Well, last night was fun.
The smallest SG meetup ever (allegedly), with seven of us in Edinburgh. The city Cafe was very quiet, given that it's the end-of-festival weekend, the drinks flowed thick and fast, and the company and banter was top-notch.
Apologies to Cavelle and Abaddon for being too far away to talk to them properly for half the evening. Yes Cavelle, it is...

Spotted a top-tastic offer at one of the local bars last night - all cocktails 3.50 and free sushi with each cocktail. Sounded great, so a few of us went along to test it out... good cocktails, shite sushi. Such a shame.
Made up for it in grand style by going to see a couple of bands. The ever-lovely The Day I Snapped, followed by...

Whoo... update time.
For the first time in living memory I have taken a block of time off work.
I honestly haven't done this before. I really aren't sure what to do with myself.
In other news, my ex came back from a year in Australia the other day, and we went for (what turned out to be) many beers. My girlfriend is now afraid...

..But then again, after the night at rockworld I could barely say your name, either... No, wait! I was INCAPABLE of saying your name, therein lies the difference... "Pper <hic!> R-ch".. Forget it!! Enjoy your time off! I'm fairly sure you've earned it! See you really soon buddy... v78 @_@

Quite possibly!! A trip to Derby for such a momentous occasion (and your birthday!! hehe!! ) would be very good indeed.. If I have the means and the ways, why not? take care dude!!! v78 @_@

Told you I wasn't the journal-keeping type.
I'm knackered today. Flew down to Cardiff for an art show opening, which turned into a night full of mayhem and arguments about postmodernism in terms of aesthetics vs theory. always a fun one to get the juices flowing, that. I flew back this morning at...

Oh alright, I lied.
All week I have been hounded by various creditors for non-payment of debts. This is a direct result of SGUK shenanigans in Manchester. Which were well worth a week of hellish debt collection phone calls.

could be , how com the americans get to put what city (state whatever) they live in and we can only narrow it down to country. They forget that we are by nature very lazy in this country and 250 miles is considered a long way, a holiday almost.
Instead of putting country we should be known by our local so as we can find each other or ignore, whichever is apt'

Ahh. Back in the land of the living.
The British railway system is a blight on the arse of humanity. Seven hours to manage what should have been a three hour trip to Manchester for Asha's birthday, and four and a half hours for what should have also been a three hour journey back.

The only reason I consumed my body weight in water was because they stopped serving beer. I did attempt to rearrange the molecular structure of the water and transmute the H20 into amber nectar by sheer metapsychic mindpower alone. It didn't work.
Good to meet you Was a good night out indeed. I missed the Bob quote, which music was he refering to? The hardcore hour? I should be in Edinburgh on the weekend of the 29th August. Maybe arrange a meetup then for whoever is available for travelling. I suppose after the trains you'll be reluctant to travel down this neck of the woods? Probably be about a 15 hour jaunt the way the lines are running.
Cynicism. Not a lot I can say to that. It's a fair cop

Hell of a busy week. And a wierd (or even odd, if you prefer) Saturday night.
Saturday I did feck all during the day, then was prepared to go out and face the world by nine pee-em. I stepped out of my door to find a gaggle of hyperventilating girlies, a smashed window, and blood literally running (maybe even pouring) down my stairs. Not nice....

Ugh.. Too warm.. Typos come courtesy of going from dazzling sunlight to dark (sadly, not much cooler) interior. I feel stripey zigzags are the order of the day. I really hope it cools off JUST for Friday, since i can think of better places to be when its 24c on a friday at 4am... Answer: NOT Rockworld.. Heres hoping we roughly HALF the temperature for the weekend... I've posted a link to the star and garter website, since I reckon we may start the night there.... Its on the SGUK board, I think.. I may have imagined typing it... See you friday, my good man... @_@
I may have imagined typing it... See you friday, my good man... @_@Oh dear. I can see myself slowly being sucked into the idea of joining the SGUK posse in Manchester. this is not good, I really shouldn't be blowing money on such things. Plus it's my girl's birthday the day before, so I may not actually be allowed to leave town that weekend.
I could so use a night out somewhere outside of Scotland though.

Now I don't know you either and I seriously don't want to sound too hokey but Damnit boy, ya made my day.
If you're ever on Canada's west coast, consider yourself hooked up.
Are you aware of the Neil Gaiman interview being held for the SG? A couple days from now I think.
and, allowed? ouch. But birthdays are like Self-God days. If something ain't right, there can be hell to pay.

Damn, I said I wasn't going to be doing journal entries. now I look like a liar and a fraud...
Nobody will ever trust me again.
So anyway... Last night was a good 'un, and I'm currently tragically hungover. this being my lunch break, I am thankful that at least half of my day of pain must be over.
I wandered along to the 13th...

Meladdo's from Scotland I think arent you? 
hehe.. We may pass by the Star & Garter if anything good's on.. Funnily enough, Ive only just found out that Sheffield is actually more southerly than manchester... I refuse to believe it, they sound far more NORTHERN than us...

Tis true re: the whole southern sheffield ponces! Heheh! I know exactly how you and the 'gumbhis feel about Rockworld. The fridays are usually a major ordeal for me, but Im going to make an exception, sold on the company of course! They've FIXED saturday, with a dedicated GOOD punk room in the fishbowl. I tend to go to Voodoo in the Retrobar basement. Thats where Goldblade (Ive chatted to em occasionally, theyre good lads) sort of run a rock and roll/punk/trash/glam night. You can tell it has a somewhat more creative and discerning clientelle. Some of the outfits are amazing!
Anyway.. I should really stop chatting and pool hustling some funds together... Hopefully see ya soon mate... v78 @_@

Oh, journal schmournal.
I guess I'm just not the diary-keeping type. I've tried, oh how I've tried in the past... but it's just not me.
I'm extremely unlikely to update this, try Typescape instead, where I may or may not actually write something of interest occasionally.

Cheers matey.. Im getting a lot better at the 'process'.. Multiplying the colour layers to avoid cocking up the linewidths...
