This is about how good I am on the guitar now

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...

Kent Festival weekend

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 ...

RE: Mikku powder

Hi

Mikku powder is MSG so won't really matter if you leave it out - just supposed to enhance the flavour but most people prefer to avoid it for health reasons.

I bought a thing

This is what I bought at the boot fair yesterday, but was too traumatised to write about because of squished finger:It's a valet like this one, but a bit nicer I think. It looks older than it is and I've no idea what wood it's made out of, it's been ...

Google are you taking the piss?

Been getting this captcha thing from google all day, it's because we work in a big office and all share an IP address, so to the outside world it looks like lots of traffic from one computer. Honest though, there are hundreds of us here.This time I t...

Only light rain at Glastonbury

Some rain overnight and a little more on the way at the festival, it says here in the Times, it's hardly news at all really is it. Watched Glastonbury the movie on TV last night, partly it made me really wish I was there, but when I analysed it I fou...

RE: GBP49.95 for eight days parking at Gatwick airport!

Not quite, see location of all the airports here... I made that map! Well, google made it and I fed it with things.Thanks for chipping in anyway, whoever you are. Do you work for a rival parking firm, or have you just had a bad experience?...

Hot Leg

Hey the free MP3 of Hot Leg is pretty good! You can get it from Hot Leg's myspace page. Got tickets for the gig now, looking forward to it! Time for the country mice's biannual trip to the big city!...

RE: That's exactly why!

I don't know, I find it hard enough to choose jeans when I'm in a shop trying them on, let alone buying them off the back of a picture in an ebay listing. And, judging by the girl in the white jeans with the great ass, these might not be the jeans fo...

Some ill advised comments about swastikas saw the band fall right down before the signed goodies I got this day became worth anything... here's to a revival!
