Excitement for this week:

Hmm, so far not much. I am mostly pinning my hopes on one job offer that I'm expecting to hear back from any minute now. It's a really good fit for my skills and experience, I only hope I don't get "gazumped" by someone offering to do the job for half the money, we'll see...

Decided to kickstart my gigging, which didn't quite tie in with trying to cut down on spending right now... Got some tickets for The Dirty Pretty Things at The Leas Cliff Hall. Hoping it'll sell out pretty fast, I think it will, so then I've got the option of going or flogging the tickets nearer the date. Could this be the start of a new ebay empire? Maybe not.

Got some email from the person who made the Harry Clarke: Darkness in Light documentary (about Clare's uncle. I'm getting a DVD copy of it off them, which will be nice.

Kept my self busy just recently doing some work on | UK comedy and satire, a new satire site by John O'Farrell, and also putting some voting into the gig listings on Folkestone Gerald. Getting a tiny bit more activity on the forum there, including plenty of dolphin stories.

Happy Talk like a pirate day, arr, have some real pirate gold...

Averaging only one post a week at the moment, blimey.

They're sure to

Did they all really sell out? They did a little show at the 100 Club on Oxford Street to promote this new stuff I think, that would have been a bit good... I don't think I've ever seen them, but I really like them too.

Actually 50 quid a pair is not bad at all, the base price including all the extortionate fees that get added these days can't have been less than that... These Dirty Pretty Things tickets were 15 pounds each, plus if I'd booked them online there was 2.75 per ticket booking fee, plus another 1.75 just to collect them on the door, postage would have been more... I went in in person, but they still wanted to charge me 1.75 per ticket debit card fee, so I paid cash.

Ah, youre Killers tickets are a bit more than that now...
