Notting Hill Carnival 2022

[shifting gears]

I was quite taken aback with the amount of people doing balloons.

That was starting to be more visible a few years back from what I remember (I may have also bought a balloon once or twice in previous years…. in fact I remember nearly passing out after doing one as my brain rattled in time to the dub echo )

I was quite taken aback with the amount of people doing balloons.

Yeah I noticed that too. Guess I'm not that surprised. Had a lovely day, so tired now. Almost tempted to go back tomorrow

 

[shifting gears]

Yeah same Callie, I’ve got friends going tomorrow but I’ll be fucked for work on Tuesday if I go again. Maybe I’ll sleep on it hehe

Had the best sleep in ages last night, 9 solid hours - courtesy of having Aba Shanti shake one to the absolute core.

I even bought a t-shirt y/day.

 

[TopCat]

I was pissed with Channel One being totally disorganised and not getting any sound out till gone three o clock.
Had a great time though.

Got tired legs today.

It’s shocking the lack of media coverage.

Not such a bad thing imo.

all over the place ATM and the big canister not just the whippets in West London atm

 

[Numbers]

Not such a bad thing imo.

I do agree to a degree, however what a spectacular celebration it is, it should be celebrated and shared more, the mix of young and old, all shades of colour, all shapes - everyone really letting go and enjoying themselves in such a shared experience. The vibes there y/day were beautiful and Aba was tearing it down - you'd be hard pressed to get some clean footage from there tho' but there's a lot of Carnival which can be.

I went solo y/day and loved it, I stayed at Aba for 4 hours which is something I never get to do if with mi familia/friends, but I also missed being with them.

Beautiful day out.

Sadly, not going back today.. hanging out with Mrs N, having a BBQ/Mojitos etc. and have the Minirigs primed.

Thought it was quite poignant myself. Aba obvs has health issues and has made the necessary changes he needed to, it's the same here in Casa Numbers i.

 

[Petcha]

I wasn't aware he had health issues... hope hes ok

I wasn't aware he had health issues... hope hes ok

I don’t know if he does but if he hasn’t smoked weed for 5 years (as he said) there sadly must be a reason.

 

[Gromit]

Need a track ID.

Yesterday the Maniaks float were playing something that started off with 3 or 4 questions;

Where ya going?
Where ya bin?
What's your name?

Then the chorus was;

None of your fucking business
None of your fucking business.

Or something like that.

Anyone know it?

Despite it being a celebration of black culture they've done their utmost best to picture white women front n centre of their article. /Sigh

She’s clearly not white British

It's one of the Top Stories on BBC News app so not sure how much more coverage you expect - or would really want, last thing it needs is more tourists or patronising (or worse) commentary.

you were talking about media coverage, for some reason (i suspect a culture wars one) this is the most viewed story on the BBC website

 

[londonkid]
