My weekend.

Good night watching Hips Likw cinderella, Essex was out and he was large and in charge, turns out he was at Uni with the bassist Larry. They were being filmed for something and so if you see Hips like cinderella on telly in the near future, the loon dancing around, well that’s Essex. Him and little legs were in various states of drunkeness, I was on fosters so all I did was get bloated and piss a lot. Sunday we walked dem dogs up Cannock chase and that killed a bit of time, watched a few films,

Shut up Peter you old bastard.

During the 80’s I was aged between 10 and 19, the 80’s are therefore still fresh in my mind. At the time we had popstars that cared more about their hair and their drugs than they did about music, it was the beginnings of the cult of celebrity people like Amanda and bruiser de cadenet, music was at its lowest, waiting for a reaction that thankfully came from the likes of the smiths and later on nirvana. I lived through the 80’s and I hated them, the politics, the music, the fashions, and the cel

catch up.

Its been a while and nothing posted, little really to say at the moment. Oh I got a new job, bitch that I worked with made my life hell so I had a word round the company and I have been given a chance at working as a tester, unqulified, inexperienced but they gave me a chance, which was bloody nice of them. Also we got a rescue kitten, he is called cosmo kramer riley ricketts donohoe, but we call him kramer. Watched clerks 2 finally and although it is clearly the most verbally disgusting f

hiatus.

I have got quite worked up about south parks ridicule over steve irwins death, I guess I was able to put myself in the shoes of his family. The common theme on the thread that I posted was that he was that because its south park and they were playing for laughs it was justified. I am not offended by a cartoon poking fun at a death, just for a second though I thought blimey imagine you were terri watching that, or his little girl would think. It appears no one could imagine that and I was wrong f

Pixies doc.

Started watching the pixies documentary today, loudquietloud, caught the first half on the bus on my psp. I am aware that the editing isnt too flattering of the band and Davids drinking as a result of his fathers death is highlighted, however it has been pretty insightful so far, footage of their first rehearsals since they got back together and behind the scenes stuff, and from my perspective kim singing a song that will surely go on the next breeders album. We listened to title tk last night,

I am touched by your presence ears.

For the past few weeks I have been afforded the relative luxury of an office, well for the next two weeks at least, until I move to the new job. Hence my upped presence on efestivals, its been nice not worrying who is looking over your shoulder and having to quickly alt-tab to a spreadsheet (always keep a spreadsheet handy).

another exciting weekend.

I ventured out on Friday, to a local pub with a mate and his wife, and what started out as a quiet drink turned into sambuca and no memory of getting home. Saturday was recovering and although it was slow and long, it was a recovery. We have a man coming today to sand and varnish the floor, yesterday we had to get the sofa out of the living room and it took 2 hours, a spanner and the removal of the arms, excessive cursing and damning DFS to the heavens. Eventually we got it out and sold it to a

squits.

I am ill today, I know why, when you have a bit of a wheat intolerance and you chow down on a pizza, be prepared for the consequences, I wasnt and am off poorly today, it isnt really poorly, its dashing to the khazi every 2 minutes ill.

ah the joys of work.

Its days like today that I wish there was a button that said Neil, ban me for 24 hours. I was off on Friday and have come back to a mountain of work, stupid f**king managers not approving anything because clearly they have better f**king things interrupting their day, whereas I have 4 f**king days to leave my work in a reasonable state prior to starting a new f**king job. So all this has made me stressed and perplexed and rage filled and I do not want to go on a board and write something ill tho

fun, and games.

Fun and games this morning, a couple of things put a gordon ramsey sized crease in my forehead. First off Nightcrawler pasted a link to a website, a silent auction website and I posted that according to public records those people did not exist, the owner of that website messaged me, that was a surprise and well we discussed my comments and I think it finished amicably, my only thing was how the hell did he know about those comments? The other thing, wee insomniac posted tubgirl this morning, n

clap your hands say presents.

Should really be starting on the purchase of little ern's christmas presents soon, by now I am usually done and dusted and punching the air in delight that I have again surpassed myself and she is getting something totally unique, in the past she has had artwork, signed first editions, extremely rare records. This year so far I have got her some slippers from new look, and as far as inspiration goes thats about all that she will be getting. What do you get the dwarf that has everything? My clap

My weekend.

Ooh what a weekend. Thursday was our Xmas do, cant recall all that much of it, some I do remember I get little pangs of did I act inappropriately. I don't think I did but hell, until I meet up with people who were there I wont know. Friday I had to make it back from Telford's international hotel to Stafford and thought I was going to be sick every inch of the way, I wasn't but as soon as I got home it was to bed. We saw tenacious d on Friday night.I will try and set the scene for this concert,

2006

Its been a good year, enjoyable, in parts at least, sad in other parts but all told, all good. Due to another bad festival in reflection, we decided no more for next year and similarly, becoming bored at gigs, we arent doing them for 2007, outside of Brand new at birmingham, oh and we have a few get out clauses, the breeders anywhere, the pixies in birmingham or london, the sugarcubes anywhere, or lisa says billy talent anywhere, but thats it, althought darren hayman or ant dont count. So where

ailments.

It comes to something when you are too busy to even update your blog. I will try to put together a large post of some description soon. A quick recap. Off to the hospital today about my sinuses, hopefully nothing serious will turn up. Last year my doctor told me to cut out drinking, I chose not to listen to him, the same trouble I had last year due to the drinking is back. Outside of that all is good in the hood.

1987 and all that.

Nostalgia, I am not keen on the whole, Nostalgia tends to be 15 year olds saying how great something was even though they cant actually remember it or its Peter Kay saying Texan bars, they were tough werent they. That said 1987, twenty years ago this year. Was 1987 the quintessential year for music, was it ever bettered? Thats not an open question by the way, I dont want people replying no 1998 was because a shitty stereophonics album was released. A post on another blog and thinking about it

More festyness.

A few nice suggestions for festivals in the summer have been posted in my thread over in other festivals. 2000 trees seems highly likely and possibly charlbury if it goes ahead, little ern fancies truck but thats a no no, then it becomes more about the music and less about the festival, well it would with truck anyway.

And the festyness continues.

This morning we bought tickets for Workhouse festival, thats the third booked and it doesnt look like it is stopping there. As I said earlier, we were so put off festivals, after a fair few years doing them, and just over the past week, its the same excitement we used to have, I mean real excitement, workhouse and blissfields have really got us looking forward to something and there would be more, and I really think there will be more. Workhouse for a second, that festival looks on paper like i

Still looking for that June Festival.

What a game trying to find a festival that fits the bill in mid June, we did have it down to two, Thimbleberry and The Big Session. Then we found reasons not to go, Thimbleberry, well it is mainly distance. We are in Stafford and its in Co Durham and a few little things in the review put us off. The Big Session, I really had my heart set on this, but for so many reasons we have decided against it, its in a city for a start, camping is away from the arena area, and parking is a relative distance

Off camping.

Well I am off camping, Snowden, with the new super duper tent, hope it holds up, will be back on Monday, dont nick my washing.
