Busy busy busy! Ahh the life of an internet supremo is never quiet. Today I'm off to finalise some designs for our website t-shirts, then I have to photograph The Vixen wearing them (but who am I kidding, that bit will be fun) and then I'm off to review some bands. Ooooh, if you happen to be in Lincoln on Saturday night, head down to the Jolly Brewer at 19:30 where there's an awesome performers competition on!
On a much more personal note, I really want to stress how much I hate racism. I travel a lot, especially on trains and this morning there was a guy going on about the way that you say the letter 'H', he insisted that it would be 'Hay-ch' where as his friend said he was always taught that it should be 'ey-ch'. Needless to say, the delightful chap saying 'Hay-ch' was considerably louder than his friend and uttered the remark 'You're not from this fucking country if you don't say "Hay-ch"..' His friend, quite rightfully pointed out that he was taught at school to say 'ey-ch'. After listening to about five minutes of this, Mr Hay-ch declared, to everyone on the train I might add, that anyone who says 'ey-ch' is obviously a Muslim and needs to get out of England.
Now, I'm no wilting rose and I'm not afraid to challenge people, especially racist morons who have an IQ the same as their collar size, so I leant across and very calmly told him to shut his mouth with the racist comments. I also informed him that 'ey-ch' is the correct pronounciation, but that 'hay-ch' is an acceptable regional variation, I say 'ey-ch' are you going to try to make me get out of the country? No. He shut up after that. I always find this with obnoxious bullies, that when someone they don't know challenges them, they usually back down.

Something similar happend to me, except the bloke that was being racist tried to hit me with his crutches lol, I don't think I was as polite as you were though
The worst thing was I was the one that ended up getting told off by the police!
Hope you have a fab night.
