Breed77 kicked ass last night. Glad to see their live sound just keep getting better. Real shame to see them booted offstage though by the management after 6 songs due to the tight schedule. They deserve to do well. I hope they play again soon.
The first band Violent Delight were absolute toilet. Why anyone would give these talentless waster monkeys the time of day...

Hmm. Well my friend's wedding on Saturday went well, up into the point I potentially, shamefully and possibly irrepairably made an idiot of myself. I don't have the guts to elaborate, except to that it's the kind of behaviour you'd expect from a dribbly wino with no self-respect, not from a rational, sensible human being. The thing is, people might not have noticed, but then...

yeah, precisely...
i wouldn't worry too much about the drunken wedding episode. wouldn't be a British wedding without at least one drunken friend / family member / vicar spicing things up
at least you have the humility to be upset about it.
sir, we salute you!

This week has been mostly spent fantasising about the other ways in which I could be spending my daylight hours.
Approximately 33% of the time the daydreaming revolves around winning large sums of money and then spending it on travelling, presents for friends and family, setting up businesses and sponsoring animal sanctuaries.

You're far from London? I don't remember...
I've been having this persistent thought of starting a band again... maybe we should talk about that sometime.
And the prophet thing is an interesting concept indeed.

I know those daydreams... When I'm in a good mood they tend to be a lot like you describe. When I'm in a bad mood, however, I dream about my secret volcanic island and private army.
Wireless home networking is the Best Thing Evar!!! Man, I'm such a geek...
Finally had our xmas bash at work, which was ok, relaxed, but didn't get an opportunity to find out much from my bosses as we didn't get that hammered.
Trying to dodge the lurgy, and hoping I having got the dreaded tonsilitus again
Heading out on Saturday to look at suits etc....

you've just had your xmas bash?! hope you had fun!
lol i'm exactly the same about glastonbury, every year i tell myself 'i'll go next year' but i never seem to get round to it. maybe next year huh?
i'd love to have gone to download but it clashed with my exams and probably will do again next year. regarding the 'unpleasant shit', everything's ok now thanks
i did have the frustration thing covered but now i'm home from uni for the summer so don't get to see my man much. i'm seeing him tomorrow though

ah man... a week with nothing to do sounds like heaven woo....
Apart from playtesting and catching up with a few old friends the highlight of the weekend was going to see The Day After Tomorrow. I didn't expect too much and thusly I wasn't too disappointed either. The visuals were pretty stunning, although the 'story' ('plot' would be far too generous) is flimsy and is spun simply around the destruction of the world. Not sure about...

thank you hehe you think too much dude.
hehe you think too much dude.Anthrax rock. So glad I got to see them again. Plenty of old skool tunes too this time around. And the Astoria wasn't as sweaty and nasty as I'd thought it'd be given the weather.
Also ran into some old friends from sixth form days, which was cool, if rather bizarre. And one of them's married and his wife's about to have their baby!
Tsk....

I can usually remember the basic gist of the stories and legends but do have to reference back to my book collection. Plus most can be found on the net, although translations do vary a lot of the time. I'd like to remember it all though

awwww, cheers mate, I've quite forgotten what specifically I'd said, but I can imagine Thanks for taking the time to drop by
Thanks for taking the time to drop by Ok well my Download pics are up. Apologies in advance but I'm not photographer material and my camera is rubbish anyway.
Had a fab time though. Weather was marvellous and the lineup of bands was the bestest and heaviest evar!
Failed miserably to meet many people though as it only occurred to me when I got there that I didn't have anyone's numbers except Tubesound's...

Making your own Megalithic Yard
These ancient builders marked the year by identifying the two days a year when the shadow cast by the rising sun was perfectly aligned with the shadow of the setting sun. We call these the spring equinox and the autumn equinox that fall around the 21st of March and 21st September respectively. They also knew that there were 366 sunrises from one spring equinox to the next and it appears that they took this as a sacred number.
They then scribed out a large circle on the ground and divided it into 366 parts.
A megalithic circle was divided into 366 equal parts, which is almost certainly the origin of our modern 360 degree circle. It seems probable that when mathematics came into use in the Middle East they simply discarded 6 units to make the circle divisible by as many numbers as possible. The megalithic degree is 98.36% of a modern degree.
When the late Professor Alexander Thom surveyed over a thousand megalithic structures from Northern Scotland through England, Wales and Western France he was amazed to find that they had all been built using the same unit of measurement. Thom dubbed this unit a Megalithic Yard (MY) because it was very close in size to an imperial yard, being exactly 2 feet 8.64 inches (82.966 cm). As an engineer he could appreciate the fine accuracy inherent in the MY but he was mystified as to how such a primitive people could have consistently reproduced such a unit across a zone spanning several hundreds of miles.
The answer that eluded the late Professor lay not in the rocks, but in the stars.
The MY turns out to be much more than an abstract unit such as the modern metre, it is a highly scientific measure repeatedly constructed by empirical means. It is based upon observation of three fundamental factors:
1. The orbit of the Earth around the sun
2. The spin of the Earth on its axis
3. The mass of the Earth
Many ancient mysteries remain because of the lack of perspective. The folks of the day, we today, were just trying to understand and harmonize with the cosmic order/chaos to be able to blend with the substance of God.
Greetings and Im welcoming my self aboard. I am glad to meet a compatriot.
Hi, I hope my contribution will contribute to the collective.

Ha! No, Riddick ain't Dune. Though there were certainly some visual similarities here and there, it's a different beast. I know I'm gonna get clobbered for defending it, but what can I say?
Wow thanks for all the comments everyone, that must be a record! I guess I'll have to watch myself otherwise I'll be in danger of getting a rep for apparently sage and wise posts...
Just prepping myself for a busy weekend. Due to London Transport being s*** (again) I need a crash at a friend's to put me within reach of Victoria by 8.00pm tomorrow...

It's very simple really, the necessity has to be pressing indeed. Then you don't care so much about the money any more.

I hope he'll be ok.
We used to have a pet rat which loved beer, every friday we would pour some in his bowl, which he'll polish off (equivalent to a bathtub full of booze for a human being) then he'll run around in circles in his cage and then pass out till the next morning. Very heavy metal!
