Mandus, Stockholm

Mandus Restaurant & Bar Every time I visit Stockholm (3 or 4 times a year, I’d guess) I make a point of spending at least one evening at Mandus. It’s a little restaurant in the old town (Gamla Stan), that is mainly marketed at (and apparently run by) gay folk. However, it is certainly ‘heterofriendly’, and seems to get a fair bit of passing trade.

The food is good, reasonably priced (much cheaper than many of the tourist targetted establishments nearby), and they are always very tolerant of my need to speak English!

I’ve idled many pleasant evenings there, and I tend to take colleagues along if we’re travelling as a group. It makes a nice change to be on the road, and in a bar where the eye candy is biased in my direction :-)

If you’re ever in Stockholm, it’s highly recommended. Apologies for the quality of tonight’s picture, but it was dark by the time I left!

London Titans 6-3 Birmingham Blaze

So I missed most of the first half of Sunday’s match, and I arrived with the score at 2-2. The Titans seemed to be playing quite well though, and after a bit of a pep talk at half time from their coach, proceeded to score a few more.

It’s all quite disorienting to a Coventry fan – turning up to a football match, and having the team I support win!

Thank you London Gay Men’s Chorus

Last night was their sold out show at the Barbican. It was just the thing to get into the Christmas mood. As ever, there was quite a varied repetoire, and the sight of all those men going through the choreography is impressive! It was also nice to have a compere (Sandi Toksvig) who didn’t have to apologise for not being gay herself! They mentioned their summer show – Bad Boys – and I see that it will be around the time of my birthday next year. Excellent!
