I've got one of these, that's not it though, hope it goes for a good price. If you want to buy mine, maybe with the tickets I have for Folkestone, get in touch. We're going to end up going at this rate :-(

Last chance for tickets (other people's tickets) or email me.

I can't decide if this is brilliant, or if he's doing all the complex stuff with his vocals. Entertaining anyway, if a bit long. Enough about the song, this performance is good too:

(Hmm not sure I can embed, here it is).

I first saw him doing Teardrop, that's better than this bo-rhap I think.

Just in case you're wondering how close the double murder and firebombing was from my old flat (even though I left there years ago), I just knocked this up for Mum and Dad, to give them a bit of a point of reference.

Isn't google maps just brilliant? Doing more on the "my maps" bit of it now too, I might stop hosting my own maps altogether, maybe that's google's plan, so we all just hand our data over to them.

There's something WEIRD going on with that murder, it sounds like it must be a case of horrendous mistaken identity, I am morbidly intrigued to find out. It is sounding a bit like a Christopher Brookmyre book, do you think they were really spies, or were planning on selling some kind of bio-secret to an evil genius superpower?

Why would they organise Booshstock and zoo+thousand for the same weekend? They're both fairly close (Hythe and Tonbridge) and obviously aimed at the same indie kids, this is like putting Glastonbury and Reading on the same weekend.

We're not going to either, thought about it, but it clashes with a party in London we'd planned to go to. Maybe next year, if either of the festivals survive.

Not Lost the TV show, I haven't actually thought about that since watching the fairly rubbish end of series four and writing that subject line. No, actually lost, some people I met yesterday who did not know where they were.

My walk from work to the station is down a country lane, it's not that fair from the middle of nowhere really. Two youths were stopped on the lane ahead, looking at me, I had my headphones in so couldn't hear what they were saying. Or rather plotting, probably, lining up a mugging, or a good happy slapping at least. No, they were lost, and needed to get to Portsmouth.

That's nearly 130 miles.

They were walking away from the station as apparently there was a 90 minute wait for the next train going towards London, but there's really nowhere to walk to round that way, there are no pavements. I told them to wait for the train and had to run for my own train, hope they were OK.

That is seriously lost, they must have got on the wrong train out of London (from the wrong station) and fallen asleep or something.

Clare saw elephants on the way to work this morning:

Slight repost from Folkestone Gerald and my blog / forum there:

I can't decide whether or not to go to Stereophonics next Tuesday, we have messed up a bit in arranging a lie in the following morning so it's not really convenient now. Do you want my stereophonics tickets? Make me an offer.

I half thought I'd put these tickets on ebay, but as with the last time I thought this I couldn't be bothered. And now it looks like we might really have to go! Clare is not working from home the next day so will not even want to stay until the end. This snap purchase, at more than thirty quid a ticket is not seemingly like my brightest idea at the moment. As it's a warm up too, I don't think they're even going to have a good support.

Also on a ticket tip vip tickets for zoo thousand at less than the cost price of normal tickets, less even than the cost we got them at work where we were offered a big fat discount through our social club. We're off to a party in London or we would have gone I think. Enjoy if you are, I'm sure lots of people locally are going, and are goign to go wild and festival crazy for a few days. I can't see many people travelling in from out of the area for it though.
