home. Instead we braved the strong winds and headed to the Globe for Kinfolk's last resident night then to Digital, Brighton for PleasureKraft. Horrible crowd, slightly skanky club but we prevailed to at least dance for hours. By 2:30am we got bored on the same tech-house and headed back for the last 30 minutes of Kinfolk. This is what I really wanted for my birthday captured in a video.

I must have seen Ghostbusters a dozen times with two and a bit of them at my old hometown cinema when it was first released in 1984. I say 'and a bit' as the third time I tried to see it I had arranged with a school friend to meet outside the cinema. As I was so keen to meet him and get good seats I was at the start of the queue. As the doors opened and everyone crammed in my 11 year old mind told me I would meet my friend inside. Being dropped off by his mother they probably thought I hadn't turned up so called my own mum. Whilst I started to watch the film oblivious to the worry caused, I noticed my mum was talking to the cinema's manager looking very worried but decided to duck my head and try to ignore her. Somehow it worked as my mum and manager went back down the stairs to the foyer. Thinking I'd gotten away I continued to watch the film up to the film's library scene. Unfortunately, instead of hearing Bill Murray's voice it was blanked out by t
