June 2011 Issue Ninety
deep online at: www.deep-london.co.uk • www.issuu.com • facebook deep-london • twitter @deep_london Hello there.. ...and welcome to issue 90. Happy birthday to us, happy birthday to us, happy birthday dear uuuuuuuussss, happy birthday to us!! Yep, it’s our birthday. Eight years of churning out unparallelled rubbish for you lovely people for absolutely nish of your hard earned money. Can’t be bad. The cover this month, by the way, is a subtle hint to anyone who’s appreciated eight years of us churning out unparallelled rubbish for absolutely nish of your hard earned money as to what you can buy us when you see us... As is customary at this time of year, we’ve consulted the child development website to find out how we’re doing and I’m pleased to say we’re spot on, for it doth say normal characteristics are thus: Is busy and active; has frequent accidents; Makes faces, wiggles, clowns; May frequently urinate as a result of anxiety; Has good appetite, wolfs down food, belches spontaneously - may accept new foods; Has improved health with a few short illnesses. Yep, [cough, wheeze] as I said, we’re spot on, although if you’re expecting us to accept new foods it depends what you mean by ‘new’, I mean, I was once served a sliced and sauteed bull’s testicle in Spain; doesn’t mean I ate it. Well, not all of it anyway, they’re quite hefty... Anyhoo... It’s June and the festival season is upon us, but we’re not talking Isle Of Wight, Reading and Leeds or Glasto, in fact, Glasto Schmlasto, no, we’re talking far more exciting than all of them put together, we’re talking Purley Festival! South Norwood Arts Festival! Caterham Festival! Bromley Literary Festival! Croydon Folk and Blues Festival! Oh yes, it’s all going on in June - in fact the only thing that’s missing is the build up to Croydon Summer Festival (don’t get me started). You can find details of all these wondrous events, and they actually are pretty good (and mostly FREE!), what are on your very doorstep, in the what’s on pages, and we’ll see you at the beer tents of at least two of them. Elsewhere, on the party front, I haven’t checked yet but you never know, I may have won the lottery, or those six donkeys I’ve just bet on might come in, in which case we’ll throw the biggest party in the WHOLE MILKY WAY. If not, which I suspect may be the case, we’ll just have a night down a boozer in July to coincide with my actual birthday and invite you all along. We’ll let you know. Right, that’s it from me for another month, and indeed another year. Have a fab and hopefully sunny June, and we’ll see you next month. Avanti, allons-y, CHEERS! Angela xxx Your Bonsai-Editor
