Following
a weekend of Olympic handover hoo ha (it's still 4 years
away, did we have to bring out the Will Young concert appearance
already?), we're gearing up for even more sporting fun with
the V&A
Get Physical Late and Nike+
10k run, followed by copious amounts of beer,
crabs, and jumping about with Shrooms
and Wonky
Pop. If stamina and looking hot in a headband were an
Olympic sport, we'd be golden.
This weekend's guide is brought to you in association with
agnès
b. The classically chic Parisian label has been drawn-in
by the creative lure of the East, and thus, the new home
for its gorgeous shirts, knits and outerwear has been born
in the shape of a two-storey Old Spitafields Market Unit.

Tiger Beer Singapore Chilli Crab Festival @ Truman Brewery
If you're bored of Chinatown but still fancy a little piece
of the Far East this weekend, go and check out the Singapore
festival. Yes, there'll be crabs, and yes, buckets of beer,
but there's also henna artists, calligraphers, magicians,
martial artists and live cookery demonstrations, not to
mention a traditional garden to relax in after all of the
craziness. So are all Singaporeans straight laced? Not in
Shoreditch. |

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.
