Lucky Voice
I thought I'd give you all a break from gourmet grub this weekend and give those of you who gave Carnival a miss the chance to let your hair down - those of you who didn't probably need to spend the next few nights tucked up in bed.
I'm not a huge fan of karaoke but it's a bit like bowling, you slightly dread the prospect but once you get started you become consumed with an overwhelming passion as you realise that it is, in fact, your true calling in life.
Lucky Voice, which opens a new branch in Islington on Friday, is about as good as karaoke gets. Book your own deluxe private room with a state-of-the-art touchscreen system crammed with 6,000 songs and cordless mics to wail into to your heart's content.
Just don't get your Ginseng Margarita (Jose Cuervo Gold tequlia shaken with ginseng spirit, fresh lime and Cointreau) mixed up with your Wasabi Margherita pizza
or it could affect your performance.
I'll be the one in the pink wig doing my impression of Scarlet Johansson singing Brass In Pocket.
