One of my favourite movies of all time is I-Robot. OK, I admit that’s just because I love Will Smith, but the idea of robots is really very cool to me (loooooser!). Fine. But if you’re telling me that you’d say no to a robot in your house then you’re lying. And with the world’s first robot barman hitting Selfridges tomorrow (see Robotic Barman Descends on the UK) I think they have a plan!

So, imagine my joy when I heard about a pioneering idea in the clubbing world called Neurotic. Held at one of ViewLondon’s favourite new spots on the club scene, the ICA, …

Alas, our dear Guy About Town John Gough is going to be absent next week as he's jetting off to Monaco. Now I love London but I certainly wouldn't be saying no to a yacht, and sometimes even the biggest party animals need a break! So make the most of this week's blog and he'll be back in a fortnight to regale us with more tales from the party front line. To make up for the fact he's on holiday, he's managed to cram more celebrities, parties and madcap fun into one week than ever before! Thanks John, have a great holiday...

I thought I was going to struggle to write my blog this week after my brand new Macbook went bang a couple of days …

Now I have to admit, I’m not the most arty of people (see The Art of Drinking) – although, I DID get a Banksy print for my birthday the other day, which now hangs proudly on my wall, so I’m not a TOTALLY hopeless case!

However, when the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) suddenly burst onto the club scene (yes, clubbing in a gallery), I have to admit my interest was definitely piqued. Saturday 28th June will see the whole ground floor of the ICA transformed into the unoriginally named NIGHTCLUB (upper case, of course). Claiming to 'invoke the spirit of club and rave subculture' …

Well, well, well. Can it be that the weather is finally turning and we may actually see some sun this summer? I know, shock horror, right? Well I hope so anyway – as you may have noticed, festival season is practically upon us.

I am so excited my head occasionally spins around when I think about it... It’s so close I can practically taste the overpriced beer! Not one for such camping mud nonsense as Glastonbury (see Who Needs Glaston-Muddy), this year it’s all about the London festivals for me (OK, and areas within a short train ride of our fair city).

It all starts to heat up this weekend when Hyde …

One of these days our Guy About Town, John Gough, might just have to have a quiet week in… Wait, what am I talking about? With his glamorous celebrity lifestyle and invitations to just about every hot event in the capital he doesn’t have time for things like sleeping and going to Tescos like us mere mortals. So live vicariously and see what fun and excitement has been going on in John’s life this week – go on, you know you want to…

It’s been another glamorous old week, folks! It’s Royal Ascot this week (more on that later), and last week was Graduate Fashion Week, so there have been even more parties and fabulous happenings than …
