Alan Partridge

Hello, hello...

So the hours are running out before departure.... and firstly I would like to say thank you so much to everyone.

I am close now really close to making the donation targets I had hoped to meet.

My leaving party is tomorrow at the Ace Cafe and I have a stack of cards to hand out about the trip and some tins to rattle at people to get some last pennies for the charities.

If you can come down that would be great! If not well maybe you can come to India.... I have been offered a job in Mumbai so it looks like I maybe there for a least a year.


On a completely different matter I had my first 5 mins of fame this week... well it wasn't the first and I hope not the last but it was small fame with a very little f.

I was interviewed for the widely listened to Radio Norfolk Breakfast Show... Hurrah! It wasn't Alan Partridge that would have been amazing and surely been big time fame.

Anyway all very exciting, but not really had time to think about it as I have so many bits and bobs still to get like maps... might come in handy.


Looks like my actually leaving day, which was to be the Wednesday is now going to be the Thursday so if your desperate to catch me, restrain me or lock me in padded cell, please do it before then...

But what would be even better is to come tomorrow to the Ace Cafe... I will be there from about 4pm, there will be beer, cars, bikes, girls and blokes and probably some leather so something for all the family...

Hope to see you then Adam....

Firstly I thought you might enjoy the terrible photo below.

As you will notice at this stage aesthetics have gone out of the window, I am now just thinking about survival.

Secondly for those who definitely plan to come to the Ace Cafe on Saturday the 30th, I plan on getting there around 5pm. There is an all American Drive in from 4pm and things are pretty lively in the afternoon.

If you want to get a cab from Bloomsbury I will be organising Addison Lee pick ups at 4.30pm to the Ace Cafe a cab can take 6 and its £30, so £5 each is not too bad. If you would like to go by cab let me know and I will book enough. Alternatively the Bakerloo line runs up to Stonebridge Park right next to the Ace Cafe.

The band keeps everything going till 11pm, then I figured we could head to Paradise Way To Kensel Green, which is open to 2 am but I am open to suggestions.

And finally I know some friends may have other commitments on Saturday the 30th, so if you can't make it or north west London just seems far to foreign, I am going to go for a drink next Thursday 28th at The Three Kings on Clerkenwell Close. So it would be great to see you and who knows maybe we will end up having a party that night too!

I look forward to your sarky comments on my biking outfit and hopefully will see some of you next week.
