Liamo

If you could choose one photo to sum up New Year 2007, would it be this one...?

Birthday medley

Respect to Sam, Dutton, Chris, Dave, Jimbo and Jess for making it to the very end of the birthday celebrations. In honour of the music that kept us up until 6am, here's a selection of the greatest hits.

Total Eclipse of the Heart (Bonnie Tyler)

Suspicious Minds (Elvis Presley)

Design For Life (Manic Street Preachers)

Common People (Pulp)

Last but not least... November Rain (Guns N Roses). Worth it for 4.12 to 5.00 on its own.

Birthday 2008

Thanks to everyone who came out and made it a memorable night.

The boys are back in town.

Three pubs down, one to go.

Eating butter.

Playdoh proves to be the most popular present.

"I want to go home but the music's too good."

New R.E.M. song

28 years later and still going strong - R.E.M.. You can hear their new single on the official site here.

2008 so far

Old Trafford, home of the champions.

New year, new pub. Plus lots of old ones as well.

Marple, nicer than London.

Visiting Tus: "take a photo on Dave's phone, he'll never find it."

Andy Patrick, live and loud.

28th birthday cakes! Thanks Em.

Spreading the good news to the community.
