Haters gonna hate!
There is good stuff going on, just not very well publicised, there is a distinct lack of crossover between groups, and birmingham city council is a kafka-esque monolith that seems to hinder anything creative/progressive.Good place to start - http://www.createdinbirmingham.com/
Music - Capsule - http://www.capsule.org.uk/
Film - 7 inch cinema - http://www.7inch.org.uk/news/
Art - ikon gallery, grand union, friction arts, vivid, eastside projects
Cafes (maison mayci is sick as sin imo) - canalside cafe near brindley place- urban coffee church street centre of town
Just a few here other should post their favs too
We can even make our own fun - stick and poke tattoo party anyone? - urban coffee church street centre of town

Sorry to say this but I don't think I'm gonna be able to make wednesday night polo any more. It'll have to be Sunday only for me from now on.

Water tends to distort the shape of leather saddles, so if you do try this method don't hop off, you'll need to ride it til it's failry dry so it keeps the shape of your arse.
I used a small amount of neats foot oil, applied to the under, to break it in at first. Since then i have been using proofide.
My leather saddle has done over 10,000 and it's getting better every day.

Hi my bike was stolen in birmingham on sunday morning details here. If anyone sees it on ebay/gumtree/craigslits please let me know.
Thanks
