About this blog

I went to a zoo, it was the worst zoo ever, they only had 1 dog, it was a shih tzu.

Wow.

I don’t really do the nerd thing, I pretty much hate sci fi and fantasy, I am sure harry potter is neither. I don’t play games, I have a psp but its not for games, I watch video on it. So when a mate of mine suggested I give world of warcraft a go, I sniggered a little, after all I have a wife. The whole premise was a bit of a turn off, genius mind. Imagine, you buy the game, 30 quid please, so you have bought the game, now you pay to play it, to use the servers, you have to pay again, on a mont

Workhouse Festival

My first festival of the year then, Workhouse in Mid Wales, and we knew it was going to rain, we were prepared for that but I always say if I can get the tent up in the dry, the weather can do what it wants. We got the tent up in the dry and shortly after it started to rain and it didnt stop. We ventured down to the arena on Friday and were totally amazed by its size, very small, very compact but very well set out, lots of small stages, all undercover, which was needed as the rain really did no

Work catch up

Let me waffle about work for a bit, its been a while and a considerable amount has changed since my last work related entry. I changed careers and the people were pretty much intolerable, I mean they just sat and talked shit about Dr Who all day, which is ok if you have been doing the job for 10 years and know what you are doing but not me, I didnt have the first clue. So this was driving me up the wall and was pretty much going to go back to Asset Management, (still with me? good.) So I told m

Warped Tour.

How many of these blogs' first word is likely to be well. I guarantee most of them will start well this is my blog, or well this is my first post or some such similar posting. Well then first post of a blog, as this is hosted by efestivals and because I have a different general music blog over at blogger, look for readyartbrut, I thought keep this to festival related. You may know that I went to the Warped tour in California last month, the Warped tour is an established one day travelling

V on 4.

E4 are showing the V festival, I have been to 4 V's, including the first one in Warrington. Its easy to take the piss out of it because its a clean polite facsimile of a festival and its like a bridging festival between say T4's party on the beach and reading festival, and now that I am watching it it does remind me more of those roadshows that channel 4 put on hosted by june f**king sarpong. I digress at the moment they have just had the feeling on and now its the delays. The delays supported

Time off.

Every couple of years or so I feel the need to get off line for a while, normally centres around me feeling that I have been spending too much time on my PC or work creeps up and I need to concentrate that aspect of my life. Now it seems that that is the case at the moment, well a combination of the two. It’s a little more difficult now though, with one thing and another.

Tilly and the Bawl

I wanted to explain my previous blog entry and the foul mood that unfortunately that came off the back of. I think part of it stems from the my thoughts on death and having someone very close to me die, and recently due to things here in real life that death although happened a few years ago, has been in the forefront of mine and my families life over the past few weeks, this coincided I suppose with the aftermath of some Australians death and peoples attitudes to that. I linked that to how I wa

Tickets ahoy.

As of last night I have my Leeds tickets, I had two Reading tickets and via a friend of Normbo's I made the swap last night. I can get excited about going now, was cutting it a bit fine though. We arranged this swap in May as it goes and for all the people that rip others off on this forum, this was a straight swap of tickets, neither of us pulled out and it was trouble free. Out last night in town a lot of people for the V festival was about, I hate to generalise but there are a f**kload of pe

Thursday stuff.

I have been a little subdued post Leeds, plenty of work to come back to and joy of joys on Tuesday our whole local server was down where I store most of my files, I sat twiddling my thumbs all of Tuesday and was hammered with work on Wednesday. I am back on top of it now. I see from the blog of bus that he is a serial early samich eater. I always always eat my sandwiches at ten, this stems from the days when I was an insomniac and may have been up at 3am, so come ten I was a hankering for sa

The Glastonbury Effect

One thing that tends to happen over Glastonbury week, we have an influx of dickheads that descend on efestivals, its as if they are aware that the moderators are away. 2 years ago there was a right plum and if I can recall the thread I will post a link to it.

Tents.

The last time the tent was out was at download, my kid has loads of storage in the attic room and the tents go back there. Yesterday she got a tent out as they have gone to Newquay for the week and she tells us that of the 4 tents that should be there, there is one. A little alarmed by that as they aren't like a cutlery set or a gas canister that could easily be in a dark corner, its 3 f**king tents, one a large one and 2 2 man tents. I am hoping it is just my kids dim wittedness and they are t

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

Shut up Peter.

So the cat has been put amongst the pidgeons regarding Teago and Leeds, not good but not the end of the world. The company outside of Teago was good anyway so no harm no foul. My worry at the moment is that I still haven't got the Reading tickets I am swapping for Leeds tickets. Ideally I wanted to get them swapped this weekend. I do not want to be scrambling about for a ticket if this falls through. I don’t think it will fall through but until I have the ticket in my hand it is a worry.

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

Shit week.

Shit couple of weeks all told, trying to concentrate on stuff and havent really been online too much. The company I work for is shedding 20% of its workforce in march, I will know then if I am one of them, internet f**king connection is up and down more than f**king lindsey lohan, and quite frankly if one more unplanned expense comes up I will not be happy. Dont get me started on work either, I work in an industry where you have to be pedantic, but for f**ks sake people take it too far.

Shambala festival

My weekend was fun, to say the least. Thursday we left to go to Shambala in the wilds of Northamptonshire/Leicestershire border. The drive down was effortless but I was a little riled that there wasn't any signs for the festival at all and I considered this poor on the part of the organisers. So we roll up at the gate and there a re a few people milling about so we know that we are going to get a good spot for the tent. We head to the wristband exchange and it is at this point that we are inform

Saturday is tiswas, never a day to miss cos.

I seem to be in a constant state of f**ked offness recently. I havent posted much in this forum or any other for that reason for this reason alone, I read posts and get f**ked off by them, I wouldnt be able to contribute as it would be purely negative. That said me and the dwarf went to see me you and dupree last night at Star City, we paid for the gold class seats so didnt have to tolerate 10 year olds being twats. Not a bad night and the first friday in a lifetime where I didnt drink. To

sad day

Life online is an odd beast, I have had an internet connection since around 96, 28k modem and it moved like a wounded dog, over the years I have made acquaintances, some friends and some very good friends. I have met heroes due to the internet and discovered more music than I could imagine. I have friends in Salinas, London, Chicago, Leeds, Glasgow, New York and other far flung places, St Albans for example. You know these people but you don't really know them, the lady I know in Salina

Robinson Crusoe.

Essex has assured me that my tickets will be here tomorrow, I feel his drug consumption has got the better of him. Tonight I am off to see 90's Leeds indie band Cud. A band that are possibly in my top 20 all time bands. Certainly in the early 90's in my top 5. Always used to see them supporting the Wedding Present and saw them just way too many times, its a bit of a deal for me tonight, unsure if I will feel the same emotion I felt when I saw the reformed pixies at brixton a couple of years a
