The nearly life and times of Nick Bloomfield
Ok, so one of the things I’ve been doing a lot more of in the last couple of years is filming public events and music gigs. For the most part I’ve enjoyed it but I really hate the people that get in your way!
This was at the Alice Cooper gig…

1968 was a really important year for me.
It marked the turning point from being a boy into becoming a teenager who went out, started drinking beer, started being sick and getting hangovers…

So, my picture fell off the radiator(retrieved for me by my brother from France after a ten year gap!) cracked the glass on my Mac and I finally finished the Flash Mob thingy in Eastbourne and then had to activate my Facebook page to promote it and they are chopping down my favourite tree opposite my flat……

I am indebted to Lee for sending me the photograph of my Road – Kenilworth Road. You will note that there are no cars and three gas lamps so it was probably taken by Lee in the late 1890’s – he really doesn’t look his age…

Various reports I have read regarding the now defunct Presidents club are extremely generalised and use the term ‘the men’. I wonder how many of the men were actually participating in this sort of lewd and aggressive behaviour out of the 360 who attended. I find it hard to believe that it was more than a small minority?
